Urban witch seeks dustpan.

March 31, 2021 8:13 PM

I'm not a witch, but I bought a very extravagant custom broom. Sadly my dustpan is ugly white plastic and obviously not a good match. Can you recommend a gorgeous or artisanal dustpan that can live up to my purple green and blue broom?

Artisanal-ality of them is debatable, I've always thought enamel dustpans looked pretty nice.

Depending on your interests and abilities, a simple metal dustpan like this could be a nice canvas for your own custom creation.

My grandparents had a copper dustpan, and I always really liked it. Here's one example, but they're lots of places/

I vote for that copper one. You want it to work as well as the ugly ones and also not weigh ten pounds.

This, BTW, is the best dustpan I've ever owned. No rubber strip to crack and warp, yet it scoops nearly every speck. A solid supporting choice if you want your broom to be the star (and you actually plan to use the dustpan).
