My dear friend Marsha recently gave me a lovely present...
(in our circles, she is known as Miss Santa Claus!)
She is always so generous with giftsss...
and also knows how much I lurrrve my kitchen gadgets!
.
It's a Pineapple Slicer from Williams Sonoma!
...plus 2 fresh pineapples! ~SWEET*
Have you guys seen or used this gadget before?
.
Certainly makes cutting & peeling a pineapple so much easier
...and FASTER!
It's quite easy....just some elbow grease, insert the instrument
and push-twist-turn-turn-turn-clockwise and...PULL out!
.
" Voila! "
Perfectly sliced fresh pineapples! ~so JUSSSCYYY !!!
you see the flower arrangement in the back ground here?
.
Well...I rushed to the backyard and cut some
fresh spring flowers...
(promise, I did NOT steal from the neighbor's garden!!!)
.
Nothing goes to waste here in my kitchen~ehem*
So I made a quick flower arrangement...
.
Fresh pineapple VASE!!!
.
errr...you like?!
.
Bubbly Cheers to wonderful & generous friends always!
She told me, "It's better to give than to receive...you know."
~and I replied loudly, "AMEN !!!"
.
" Lurrrrrve...my new toy! Thank you Marsha!! "
~XOXO*

Okay, I want one!
And, I want a brain like yours that comes up with the fabulous idea of using the cored pineapple as a vase!
Brazilliant!
That's very creative... using the base of the pineapple as a vase. I want that pineapple slicer too. Here in my home, we do the traditional way of peeling the pineapple, removing each eye one by one. Yes, I know, it's too taxing.
Enjoy your pineapple, I'm currently enjoying my juice right now. xoxo
i love! what a fantastic idea. you're so savvy.
That is way cool! I don't normally buy pineapples but if i had that, i totally would.
Wat a fabulous idea :) Makes me crave for a pineapple juice.
wow!!!! i need one of those!!!
You are wonderful!! The vase and flowers, so fab. Your friend is very thougthful, I love her packaging with the little copper cany mold.

Extremely creative. Did the whole creation smell absolutely delicious?
Amazing! Who knew you can get that much out of just one pineapple :)
Thats the handiest gadget!!

Oh I want that! I love pineapple and this gadget looks like so much fun. Love the vase and the drink looks so refreshing.
xoxo
oh my goodness- that is just delightful! I just adore it- you are such a creative gal.
PS: I steal flowers from the neighbours (as well) Shhhhh...
Your friend even decorated your gift box with a pineapple. How special she is!
It sure does look easy. The slices are luscious looking.
Eco friendly folks would be so proud of the way you used the empty pineapple for something useful.
You go girl! As if you need to be encouraged!
Karena & Shaddy,
the pineapple ornament is W Sonoma signature gift-wrapping~ & they are free with purchase~ check it on line!
Thank you everyone~SWEET*
whooa wow! that's a pretty neat tool!! and the pinapple vase is pretty! wonder what else can be done with a pinapple.. hmm
That is the coooolest gadget ever! And I love love love the vase!
There are things in this world I couldn't even imagine - this slicer is one of them. Anything that minimises work must be good, no? Plus a natural vase - double whammy!
I have never seen one before but it's amazing! Just in time for Summer! ...and look at your kitchen - heaven! The flowers, the bits and pieces - *sigh*! All so effortlessly chic an wonderful! XO's
Yes like.
You're so versatile LNM.x
Whoa! That is awesome! I just cut up a pineapple for a church dinner a couple weeks ago and was swearing the whole time. It's a lot of work!
Wow!
That is pretty fantastic!
The vases...Too much!
xo

What a genius idea - the gift AND the vase!
GHA, those things are the BEST. I hate having too many one-trick gadgets, but I would buy one of these in a heartbeat.
I need a pineapple gadget! I would totally eat pineapple more. And I love that you turned it into a vase. Just BRILLIANT. I need to use all capitals for that because it really is that brilliant.
Oh I love it, I want one. Cheers for the cool flower arrangment...thinking on your feet there honey....!
xoxo
Where has that been all my life?? OMG!
that is seriously the cutest/greatest creation ever made! love the way it multi tasks for you, ahhh i want one! haha
what a 'sweet' gift, those pineapples look juicilicious, and those flowers are just where they should be!
That tool looks incredible! I'm pretty envious now that it's summer. :)
