Due to the fact that we have been a rather mobile family (our oldest has moved six times in his six short years of life), we have not had the chance to really collect much (sadly) but our migratory days should be behind us and it is nice to start collecting bits and bobs.
This little trio was a gift from grandma and are used by the children for personal maple syrup pouring convenience. Handy too because we can be sure they each only consume about a tablespoon or two at a go... (its the real deal here and I view it like gold)
As my sister over at Ten Finger workshop knows.. takes a whole lot a trees to make just a pint of the magic stuff!

I havn't collected much either because of the same reason as you. Like that the cute little porcelain animals serve a purpose :)
ReplyDeleteI love these!!! I have a white cow and can see myself slipping into collecting these for sure... oh and using them for syrup is such a great idea. I am going to try this next time I indulge in a stack of pancakes! xo
ReplyDeleteWe shouldn't have collected lots of stuff when on our travels but that didn't stop us!! We now have a few 'drawers of random things'...chris is waaay worse than me at hoarding so we really have a load of stuff that we dont need!!
