I just have to share!  I went to a swap meet with my husband, Ray, a couple of weekends ago.  This is what I came home with:

 

38 sterling silver spoons! :)  I definitely have my work cut out for me (no pun intended)! ;)  This photo was taken with my cell phone, so please excuse the quality! I've already started annealing and hammering out several of the spoons...will start drawing trees this evening and hopefully will start to saw some of them out tomorrow...I've got to have some inventory ready for the Blue Light Special Art Show in Leeds, AL next weekend! I'll update with some photos of a few finished pieces next week! ;)
