The (Triumphant) Return of Household Item Wrangler! (…and everyone else)

G’day. So… did ya miss me?


In case you need reminding, I’m known far and wide as the Household Item Wrangler - someone who advocates for the proper care and treatment of what others see as common and ordinary household items. 


In 2021, due to “creative differences” with this blog owner, I decided to do a bit of traveling and see the world. What I found was horrifying: due to Covid, there were warehouses full of disused and ignored household items, covered in dust, lying limp. Some had even gone feral.


My heart broke. 


And so I opened a shelter to rehabilitate, and where possible re-home, these poor unfortunates. It was hard work, back-breaking at times, but rewarding to watch as truckload after truckload were adopted and put into proper service. Man, it is said, doesn’t live on bread alone, but on the results of loving efforts. On that basis alone, I ate like a king.


I’m happy to say that the last residents of the shelter found new homes just as this blog owner came crawling back to me a few days ago, begging me to be a part of a new creative team for something that’s being called drawingXpressions.com. They’re on Instagram now and will be getting a newsletter going soon - look for the link in an upcoming post.


At this point I guess it goes without saying that I decided to join the team (but did extract the concession that he’d help highlight the plight of other household items within this new endeavour).


Look for further updates and new stories weekly!
