I Almost Stopped In My Tracks,

when I saw these, 

rolling pins, I can remember my grandmother always using them, not so much my mother, but nowadays they almost seem to be dying out, pies seemingly shop bought rather than home made,  

and then I saw these, not the plain rolling pins of old, but patterned ones, 

they are made by Zuzia Kozerska of Valek Rolling Pins, maybe rolling pins have been in kitchens all of this time and I just have not seen them?

in any event Kozerska has been making so many different designs for cooks and chefs to choose from, as well as special mini pins just for kids, (not available as I write, but hopefully they will be back on line soon), You can see more in her Etsy shop, I can almost taste them now, steak and kidney pies, yummy!
