This is something I have been thinking about for a while. I must admit, it hurts me to see all the one use plastic products we use daily. I watch the people around me taking all these to go lunches in plastic recipients, eat them with plastic cutlery, then buy a bottle of water that contains so little water in it. Be invited to a barbecue and have to use a plastic plate and cutlery and put it in the trash 10 minutes later. With a tiny bit of organization, we could avoid most of that trash.
We could carry a coffee cup with us, if we know we take a daily coffee to go. Some restaurants offer a little discount if we bring our own container for the to go lunch (ok the discount doesn't really matter, we can do it only because it's better to ;), we could carry some cutlery with us, they don't take much room in a bag that most of us carry anyway. Oh wait, my job is to sell cutlery!!! So this is where I can do my active part and not only blabla! I created a little set with a "to go" spoon and fork. I tested it myself for a few weeks before sharing it with you and I must say I use it all the time. Whenever someone offers me a plastic spoon or fork, I say NO THANKS! and I wave my "to go"cutlery at them! The spoon and fork have a hole at the handle so that they can be attached together to a ring and come in a little pouch for your to carry them in your bag.
I made two versions on this set, one personalized (with words on the spoon and the fork) and another "word-free" version so that I could offer at a better-priced option. You can find the "to go cutlery" under this page.

Tomorrow I am flying to Canada to visit my old friends from my time there (and find some spoons, who knows) (already and exactly 3 years that I moved to Zürich!), so all order placed between today and June 15th with be fulfilled when I return.
In the meantime, check out this great video by Greenpeace "Story of the Spoon" that a friend shared with me today, with the summer and barbecue season coming up, it might give you (good) ideas... :) it is about spoons after all...!
♥♥♥ See you in two weeks! ♥♥♥
So cool!!! The Berlin Magazine LUST AUF GUT Berlin // Republic of Culture made a double page about Bramigk & Breer, the only store in Berlin (Charlottenburg) that carries my spoons. That's a cool picture :D

]]>My spoon hunt in Lausanne this weekend was successful, I came back with a full suitecase. There's a few special and rare spoons in there, an English one, a "Vallorbe 1899-1949" one, a "Section de Tir" one, and a couple of ice cream spoons (very hard to find). And a beautiful view of the mountains behind the lac Léman as a bonus :)
