Since seeing what the amazing Rachelle Fallon is doing with silverware in her beautiful and original Etsy shop Spoonerz - I have not been able to look at my utensils the same way!

(glares at the spoons just lazing around in my silverware drawer - why aren't you guys out making me money- why didn't you guys think of this!)

Rachelle is a totally talented and crafty metalsmith mom of four who hails from Planet Zilverware (she is very clever, too, although I note some kind of letter z obsession we will have to look into). She has taken those spoon rings we had in high school out of this stratosphere and into a whole new level of amazingness!

We are so lucky to have one of Spoonerz totally unique creations for our giveaway!


WHAT YOU GET:

One lucky winner will receive this stunning set of FIVE GARDEN MARKERS made from recycled spoons. These will turn your spring herb garden into the talk of the neighborhood folks!
