orange i lucky?

Just a cool little dish that I found at a thrift store, too cute not to show off. I've never really seen a dish like it before. Is it for sugar? That must be why it's so sweet.

While we're on the subject of orangeness and sweetness. The large orange pot to the right of the dish is currently home to some fledgling avocado plants (if you read my farm-blog over the summer you will recall that I started an avocado once before but a dastardly chipmunk came by and ate it)! I'm pleased as punch to have these wee sprouts growing beside my work station - where I can keep a close eye on them and fend off any chipmunks attacks.
