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!

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!

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.

Amiable · 12/02/2021 19:16

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

InFiveMins · 12/02/2021 19:17

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

bearlyactive · 12/02/2021 19:18

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

LemonSwan · 12/02/2021 19:20

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.

Ostryga · 12/02/2021 19:28

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.

NoGoodPunsLeft · 13/02/2021 07:22

@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

Juniper68 · 13/02/2021 11:09

I would buy one off seven.

Lovely thread Smile

ThinkWittyThoughts · 13/02/2021 22:59

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

Awaiting sevensilverrings shop with anticipation.

yellowstoneranch · 17/02/2021 09:14

OP - are you my twin ? No-one else I know knows what I am on about or uses these, I've had a little teapot shaped bowl thingy for my spoons for years and mostly my mother used them for the actual teabags (and made a right mess!) and chucks the spoon in the bottom of the sink!

Sevensilverrings ... yes please, add me too if you decide to make up an etsy shop, I'd be very interested in some pottery bits, that blue glaze is just perfect for us

Nowisthemonthofmaying · 17/02/2021 09:21

Another vote for the Etsy shop here - my DH was just saying this morning that he needed a spoon rest and then this thread popped up! I would gladly buy a set, they are beautiful.

CoastAlong · 17/02/2021 09:23

What a wonderful thread. How generous of you @Sevensilverrings. I would love to see the other things you make. Please please set up an ETSY shop!

Roystonv · 17/02/2021 09:36

So glad I found this thread and love how it grew from a mundane ? to one about making the world a nicer place. Beautiful pieces.

SavoyCabbage · 17/02/2021 09:50

What a fabulous thread. Sometimes when I want to feel like the world is a good place I re-read the Elderly Korean Lady thread and this has the same calm heartwarming feeling.

Subeccoo · 17/02/2021 12:36

Really really enjoyed this, they'd go so well in my kitchen too Blush

RobBeckettsTeeth · 17/02/2021 13:12

[quote Sevensilverrings]@PeaceLoveAndCandy, Kiln had been emptied, so here’s the results. The glass has made the glaze a little darker than I’d hoped, but nothing broken, which is always good!
I don’t know if you’d prefer the set of three or a couple of the other ones that fit together but not as snuggly? Let me know and I’ll pop them in the post for you! Thanks for giving me a fun distraction![/quote]
These are so beautiful. I love the glass bottoms. If you ever feel like selling them I'd love to buy one from you

PeaceLoveAndCandy · 17/02/2021 13:14

Well everyone, the moment of truth has come. I am speechless, so I'll just leave this here for now.
@Sevensilverrings, you are the sort of whimsical kind artist the world needs more of, so your Etsy shop must happen for health reasons.

They are beautiful. I hope your teaspoon is suitably hugged!

My whole family feels hugged....
