Say It With Silverware…

 

My new product at my retail location this Spring is going to be these hand stamped spoons.  I have been taking a metal smithing class this Winter and wanted to include some metal pieces in my line.  I found the vintage spoons at a second hand silver shop and stamped away the past couple of days getting these babies done.  I would love some ideas on sayings that could go inside the spoons.

Here are some forks for the Wedding Cake ceremony.  They say, I Do and Me Too.

This one says, Marry Me.  I would be so excited to sell this particular fork and hear the story that follows.

Here is my display of my garden spoons.   I don’t think I’m going to put them in my Etsy store just because they are a bear to photograph but am selling them for $9.50 a piece at my retail location.  These were a ton of fun to do, let me know if you would like me to do a tutorial on this.  There are some tricks on how to stamp these that make the job a lot easier.

Georgia O’Keeffe Quoted

“I get out my work and have a show for myself before I have it publicly.  I make up my own mind about it-how good or bad or indifferent it is.  After that the critics can write what they please.  I have already settled it for myself so flattery and criticism go down the same [...]
