Well, what a lovely thread 💜

@PeachPiePip
I use one if these to keep the spoon off the bench where my kids make toast.
Our kettle and toast are close together and if I was to rest my teaspoon on the bench, even if it had been wiped down, I could risk being glutened by a stray breadcrumb Wink

Another that has never, ever been unable to understand the need for such a thing. In effect, it’s just an excuse to keep using a dirty teaspoon for your next cuppa.

And don’t get me started on the teabag tidy!

What a fabulous thread.

Etinox · 23/02/2021 07:29

Beautiful- please set up shop and let us know when you do Flowers

Posted before finishing the thread. That’s so kind of Seven to make something for OP 🌟

PeachPiePip · 23/02/2021 07:25

Teaspoons get used and then washed or put in the dishwasher or placed on the counter. If it’s the latter, then any splash of liquid left on the counter gets wiped up.

What’s the purpose of a teaspoon rest? It must be the most unnecessary kitchen item invented 🤔

@PeaceLoveAndCandy

My whole family feels hugged....
What a gorgeous way of expressing your thanks OP.

@Sevensilverrings you are so talented and so kind. Bloody well done.

Whatamesssss · 23/02/2021 06:52

I had been looking for a teaspoon rest and gave up as they were all hideous.

These are a thing of beauty @Sevensilverrings Also want to be in the queue. The glass ones are stunning.

I too have the sugary mess left on the side and need these in my life. Also a tablespoon one would be great too.

I Bloody love Mumsnet

VonWeasel · 23/02/2021 05:14

What a wonderful thread to have come across. It has made me so happy Smile

Crockof · 23/02/2021 03:39

This thread has given me a hug when I needed it.

But what are yarn bowls?

Ninkanink · 23/02/2021 03:20

Also LOVE the idea of a stunt yarn bowl! 😁

Ninkanink · 23/02/2021 03:19

❤️❤️❤️ they are wonderful.

What a lovely, cosy thread. I feel a million times better now than I did earlier today.

May the spoon rests bring you much joy and peace in years to come, @PeaceLoveAndCandy. @Sevensilverrings May your kindness and generosity come back to you a hundredfold.

ColonelNobbyNobbs · 23/02/2021 01:06

😍😍😍

They are gorgeous. As is this thread!

(Also love the way there’s the few posters as usual who haven’t bothered reading thread and still recommending suggesting Dunelm etc.)

BluePeterVag · 23/02/2021 00:54

Absolutely stunning work @Sevensilverrings
This thread has warmed me cockles. I’ve had a day full of irritation and this has me all 🥲
I need these nesting spoon rests and I need a yarn bowl, even though I don’t use yarn. It would be like a stunt pineapple for when people come round (if ever we are allowed to this this again), I would leave out my yarn bowl so people think I’m creative Grin

ridingonaroomba · 20/02/2021 21:10

oh wow they’re beautiful @Sevensilverrings

Wigeon · 18/02/2021 20:36

How lovely! Thank you @Sevensilverrings for brightening up more people’s day than just the OP’s. And the teaspoon rests are really gorgeous.

FudgeSundae · 17/02/2021 16:24

This is the nicest thread and it has cheered me up on a miserable rainy locked down day and I DON’T EVEN DRINK TEA.

TipseyTorvey · 17/02/2021 16:07

Another one here who now wants a set. I've been using Gu ramekins for years but feel like they really aren't hugging my spoons correctly. Please set up on etsy ASAP! 😊

lotusbell · 17/02/2021 15:55

Those are stunning, the colours are beautiful!

JesusHRooseveltChristAgain · 17/02/2021 15:29

@PeaceLoveAndCandy I think I actually got a bit misty-eyed when I saw your update that the teaspoon rests arrived in their new home 😢 (but in a good way!) Thank you for starting such a heartwarming thread!

@Sevensilverrings - you are so talented! I'm glad this brought you as much joy as you have brought to so many others!

Five67Eight · 17/02/2021 15:26

Absolutely stunning! 💙

AlwaysLatte · 17/02/2021 15:25

I can understand a wooden spoon rest but why a teaspoon rest? Don't you put them straight in the dishwasher?

ChippyDucks150 · 17/02/2021 15:24

Oh my, this thread has been fantastic......and now I really really want my spoons to be hugged. I feel they are missing out.
