I ...I've been a long time reader of your blog. I remember seeing this post about the giant forks and spoons back when you posted it. Ever since then, I've sort of kept an eye out for them at garage sales. So, you can imagine my excitement when I found a set at a garage sale today for $2.50! When I returned home with them, I looked up this post, again, and was delightfully surprised to see that the set that I bought is the exact set in Craig and Theresa Smith's kitchen! <br /><br />Thank you so much for the creative and inspirational ideas you share daily with your readers. I can never tell you how much you have inspired me when it comes to decorating my house. You have helped me gain a better attitude about my house and helped me turn it into a warmer, inviting home for my family. Thank you!!<br /><br />NickiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10132521302530918855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-86819455476517615992009-06-29T19:00:24.922-05:002009-06-29T19:00:24.922-05:00Hey girl!

I am probably going to spray paint them black and hang them in my kitchen. If you have a chance look at my blog tomorrow and if you would like to leave your opinion on what I should do with them - I would love to hear....I found lots of goodies and will post them tomorrow.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00665679857130111215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-71031027827814248052009-05-18T15:29:00.000-05:002009-05-18T15:29:00.000-05:00whoa.. love the giant utensils. great find.whoa.. love the giant utensils. great find.Hena Tayebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15419428884435062756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-58826968593649274582009-05-17T21:07:00.000-05:002009-05-17T21:07:00.000-05:00oh how funny!

My name is Marfa and I found your blog via another blog (can't remember which one right now) although its one of my favorites as well...lol Anyway, I wanted to tell you that you love any kind of kitchen decor that has to do with utensils. My friend's kitchen cabinet doorknobs were tiny utensils and I loved them. I also remember when I was a kid back in the early 80s my aunt had a huge spoon and fork on her Family Room wall. She had two dining sets, so one of them was in the Family Room and that's where the family always gathered for parties and such. For some reason though, I seem to remember her set being made of wicker instead of wood, but I could be wrong. Anyway, I love your blog and I have your set up as a favorite. I also receive your posts as Feed in my email everyday. So even if I don't comment often, I read you all the time. So it was about time that I actually introduced myself to you.Marfa (formula for a life)http://www.formulaforalife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-78251031672583750892009-05-17T10:49:00.000-05:002009-05-17T10:49:00.000-05:00that last picture is just too funny, really great!...that last picture is just too funny, really great!Hudson Goodshttp://stores.homestead.com/hudsongoods/StoreFront.boknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-3827670256442612802009-05-17T10:10:00.000-05:002009-05-17T10:10:00.000-05:00I can't believe they would sell for that much!

I spotted a shapely cast aluminum set of fork & spoon. They were about 18" long with really nice patina. They were $2.95 each. It was almost closing time on a Saturday and I was hurrying so they could close up and go home. I got sidetracked and left without getting them. Went back first thing on Monday and they were GONE!!!! Not the first time this has happened! <br /><br />Gotta slow down and if it feels impulsively "right", grab it and don't let go!!!!<br /><br />Keep up the inspiration.....<br /><br />Later gator!Tina Schieferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018142376517882804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-71264383056223066182009-05-15T10:01:00.000-05:002009-05-15T10:01:00.000-05:00hilarious photo!hilarious photo!Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629347779737137237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-41915311645034676372009-05-15T09:51:00.000-05:002009-05-15T09:51:00.000-05:00Great ideas on your blog!Great ideas on your blog!Little Birdie Secretshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07618255906575437380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615489442416541414.post-90429379915748938582009-05-15T09:48:00.000-05:002009-05-15T09:48:00.000-05:00Now that was a great find Layla!
