My local paper featured a great story about a couple who collect Sunbeam Mixmasters; they have 120! Now that’s a collection. They started with two found on the side of the road (love that hard waste!) and took it from there. I didn’t realise the old models in Australia came in such beautiful colours.
Keeping me going:
- The Eagle (yep, the site's in Danish but with pretty pictures)
- Big Love (where would I be without SBS?)
- Currently watching Veronica Mars Season 1

Hi , ther is something about food mixers, I have a cream kitchen aid one, its great for mashing potatoes with lots of butter!!!..its funny how similar people seem to connected, ive just read your profile, and guess what , my son went for the part of the boy in about a boy and he was down to the last four in the casting auditions...and also last christmas we went to tokyo and stayed in the hotel which features in lost in translation..spooky!
I love seeing that a man is part of the mixer collection craze. It's pure bliss to find a partner who shares such a random obsession!
Love hard rubbish - taped big love on iq last night - cant wait to watch.
I would love one of these mixers - have always loved my mum's, but don't have any space in the kitchen.
Sulu, I agree! I'm lucky that Mr J 'gets' my collecting compulsions.
Handmade, I meant to add that I love those funny connections too. In Lost in Translation, there is a redheaded jazz singer who ends up in Bill Murray's bed. She's a local singer from these parts and recently Mr J stood behind her in queue to pay for petrol. Not a big thrill really (because she is seen at the opening of a envelope) but just a funny thing. Your son's experience is far more interesting!
Love Big Love - it's great!
Unbelievable! I think I saw these folks on tv recently?
Hey, I've tagged you for a meme if you're up to it!
I love these mixers too I have one that was mum's even though it doesn't work now I burnt it out!! oops! This couple were on ABC recently on Collectors, it was a great story
It's a lovely idea but where would you put 120 mixers? Fascinating but slightly scary. I wish I'd seen them on Collectors!
