“Cheeky and quirky handstamped spoons for all occasions!”
Since I've now got to the age where I'd rather act my shoe size, I've added a new collection 'Growing Old Disgracefully' to the shop. Some are funny, some are rude, some are philosophical, anyway I hope they make you smile and think of someone to give them to.
Also there is a collection of naturist spoons (I think I'm unique in catering to this particular niche in the flatware market) and plenty of plant labels to brighten up your spring planting. Have fun browsing and do drop me a message if there's something in particular you'd like to see on a spoon...

I began upcycling vintage spoons in 2016 when I was asked to make a series of food-/kitchen-related wind chimes for a multi-media art installation with a Dada theme. I wanted a permanent way to add words, did some research and discovered metal stamping. Bought an alphabet set and picked up some old spoons at a boot sale, had a go and was instantly hooked! I've now built up a collection of vintage and even antique stamping dies in many different sizes and of course I have boxes and boxes of spoons in my workshop... it is my mission to save as many as possible from winding up in landfill. If they're too battered to use as actual spoons, they get hung on wind chimes instead.
Each letter is separately hammered into each spoon, so every spoon I make is unique. I don't flatten, bend or drill them - I like to preserve as much as possible of their original character. My spoons are vintage and pre-owned and their imperfections are part of their charm. (I always try to be honest and show you the flaws, wear marks and tarnish in my photos as well as the lovely period details!)
A lot of my spoons are unashamedly rude, because naughty words make me giggle and there is an especial deliciousness about putting very rude language on a very 'prim and proper' Victorian spoon. It can also be very therapeutic to have a good swear and there's even a word for the wonderful feeling of release when you do: 'Lalochesia'. One day I'll put that on a spoon too.

Lovely butter spreaders - this was a custom order after I spotted a similar butter knife on Looney Spoon's social media page. The seller searched through their stock of vintage knives and sent me photos of some she thought might be suitable, so I was able to choose my own pieces as well as the words to put on them.
They are really cute. The larger round bladed one has gone to my Dad as a fun little present, and I kept the dainty pointy one. It's already been christened with butter...... and jam.
Thank you so much
