I had never heard of spooners until you wrote about them. My Grandma (who was from Wisconsin) never used one. Never seen anyone out here use them. Grandma made Mom seven days a week dishtowels. She used the fabric paint pens for them, but they were the classic embroidery designs.
ReplyDeleteI love all the ideas.....I have spooners, but use a small vase as a spooner mostly! I have a well used Searchlight recipe book left to me by my Mother. Love aprons...& I'm still searching for my Featherweight!
