I have one last little kitsch item to add to the mix, although this vintage Cascade Beer bottle opener is a little subtler than the previous two.
I was in my late teens and my ex-boyfriend’s family was sorting through the belongings of his great aunt, who had recently passed away. I rescued it from the charity pile and it has since opened countless beer bottles for my guests. It also keeps the memory of this woman, whom I had never actually met, alive somehow. Kind of nice isn’t it?
They all have a place, they’re quirky, fun, tell a story and start conversation… Long live the kitsch! Remember in small doses please!
This is the last of the Kitsch series. I’ve really enjoyed hearing about your kitsch confessions here and over on my Facebook page – keep it rolling! See you Wednesday.
