That is not a toothpick holder!  A toothpick holder is a little round container that is specifically labeled toothpick holder!  You can’t just use anything to hold toothpicks!

I love taking something and making use for it as something it’s not. Mostly just because it’s more fun and interesting.  I think another reason is because I hate conforming and buying something just because someone else said I should.  Who made up these rules and how did we allow them to seep into our brains without our approval?

Is it just good marketing?  A long line of genetic morphing?  It’s like thinking that you have to buy a vase in order to display flowers.  You can’t put flowers in just anything!  It has to be a vase! Or Don’t put the butter in that!  What’s wrong with you?  Get a proper “butter dish”!

Why?  Why do I have to go out and buy something that is specifically labeled  “butter dish” or “toothpick holder” or “napkin ring” or “coffee table”?  Use anything.  Seriously, get creative people!

Life is way more fun and interesting and beautiful when we take a moment and think outside the box.
