Cor, don’t you just LOVE a nice souvenir spoon?! When I saw these in a New Zealand charity shop for 50 cents I snapped them up. They just totally evoke a colonial inspired 1980’s afternoon tea vibe, eh?
I have had them rattling around with a faint idea of using them for something but then when a need arose for a place to hang our tea towels I just KNEW. Just knew. These spoons were always meant for greater things than stirring sugar lumps.
Here it is, another 5 min recycling crafty frolick:
I found this bit of wood on the pavement once and have had it randomly on display. I love the imprint of VB ENGLAND along it. It is a bit rugged but I thought it would help my spoons to sparkle.
Linking up with the ever brilliant Magpie Monday of course!

That is a FANTABULOUS idea! I have some old mismatched EPNS spoons knocking about, this would be a perfect way to use them. You are clever. I’m pinning :0)
Thaaaaanks 🙂
This is exactly what I am doing for a friend who owns a teashop – although she wanted regular vintage spoons rather than souvenir ones. It looks great, although I have a dislike of no more nails since moving into a flat where EVERYTHING had been attached using it and removing things meant great lumps of plaster falling out.
(Incidentally, I have just had to re-add your blog to my followed list. I’m having a lot of problems with blogger seeming to randomly remove sites and as I follow quite a lot I don’t notice for a while. Sorry)

Oh gosh yeah no I would never ever, really never, just go around the house sticking things up haphazardly in this way ever ever.
*hides in shame*
haha
LOVE IT ! The little pictures add a colourful touch. Wonderful xx
I have something similar, like Lakota says with vintage spoons.
Wow that is such a good DIY ptoject – looks fab!
What a brilliant idea – the end result looks fab!
What a great idea, I’m always seeing spoons like that in chazza shops and never know what I’d do with them, now I know!
Thanks everyone!

i have a friend who makes rings out of teaspoons and likes the souvenir ones becuase they usually have the most decorative stems. i love this use as well!
Suuuch a good idea! Will have to try xx
