    Look at what I found! OWL spoon from 1892

    I was unpacking and cleaning up a big lot of silverware that I recently bought at an auction,

    and found THIS!

    It's a very very old spoon, pattern dating from 1892, called OWL.
    See what it's engraved with, and let your imagination run free...

    I am already making so many stories up :)

    The "Gonzo Görrlz" story

    **STORY**STORY**STORY**
    I was going to edit it and make it shorter, but I don't think I can/want to, so here is Simone's story, as she sent it to me! Zürich people will recognize the setting :) :

    "We are 5 girls who went to school together. We kind of lost track during the years, our lives were going different ways, some went to see the world, some worked hard, some had children, got married, settled down... But we somehow got back together (facebook/friends/coincidence) 3 years ago and found out that we are still the same 5 girls. So we decided to go out and have fun and dance and eat and drink at least once a month. And because we always went to the same club, Gonzo on the Langstrasse, we called ourselves "Gonzo-Görrlz". I am so so happy to have my girls back and I wanted to make them a special gift for Christmas - what could be nicer than Lovingspoons! By stirring strong coffee with your lovely spoons, we will even share hard hangover mornings after the long Gonzo-Görrlz-Nights."

    Ps: I got special permission to post this story before Christmas :)

    New product! Key rings made out of spoons

    It made so sad to watch all those worn spoons pile up in a box in my workshop, I decided I needed to make something out of them. Something rather useful if possible... So i bought the necessary equipment (not so easy to cut a spoon and put wholes in it!), had my boyfriend show me how to use all those machines (no, I had no idea how to use a drill until not too long ago!), and voilà!

    Nice key rings, the handle of the spoon is as is, and the top, which I flattened, can be personalized with your message.

    You can see and choose from all the designs I have available here, and also order your custom key ring. So your mom/dad/friend/boyfriend/girlfriend can carry you with them all day long :)
