Teeny Tiny Tuesday: Dumplings

This is another set I picked up in a blind box and have steadily grown to appreciate. It is another set from Is Dinner Ready? (Kid Robot had them for sale in their London shop at the time and I can't resist Re-Ment in person!) and has lots of cute details. I turned the dumplings over on the plate so you can see how they are 'cooked' on the bottom! Totally brilliant. I also love how the caps come off the two glass sauce bottles on the left. Well, it's great for pictures but not so great if you don't like the thought of losing any of your beloved Re-Ment. You can also see that there is a little bowl of dipping sauce with a matching design to the plate and a tiny bottle of sauce that explains how it got there. Lovely touch.

I really like the red enamelled pan with the glass lid too. I only have one other frying pan from an unknown set and this is nicer :) The pan has a silver bottom with the typical circle design. My brain isn't working well enough to describe it beyond that! The jug with the water pouring out of it is pretty good and I do like these kind of items when I have a doll to pose with it - otherwise it looks a bit creepy unless you crop the handle out of the picture. It can be dismantled though so you don't have to include the water in pics if you don't want to. The spatula seems a little mismatched but it seems to make the set seem more realistic to me. I know I have barely anything that matches in my kitchen!

Is there any Re-Ment set I don't like?!

Teeny Tiny Tuesday: Silver Dish Rack

I promised I would show you the silver Re-Ment dish rack this week after showing you the pink one last week, so here it is! 

The sponge is my absolute favourite piece in this set (from 'Is Dinner Ready?') and the main reason I bought this if I'm honest. I also love the tea towels because they are such a classic pattern. I'm not entirely sure but it seems like there are two dish soaps and a hand wash. I'm not sure why there would be two lots of washing up liquid but maybe they are for different things? The scourer freaks me out a bit if I'm honest and I have thought about throwing it in the bin but I like to have complete sets where possible. It kind of looks like a small furry animal!

The rack itself is a lot smaller than the pink Storage Beauty version and the plates cannot stand up in the slots. They seem slightly out of proportion to the rack to my eyes. The patterns on the four plates included are very sweet though. 

I have put a 50 pence piece in the comparison image to show scale overall. It's pretty clear that the silver dish rack is a better size for the Re-Ment kitchens available but the pink set edges it for me because it is so colourful.

What is your favourite dish rack set?

Tomorrow will be the grand occasion of my 100th post and I'll be running a special giveaway so be sure to check back for details!

Teeny Tiny Tuesday: Sad Pan With Soup

This week I'd like to share with you the infamous Sad Pan With Soup also, but far less interestingly, known as Is Dinner Ready? set number one. 

I'm not going to lie, I'm a fan of said sad pan as it seems are a few others over on the Re-Ment Addicts group flickr pool. If you're unsure as to why this set is loving know as SPWS it's simply down to the fact that a member of the group bought a blindbox hoping for a specific set and ended up with a "sad pan with soup". There is now even a Sad Pan With Soup Re-Ment Rehab group for this and other unloved sets for owners to show off their loving snaps. I am a new member!

I especially like this set for the tofu and the spring onion pieces. As a vegan, any sets with tofu are loved! The sad pan is also a great piece I reckon as it has a lovely 'wooden' handle and, erm, knob bit (I dunno!) on top of the lid. The chopping board is reversible and has a vegetable side as depicted by the vegetable image you can see in the top right corner and a meat side as depicted by a fish. 

Go and take pics of your Sad Pans with Soup with pride as all Re-Ment sets deserve love!
