Funny & silly spoons

My kids say I'm "into" wild. They may be right... I like things that are different. Here are some of my more special spoons - special in terms of shape.

I love the spade-like shape of the spoon itself & the freaky hairdo of the guy...

This one can hang on the edge of a bowl or jar (like to let the honey drip back in) I haven't found it particularly useful, but I've seen my daughter use it for eating yogurt...

This spoon is really silly with that smiley guy at the top. It can hang on the side of a mug or bowl, like if you want to serve someone coffee but keep the spoon dry so they won't mess up your sugar...

This spoon can be perched like a bird on the side of a jar. I must admit that I've never used it, but I think it definitely qualifies as wild.

His & hers spoons

Ben & Jerry's just posted this picture of a great way to share ice cream on my Facebook stream.

I just want to know where you get them... 

Welcome and... Silver plated spoons

I realized that I love spoons about 10 years ago, when I "fell in love" with a spoon that belonged to my grandmother (pictured below - the spoon, not my grandmother... although I probably should put up a picture of her as well). I inherited this set when my grandmother passed away.  Since I discovered my love for spoons, I started collecting. The ones I like don't have to be special, they just have to be different from what I already have. This is the place where I've chosen display my ever-growing collection.

To start it off, here are the silver-plated spoons - of course with my all-time-favorite first.

My Bubby's spoon (Reba Mager)

Stamped with 1847 Rogers Bros on the back. The back of the spoon is also beautiful and the pattern is very aptly called First Love from 1937.

These silver plated spoons also belonged to my grandparents.

Stamped 1847 Rogers Bros. I believe it is the Tipped style from 1879 and belonged to my great-great grandparents.

Stamped Avon Plate. I wasn't able to find this style, but I'm guessing it is also from about 80 years ago.

Stamped Holmes & Edwards, this is the Guest of Honor pattern from 1935.

From this set, I don't have the teaspoon, but this is so beautiful... The pattern is Grosvenor from 1921 by Rogers Bros.

Which is your favorite?
