Everyone around me seems to be having babies. Paired with the arrival of the very pretty collector's edition of "Baby 2 Bride" from Graphic 45 in my mailbox... well a baby themed something or other was inevitable.
Silver spoons have long been a traditional baby gift, often given as a Christening present. For some, the silver spoon was the first in a set of cutlery and other household items that would be accumulated as gifts over the years and given to the child when he/she left home.
For others still it may be given as a symbol of wealth or as a single precious gift. A keepsake.
I've surrounded it with fussy cut butterflies from Time to Celebrate: Party Perfect
and Let's Get Together with snippets of Tresors de Luxe lace and flowers.
A tiny pink bow and tag finish it off.

Hi Nichola, Sorry for my lack of posting comments to your Blog, I have been away for awhile with various health issues. But I have to say every chance I would get I would frequent your Blog as I am always brought to a happy place in my mind and heart when I see all your beautiful pieces of Artwork. The Silver Spoon really touched me as I am a new grandmother to a beautiful baby boy my first grandson. Again your talent is amazing and I absolutely adore your work. Thank you so much for all that you do and share with all of us.
