As a toddler, my husband received this silver fork and spoon from his grandparents. His name is engraved on the handles. Rather than let the pieces languish in a drawer, I found a shadowbox, covered the back with coffee-coloured moiré fabric and mounted the cutlery with a little hot glue.
I'm all for simple and this is it. Hanging on the dining room wall next to a framed piece of tatting, this speaks to me of family, of heritage and of beloved people passed into the next life.
What a nice idea and the cherry blossom is gorgious.

ReplyDeleteYour spoon and fork are so precious. I did the same thing for each of my children with their silverware. Theirs had their name on the handles. I also put a picture of them in the high chair eating spaghetti! Both of them loved it. I love the items made with heirloom stuff!
ReplyDeleteGood for you :) There are a few things I should be taking out of drawers and putting on display too
ReplyDeleteThe knife and fork mounted is the most precious thing I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing your idea. xxoo
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous idea! I love it! I see some version of this in my future!
