I feel a new love coming on, which is going to lead to a little bit of junk hunting on my part, or re-purposing/up-cycling. You know what they say, one man's junk...
I seem to have a thing for utensils lately. I kind of adore them and all of the unexpected things they can be used for in home decor and such. I was itching to stamp with them a bit and reached for my Tea for Two Additions set from Papertrey Ink.
I also used the Tag-its #3 stamp set, Limitless Layers 1 3/4", Teacup, and Mat Stack 3 dies.
Anyway, I've been hunting for inspiration and have found it everywhere. So many beautiful things created by talented individuals.

Beautiful. I am in bed sick with a very wicked virus and I heard your notification go off sometime in my sleepless night. I had to take a quick peek and I was not disappointed. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Aren't these utensils the sweetest things?!! I've never seen spoon with writing on them. Tea is my drink of choice, and I have a collection of teapots; but now I think I'm going to have to take a better hunt for spoons.

Your cards are so amazing. I never tire of seeing what loveliness you create. I haven't made any in awhile, but am making some lavender sachets that I would like to put pretty bows on and would love to know your secret for getting your seam binding bows to look so fluid and pretty. Will you share? I especially like the look of the one in the pale aqua on your April 20 post. If not, I understand, and thank you anyway!!

Joyfully,

I *love* the stamped cutlery... What a fun way to mark your herbs! I have a cutlery bracelet like the one you showed - and it always gets lots of attention! Your card is stunning, as always :)

I am always on the hunt for silver (plated) tableware and I will never get tired of it!
