This could be a great...colander.

Last week, I saw an article about a guy who won the right to use a colander as a hat in his driver's license photograph. This raises a lot of questions. We can discuss rights, liberty, religion, respect. But this is not the intention of this post. I just remembered that I had a beautiful and retro colander on my table, and I use it as a fruit bowl. People use their colanders for their own purposes (in their own unique ways), right?

I selected some pictures which show different uses of a colander in the home:




Where did I find them?
