Loving Spoonful

Feeling clever, and kind of silly too, but I will let you be the judge of that. I found an ashtray, not that I have ever smoked, nor am I thinking to do so now, but I bought it anyway. I thought it was cute for Cassis, as it was of a fisherman.

Originally, I thought about nailing it above the entrance with thick nail heads. Though, as it sat on the kitchen counter another idea popped into my head, "A spoon rest!" It is indeed a perfect spoon rest.

Where the cigarette use to rest now a wooden handle takes it place. I wonder what that fisherman thinks? If he says he misses the cigs, no more loving spoonfuls for him.

  1. I bought a bronze antique ashtray with a three dimensional tiger on it years ago, even though I have never smoked. It is just so pretty. Now, thanks to your idea, it will be used as a spoon rest!

  2. A much better use for it than an ashtray.

  3. What a clever idea. I will look at ashtrays a bit different in the future.

  4. Farmboy Husband has a huge clear glass ashtray that enjoyed a second life as the repository for his pennies, when he’d empty his pockets when he got home each evening.

    Great idea! I can’t remember the last time I saw an ashtray. Although I do remember that they were everywhere in the 1960s.

  6. It’s really beautiful, I can see why you were attracted to it. Love re-purposing, great idea.

  7. Love it, another black accent. I have a copper collared one, w a raised image like yours. Mine is of t Eiffel Tower, it was my grandfathers. I use it in my studio for push pins.

    I use my mother’s Lalique cigarette holder from the 1960’s for toothpicks 😉

    I use a small Quimper ashtray for used tea bags when my friends come to visit.

  11. You are always so cleverly creative! Love that…

    We have a set of round crystal ashtrays that we use as coasters to protect the wood table top. Fun to find alternative uses. The fisherman is smiling at you.

  13. I’m going to steal your idea….thank you.
