Borrowed Spoons - new in Etsy

It all started with Jasper Morrison's Book of Spoons. It inspired me to take some pics of my spoons, and these caused cutlery drawers to start rattling all over the world.

First, Lisa sent me a pic of her spoons...


Then Lena took pics of hers...
And Kelly did too.

I was pretty over the spoon about all this, and when my blog friends kindly let me use their spoon pics as inspiration along with my own, the happy result was Borrowed Spoons - a teatowel design in three cutlery-hued colourways. It's in my Etsy shop today.


And in stainless steel too:

And because everyone was so nice about sharing, and because spoons are used for feeding, I'm pledging a dollar from each online sale of Borrowed Spoons to the Peninsula Schools Feeding Association, which provides 140 000 little kids with a nice hot meal at school every day.


So I guess I should say thanks to Mr Morrison for starting it all. Thanks, Jasper!

On behalf of all the children that we feed on school days, P S F A says thanks so much for choosing us to benefit from this wonderful generosity. It costs us R1,20 per day per child to feed, so every Rand donated helps!
