Mmm... now I need a teaspoon rest (nested, natch) and a wooden spoon rest to match / co-ordinate.

Awaiting sevensilverrings shop with anticipation.

Juniper68 · 13/02/2021 11:09

I would buy one off seven.

Lovely thread Smile

@Sevensilverrings these teaspoon rests are the kind of thing my SIL and MIL would like so adding my request to the list for an Etsy shop link if you set one up please Brew

What a bloody lovely thread. Who knew I could get emotional about teaspoon rests.

@Sevensilverrings adding my voice to the let us know if you ever set up an Etsy store list! You are so talented.

We just have a chopping board from Ikea with a ridge around the edges to catch any spills. We put a saved GU pot on it for tea bags and just chuck the teaspoon on the board.

Oh my, this has warmed my heart! Thank you so much OP and Sevensilverrings!

InFiveMins · 12/02/2021 19:17

I've seen them in Dunelm before although the designs were quite plain from memory.

Amiable · 12/02/2021 19:16

Fab thread! And @Sevensilverrings , you DEFINITELY need to get a shop and sell these! I bloody love them!

MistleTOEboughski · 12/02/2021 19:03

Wow they are beautiful! I take back my comment about licking the spoon. OP please post a photo of them in their new home.

ZombiePara · 12/02/2021 19:01

Another vote here @Sevensilverrings for setting up an etsy shop when you feel good and ready to - I will dutifully take my place in the queue!

JewelTheft · 12/02/2021 18:54

Such beautiful objects, and a lovely thing to do sevensilverings

I'd definitely buy one if you ever go into production. And please can I also go in the queue for yarn bowls!

DragonPoop · 12/02/2021 18:49

I’ve seen them in home bargains and b&m

Notverygrownup · 12/02/2021 18:47

Now smiling at the idea of a suspicious couch - Tsukumogami style of course - being reassured by a small child, before you can get to the post office. Smile

Pandoraslastchance · 12/02/2021 18:45

Maybe the fact that I don't have a nice fancy teaspoon rest is why my teaspoons go missing. They are clearly running away to someones house who has a pretty teaspoon rest.

Sevensilverrings · 12/02/2021 18:41

Slight delay due to middle child developing suspicious couch. Not Covid.. phew! In post on Monday.
I love that this has brought some joy. Its really cheered me up too, so thankyou! Flowers

EarringsandLipstick · 12/02/2021 18:32

What a lovely thread. @Sevensilverrings you're an absolute ✨

Enjoy @PeaceLoveAndCandy

Looking forward to seeing the photo when they arrive!

SingToTheSky · 12/02/2021 18:32

Wow. There was I, assuming a thread about something as mundane as a teaspoon rest could only be in classics because of pithy comments. But no. It’s just LOVELINESS.

The finished products are absolutely stunning. How lovely that you are getting back behind the wheel - I can relate to how good it feels to get your craft or hobby back after having to take a break. 💖

lazylinguist · 12/02/2021 18:12

Same here, Frenchfancy! What a lovely thread, and what beautiful teaspoon rests, Sevensilverrings. I'm slightly embarrassed to say that in spite of being a major tea fan, I wasn't really familiar with teaspoon rests, and so didn't realise that one of the lovely little dishes my very good but amateur potter FIL made us is in fact a teaspoon rest! Getting it out to put next to the kettle right now. Smile

Oh and yy to the yarn bowls. I have a wooden one but it's not big enough for a big ball of yarn. I'd love a pottery one.

Frenchfancy · 12/02/2021 17:45

Just been reading this in classics, wondering why a teaspoon needing a stand could be in classics. Now I understand. MN at its best.

Aw! We love a happy ending, especially when it involves pottery and tea. We're going to move this to Classics for posterity.

DeeThree · 09/02/2021 23:05

They are stunning @Sevensilverrings, you are wonderfully talented & also very kind hearted!
Enjoy your new teaspoon rests @PeaceLoveAndCandy & thank you for starting such a wonderful thread! I agree with the Classics nomination, it's everything that is great about MN.

Redshoeblueshoe · 08/02/2021 17:58

Wow they are beautiful

Andrew2020 · 08/02/2021 17:52

Wow, the navy blue one is absolutely gorgeous!! They’re all so pretty. Well done, you are so talented and kind

Frownette · 08/02/2021 14:58
