Some collect spoons, others make jewellery from them, like Miss Tory Bauer. The Spooning Society takes spoons from the cupboards of grandmothers and collectors across the globe and turns them into beautiful bracelets, earrings and necklaces.

it's sew easy

Sometimes I can’t believe the radness you can get on eBay. I was sure I was going
to get into some kind of horrid bidding war on this one – a vintage Hasbro Sew Easy
play sewing machine with, according to the listing, ‘real clickety clack’ sounds.
But happily not, and now it’s safely in the arms of my little niece, Teak. We gave
it to her and within two minutes she was already feeding her blankie through,
and then bits of paper. Thank you, eBay!
