Wood objects seemed to have been my theme this week.
I decided to visit a Salvation Army in a nearby town, I'm sad to say ours closed down several years ago. While walking around the furniture area, I spotted these three wooden spoons taped together with a price point of $1.54 (what an odd price system they had) sitting on a table. For some reason, these wooden spoons intrigued me, were they old, what sort of woman or perhaps a man cooked with them, and what sort of wonderful tastes did these spoons mix or stir? I really like the spoon with the deep bowl and round handle. I believe I might have found something new to collect. Any wooden spoon collectors out in blog land that would care to give me advice on wooden spoons?
I found this wood box with the iron handle at an Estate sale. It's not old but I like the shape and the way the metal handle was attached. It will now sit by my chair and hold my magazines.
This handmade wooden box is perfect for all of the children's books that I have recently purchased from the thrift stores. I have been searching the thrift store book shelves for the classic; The Little Red Hen, Red Riding Hood, and Three Little Kittens. This is a perfect container to hold them neatly.
Looking forward to see what everyone else found this week.

The wooden boxes are my favorite find of yours. I do love to cook with wooden spoons too. A tip if you didn't see it on Pinterest...Lay a wooden spoon across a pot of boiling pasta and it will not boil over. Guaranteed! I tried it and it's true. So these are really MAGIC wooden spoons.
ReplyDeleteI love those spoons!!! What a great price, too!
ReplyDeleteI really like the wooden container for all your magazines.I could do with somewhere to put mine.I keep trying to have a clear out of them but cant bear to throw any away.I suppose I should just find somewhere for them to go so they arent cluttering the place up!
ReplyDeleteI have a crock of wooden spoons next to my stove, I don't do anything special to them except not let them sit in water for too long or else the wood gets waterlogged. I agree about the pricing at Salvation Army - what ever happened to $1.99? Everything has some weird cents added to it.
ReplyDeleteif u have a color scheme, you can also paint ur wooden box :) it has a nice shape too :)
ReplyDeleteWood things always get my attention too. I have purchased a few spoons, thought I was nuts, then saw other people bought them too. They are great!
ReplyDeleteI love all things wood. That estate sale find is particularly lovely.
ReplyDeleteLovely finds...I really like the wooden boxes.
ReplyDeleteVisiting from ATG - The wooden box full of books is an old strawberry basket. It would have held six quart baskets of strawberries. I like knowing the history of my finds. The wooden spoons have character. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteI like wooden spoons too and have at least two which I used often. There are some recipes out there which require a wooden spoon and not metal spoons for mixing.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds!
ReplyDeleteI can see the attraction of the wooden spoons, they look so tactile and I bet they have tales to tell.
You're wooden crates are neat too.
