Does anyone here collect spoons? I'm not talking the cutlery kind. I'm referring to those small spoons you buy at gift or airport shops and hang on a spoon rack to remember places you've been.

No one?
Ok, let me rephrase this.
Spoon collecting was forced upon me and as a result I have a wall plaque in the shape of a crest, filled with spoons from all over the world. I've never had a place for it on a wall, so for years it was on a wall hidden by a cupboard. In my new apartment, there are no available walls in the kitchen to put things up, so I want to get rid of these.
If anyone here collects spoons, or wants to start, let me know. I would be glad to package it up and send it to you. I'll even pay the postage.

What a nice thing to do! My mother had some collector-type spoons, but I don't know what happened to them.
My mother did, she had a huge collection, which my sister now has. I don't know if she would want additional spoons, but I could ask her if you don't find any other takers.

I can't remember where they are all from. A friend of mine saw that I had a single spoon on a spoon rack so she made it her mission to get one for me when she traveled around the world. I have spoons from Hawaii, Japan, Australia and about 30 other places.
I'd like them to go to someone who will display them and get some enjoyment from them.
I don't have anywhere to keep the rack and it's just been laying on a counter collecting dust for the last 18 months, and I want my counter space back.

My sister - in - law has loads but she doesn't display them in a rack: they have them in a nice little tankard on their coffee table and use them which I think is a lovely idea. It doesn't take up the space like a display cabinet so may be then you could keep them?
Or can you get a display rack that you can mount on your wall? I have my thimble collection mounted that way, takes up no space at all and they look nice.

I do have a rack, but I don't have any place to put. There are no kitchen walls in my apartment, only under counter back splash.
I'll try advertising on one of the local sites where I live. There must be someone who collects these types of spoons.
This weekend I'll polish up the spoons and wash the rack and take a picture of it.
I don't collect those spoons but my mother does she has a rack for them too.

I am at work and can't seem to get to the Private Message area. Please send me a PM with your address and I'll mail the rack and spoons to you. I'll pay for the shipping.
ok I'll send u the address. I appreciate it very much.
My family did for years. What happened to that collection I'll never know. I've got a bell collection going now., including all but maybe 8 states. Spoon collecting is a lost art

I got my first spoon in 1955 from my Aunt Patty. Now I have several hundred beautiful spoons. I would be very happy to give your spoons a good home. Let me know if they are still available, and thank you!
