Thank you so much Shirley. I knew you would love them. :) Please don't say what I am getting, because I want it to be a surprise like Christmas mornings. :) Spoons huh.... now I am really curious. lol I will bite my tongue and not ask any question about them. Sent you a longer response in the email about your dinner plans. Harry

Shirley sends spoons to people here and calls it her spoon club. Of course that depends on her supply and what she finds at the fairs. She is so seet and generous, as well as being a renaissant artist.

like Christmas mornings. :)

Oh, Harry - you will love Shirley's spoons - they are so cute and really handy for scooping up small things like beads. Enjoy!!

Well Shirley... between Tina and Kandice I am really excited about recieving your SURPRISE package. :) The spoon sounds like it's going to be a very treasured item for me and I just may make a shadow box and encase it surrounded with Paua Shell trim. :) I will wait for the package before I start construction on the shadow box. I have 3 made but I am not sure they will hold the spoon. I guess I will have to wait and see. January is going to be a loooooooong month. lol

more that one person has reached for my spoon and had their hands slapped! NO ONE gets my spoon!

and yes, Nicole and Lynda were fascinated with it!

Oddly, I use mine almost daily -- for its originally intended purpose -- as a salt spoon.

I rarely pre-salt food. And I like the flavor of the kosher salt, which won't go through shakers.

ah - i don't pre-salt food either. but i've been on a low-salt diet as much as possible for years. so much processed food already has more than enough salt than is good for me.

i understand your preferences, tho!

there are some things I salt...raw potatoe, apples, watermelon, boiled chicken liver (yes, I am weird), boiled eggs, and pinto beans. I very rarely salt anything else. I season (and might use onion salt/garlic salt), but I don't really that "salting"...and am more likely to use garlic/onion powder.

Do you have salt cellar to put the salt in. Maybe I shall have to see what comes along at the antique fair. If I remember rightly your spoon was one of the plain elegant ones. Shirley

In article , Christina Peterson writes

Exactly. A plain elegant one. Very touchable and well-balanced. I have several bowls I use depending on my mood. A cheap little clay pot from Mexico which sits by the stove. A couple very small (individual) vaseline vintage bowls. A pretty little green bowl. And even a plain etched votive candle holder. They're fun.
