I also LOVE to use them, I find the worn edge such an inspiration when I think of how many cake and biscuit mixes those spoons must have stirried over the decades.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, JulieMinni Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05380570737780717931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8033398967737588792.post-39245982230086042122008-08-31T08:19:00.000+10:002008-08-31T08:19:00.000+10:00I love the spoon and all it represents.

May the spirit of your ancestors get passed down to new generations for many years to come. <BR/><BR/>I have memories of my youth, of my grandparents (all passed away now) and the lessons they tought me, but each year I find I have keep the spirit alive by meditating and digging deep into past memories. <BR/><BR/>If memories were gold dust, I would have a big non-plastic bag full :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995214671079288985noreply@blogger.com
