The apple peeler and blender are plainly unsafe around her of late. 
She's been getting boxes of old kitchenware at the goodwill outlet and 
putting them together with fruit bowls and glass ware to make lamps, 
which she sells at local galleries. Some of them are outright hilarious. 
She did a floor lamp whose shaft was composed of matched sets of opposed 
jello molds all stacked up in diminishing sizes...and so on. Things 
dissappear from the kitchen shelves around here.
