A Silverspoon Tree...Great idea!

I just ran across an awesome tree idea, thanks to a friend on MHH.  I didn't put my mini tree up this year, because I was rather bored with it  and wanted to try something different. Instead I bought these two trees from Target.

I absolutely love the idea of a spoon tree in my dining room. 
At The Inspired Room Blog  she has the best idea for those with a spoon collection or those wanting to use old silver they might have from heirlooms. 

 As you can see, I definitely have my share of Sterling Silver from various family members over the years. With a little silver polish, everything will be sparkly and ready to put on the tree. I won't do it this year, but it's definitely going on my To-Do list for next year.

While talking about forks and spoons, I'll share this recipe card holder with you. It's a super, simple gift to make for those special cooks in your life.

The Homebody Site  also has a variation of this same idea. 

They have also used it for a picture frame.
