Honey I’m Home: Part I

That’s what my sweet husband heard after I returned from an afternoon spent with my dear friend, Shea. Being two crafty divas, we decided to check out the American Craft Council Show held at the Cobb Galleria this past weekend.  While I must admit much of the art was a little (err… a lot) out of our price range, we happened to find a couple of vendors that were more our style and definitely sized more for our pockets.

I bought an adorable scarf (which I will share soon) from Miss Fitts and Shea introduced me to another great seller, Jonathan’s Wild Cherry Spoons.

Little bit about Jonathan…

“It was time for lunch but I had no spoon for my soup. I worked in a custom furniture shop and there was plenty of wood around so I made my first spoon and ate my soup. Wooden spoons have served me ever since, as I continue to create from a serendipity of need.” 

This man has hand carved a utensil for every possible need you can imagine: ladles, serving spoons, tongs, pickle forks, spaghetti fork, spatulas, spreaders, whisks, coffee scoop, honey stick, jelly spoon, sugar spoon, marmalade spoon, spoodle, mixing paddle, oven rack puller, pot strainer, chop sticks and toaster tongs (just to name a few). The only problem was deciding which one was coming home with me!

The first one was obvious because it was just so darn cute – the honey stick.
The second one was more out of necessity – the spaghetti fork/salad set combo.

So last night, when Mr. Blue Eyed Yonder walked in the door with “Honey I’m Home”, I had a delicious Italian meal prepared with none other than my Jonathan’s Wild Cherry utensils. (Loving them.)

Buttery saute of a variety of fresh mushrooms for a creamy mushroom dressing.
Oil base for the mushroom dressing: olive oil and course ground salt & pepper.
Tender leaves of butter lettuce tossed with shaved sarvecchio parmesan cheese.
Of course it wouldn’t be Italian without the wine – Redtree Pinot Nior
Here’s “Frida” the spaghetti fork in action.

Stay tuned for more lovely photos featuring my adorable new wooden honey stick. Until then…arrivederci!

    Delish! Can you come over and prepare this for me tonight? It looks like the pasta fork works well!

    Honey, can you come to my house? I LOVE mushrooms & that meal looks very tasty! I have a cute little Jonathan's spoon for dips & I just love it. I'll have to look into that spaghetti/salad combo. We eat lots of salad & pasta in our house. It's a favorite.
