A few years ago, I bought this sweet set of measuring spoons while on vacation. A glistening silver set of a "dash," a "pinch," and a "smidgen." They came with a hook for hanging. When we returned home, and I planned to hang the spoons, I soon realized that the hook did not properly account for the thickness of the spoons, and would not allow them to hang flat against one another. Fail.
Now, I had three little spoons with awkward hanging holes at the top -- and no way to hang them, or keep them together as a set. Enter Pinterest (of course). I spotted a sweet set of measuring spoons from a popular store. The spoons were held together with what looked like a kilt pin. Do you know what I'm talking about? (As a little girl, I had a plaid wool wrap-skirt with just such a pin. Gotta say -- it was an awesome favorite of mine.) So, I started googling kilt pins -- and speaking of awesome... um, yeah. If you're a seriously kilt-er, you can pay a hefty price for your pin! Just sayin.
Maybe I was on the wrong path for my little spoons? Afterall, I wasn't looking to spend a lot of money for this little fix. And then...an idea. I wish I could tell you where this idea came from. I don't even remember now...
A stitch holder! Found in the crocheting/knitting section at JoAnn Fabrics. For a mere dollar or two, I had my solution!
I love a good solution to a problem.
Shop update~ Coming soon: sets of notecards w/ 5 of the same photo (as opposed to an assortment). Also, I am glad to take custom orders for sets of 5, using any photos you see in my Etsy shop. Just message me to work out the details.
I need to take a picture of my work board and show my organization for the year in my department. But I love the little hook!!!
