Independence Day

Independence Day, commonly known as the fourth of July for many is the day that we adopted the Declaration of Independence, thereby declaring our independence from Great Britain. It is a reason to celebrate! For some it becomes a long weekend of celebrating especially when the 4^th is on a Monday as it is this year.

With the extra time off there is bound to be fireworks, BBQ’s and picnics abounding. Burgers will be on the grill, green salads in the bowl and delicious pies lining the tables. I hope there are leftovers because Steve’s birthday is the next day.

One of the finest ways to present your guests all of these mouth watering treats is with a wooden utensil from us. Of course you know that it is all in the presentation. We have flippers, spatulas, slotted and unslotted spoons, salad sets and even a pie lifter for all those desserts. You know that you can never have enough desserts.

#226 Cherry Pie Lifter

SOLD

So start your weekend off with some good yummy food served with just the right size utensil hand carved from the artist Steve. That reminds me that I have to go out and weed the garden, pull some lettuce, beans and check on the potatoes. See you on Saturday at the Harrisonburg Farmers Market  from 7-1pm. Enjoy your weekend, celebrate your freedom.

National Salad Month

Did you know that May is National Salad Month? I didn’t until I started to write this story. Steve and I love salads and try as often as we can to enjoy eating them. The majority of our garden is planted and we have already enjoyed the lettuce and the radishes and look forward to incorporating more of the fresh veggies as the season progresses. We also love to get fresh food from the farmers market when we can. So do you enjoy salads? What kind and what do you put into your salad?

No matter what kind of salad you make it can become a labor of love when you reach for a favorite wooden utensil to stir or toss the ingredients. Steve has several custom-created utensils such as Spoons, pierced and slotted, with straight or arched handles, Salad sets, Icing Blades, Pie Lifters, Olive Scoops, Spurtles and more. The best utensil for the best job. All of these are hand carved from various woods and treated with food safe oil. They are easy to maintain by hand washing (easy for me as I never had a dishwasher) and then a quick towel dry.
