Intro
You guys let me first get this out; I have no recipe today. It’s sort of ridiculous how guilty I feel about this BUT I’m still really excited about what I DO have: LINKS!
These are special links. Links to places, products and people that I’ve found, tried and loved so much that I wanted to tell you about them. One of the perks of this crazy job is that I get to try a lot of products that people really want me to tell you about but I don’t talk about them much because I don’t want to seem like a sales person, I don’t want to assume that just because I like you’re going to too or sometimes there’s just not a lot of reason to talk about it. But then there are some things that are just too good that I feel wrong keeping it to myself. There are products out there that need to shared and enjoyed by more than just my little family.
The other part of this, in all honesty, is that I just started a small business. The kind where I hope people buy it, like it and want to tell people about it so my empathy for these companies has grown tremendously and I understand that to them; whatever they are making, is more than just the thing itself, it’s a part of them. The creators of these things (I’ll get to it real soon) are so proud of what they are creating, I consider it an honor and joy to have this space to share them with you all.
So first up let’s talk about Earlywood. Brad first sent me his wooden kitchen tools earlier this summer and I have been using them every day ever since. I’m weak for a good wooden spoon. They are what I collect on my travels and his are especially beautiful (the wood, the deep bowl, the smooth lines!) but what I really really love are the wooden spatulas. Wooden spatulas! The design is so simple, so clean and yet it is one of the most functional and practical tools I have in my kitchen right now.
*A winner has been contacted. Thanks for entering!
Guess what?! Brad wants one of you to have a collection of his incredible products for yourself. He is giving away:
1 Medium Classic Ladle
1 Long Server
1 Mini Ironwood cutting board set
1 Trifecta
1 set of 4 Small Spreaders
ย
Just leave a comment below to enter and then after that be sure to check out his site and Facebook page. I’ll select a winner next Wednesday, October 8.
Next up, Quinn Popcorn. I love popcorn, a lot. But what excited me most about trying this product was the story of how it began. A young mom with a five day old baby boy named Quinn decided that it was time to clean up her popcorn. Mom’s are so awesome. It was a long, complicated process and she delved deep into the scary world of the food industry but what came from it is seriously the most amazing microwave butter popcorn I’ve ever had.
Quinn makes already popped and microwave popcorn in flavors like Kale & Sea Salt, Hickory Smoked Cheddar, Vermont Maple and Sea Salt (the favorite among my littles) and Butter & Sea Salt. The crazy thing is is that it’s actually butter in the mix. Somehow they’ve managed to dry hormone free butter, mix it with salt and then make the world’s most amazing popcorn. You just microwave, sprinkle then shake.
I told them in an email that I’m a little upset that they introduced me to their popcorn because now it’s all I want, everyday.
Okay, this post is getting out of hand. There are so many more to mention. I’ll try a be a bit quicker.
This tea has been helping me get to a healthier place. While I’ve still eaten ice cream everyday for the past week I still think it’s doing a good work. But the thing with Bliss Teas is that they taste great so while there’s all these amazing ingredients in them that are great for you I really just love to drink it because it tastes amazing.
Some sweet friends started this amazing line of kid’s t-shirts and sweatshirts with serious style.
Need salt? Of course you do. The Meadow has them all.
Still lamenting the fact that there was so recipe here? Check out this one and this one.
Finally, if you have any interest in hearing me gush about Seattle then check out this interview I did with Global Yodel and Visit Seattle. I really do love my city.
The Earlywood pieces would look just fantastic in my imaginary kitchen in Provence next to my imaginary collection of copper pots… Please please pick me!!!!!!
Those beautiful wooden kitchen essentials are making me swoon!
These utensils are elegant, beautiful and look like they’d fit beautiful into my hand!
Sorry–beautifully!
Thanks for sharing these links! Those wooden spoons look gorgeous–would love to use them in my kitchen! Also, your cookie mix makes the best chocolate cookies ever. Absolutely wonderful.
Love the simplicity and beauty in the natural design. A back-to-basics approach that’s so much more!
These are so, so gorgeous. And the flat saute? What a concept!
Awesome tools.
Gorgeous wooden utensils to ogle, then luscious chocolate chip cookies to tempt, followed by a heaping bowl of popcorn. If I wasn’t hungry before, I am now!
I just checked out Earlywood’s website and I am hankering for the mini cutting boards and saute spatulas that I could use nearly every day.
All that wooden-ware is a fabulous gift. Thank you for sharing this offer.
Oh dear god I would love those wooden spoons. I too can’t resist
Thanks for all of the links, especially Earlywood! I’m checking out every single one, and now I’m getting all of my Christmas shopping done very early.
Best wishes on your business!
I love the wooden kitchen tools!
While I do miss not having a recipe, those wooden utensils are amazing. They would make my efforts to banish plastic from my kitchen so much easier.
Those utensils look incredible!
Looking at that popcorn makes me want to buy a microwave too!
The wooden spoons are beautiful! And I love this post, despite the lack of recipe.
I am obsessed with wooden spoons. Right now I am hiding a recent purchase in my office, lest my boyfriend think I’ve gone insane…
Ohhhh Earlywood! I’m in love! Those are some seriously gorgeous pieces – I just love beautiful colors in wood.
I do love to see pieces of art made out of wood that you can use in your kitchen everyday.
gorgeous spoons!!
Wood love to be the winner of your wooden kitchen tools.
I love wooden spoons!
such beautiful wooden utensils. I so much prefer using wood over plastic. pick me!
beautiful wooden utensils make cooking and baking so much more fun. thanks for the post even without your recipe
Oh my, I get weak in the knees for wooden utensils and dishes, too. Love those – I had checked out that website before, can’t remember who but someone else with a cooking blog mentioned them. Would adore a set, so keeping my fingers crossed! lol
And just so you’ll know, I love posts that point to other products and foods my favorite bloggers love. So you are good. Do it again sometime!
Recipe or no recipeโeverything’s lovely as per usual. I’d love to work some wooden spoons into my repertoire.
All the pretty things! Would love some more wooden spoons for the collection
Beautiful utensils make food taste even better.
Those Earlywood pieces are stunning! I’m bookmarking as an anniversary gift.
My husband is a wood spoon fanatic. His parents and grandparents all have beautiful old wooden spoons in their kitchens, and we have a few of our own. He has been known to sand them gently when need be, and oil them when they become dried out. I tease him, but actually think its sweet that he has such a fondness for wooden utensils. They are so lovely perched in a vase next to the stove. It would be so nice to upgrade our discount store wooden utensils for these beautiful, handmade versions.
The wooden utensils are so lovely. They’ll make any kitchen chore more enjoyable! And that popcorn looks delightful.
thesemare incredibly beautiful!
These are truly beautiful!
The wooden spoons look beautiful and so organic. Love them and would love to get some.
I absolutely love the Earlywood wooden utensils. No kitchen is complete without a set of wood utensils. Wood speaks of enduring quality. In my opinion, even the simplest wood utensils are world’s better than the plastic, nylon and silicone ones propagating in kitchens everywhere today. To be honest, I don’t totally trust plastic, nylon or silicone coming into contact with the food I prepare and eat. Years ago I heard of how plastic “out-gasses” and if someone is sensitive to chemical fumes it they should avoid it. So many things are wrapped in, stored it, cooked in and even served on plastic nowadays. How on earth can one avoid it?! It’s truly sad. But wood utensils are a good beginning. I say, Right On! I hope they sell like hotcakes – and I would dearly love to win one. Thanks for the opportunity.
Those are some delicious looking cookies, and some really beautiful utensils!
My boyfriend has a collection of wooden spatulas that his grandfather made with Arbutus wood from their property, he loves them so much we don’t even use them! They are so beautiful, but it would be wonderful to have a few that were practical as well! Gorgeous post.
those spoons! so pretty. and really, those cookies are beautiful too ๐
I would love to own this set! You can tell the love and care that was put into them. Beautiful!
I love the Trifecta – I could see that as a perfect wedding/housewarming gift!
Beautiful wooden utensils and nice post
I too am a fan of a good wooden utensil!
Such gorgeous work! I wish I could buy it all.
Love those little wooden tools!
Oh wow, those are beautiful.
Thanks so much for linking to our Shop! ๐ You are the sweetest… and make a darn good batch of cookies ๐ (among everything else you are wonderful at Ashley.)
Great idea. I love supporting small businesses–and now I’m hungry for popcorn. ๐
Sooooo gorgeous. They would be a fabulous gift!!!!
I love wooden anything. My mamma passed away and she had this wooden spatula I use every day.It is really wearing and I’m afraid to lose it — I’ve been looking for some good wooden cooking tools.
Great links! The popcorn makes me wish I had a microwave…but I guess I’ll have to stick with my own stove-popping.
Gorgeous wooden utensils too! I think those will be really lovely gifts, so I’ll have to get some soon for Christmas.
Thanx for Earlywood link.
These look uber-good, not just for looks, but high function.
I really appreciate my silicone “spoonula”, AND–
nothing beats the feel of a realy good wood kitchen utensil.
I’ve been looking for handmade wooden utensils for a long time now – what wonderful work Brad does at Earlywood! I also just moved to Seattle and am so excited to read about your recommendations – I joke that I moved here from the East Coast for the food, but then I realized it not even really a joke. Congratulations on your new shop too!
Gorgeous wooden utensils and I can’t wait to check out this popcorn! Great links!
What a lovely giveaway! I’ve heard amazing things about Quinn’s so I *really* need to get my butt in gear and pick some up for our next stay at home movie night!
The wooden utensils are beautiful. Thanks for introducing us to these makers!
I love the wooden utensils made by Earlywood. I just had a baby and noticed that Earlywood makes baby and toddler spoons! I love to cook and would love to win the set of tools being given away so that my baby girl and I can cook together with them ๐
love his work! I’m on the lookout to replenish my wooden spoons. They have had it. I also plan on taking care of them with a homemade wood butter when I acquire more!
I love wooden spoons!!
Love wooden utensils for cooking. They’re my favorite go to tool in the kitchen.
Those are beautiful! Such seemingly simple tools, but what a difference it can make when they are made with love.
All of those tools are so beautiful! You have to love wood. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
The wooden kitchen utensils are amazing!
WOOD! My dad is a woodworker but he mostly makes furniture. If I don’t win I might need to convince him to try spoons. Gorgeous.
Yay! Beautiful wooden spoons!
A wooden spatula?! I’m sold! Even if I don’t win I need one of those. It’ll lift cookies and flip grilled cheese? So need that!
The wooden spatulas and the toddler spoon are now on my wish list!
Love those gorgeous spatulas!
Beautiful wooden spoons!!
Omg, the wooden utensils are so gorgeous! (:
Brad’s utensils are really lovely. The link to your small business doesn’t work….just get a 404 message. But I’m curious, and will check back later to see if it has been fixed and take a look.
Thank you for the links! Loving the Earlywood site and just bookmarked it – the spreaders (and maybe a ladle) are going to have a home in my kitchen soon!
Beautiful. Thank you.
Oh these look amazing!
I love wooden utensils!
wood love some earlywood!
Those are beautiful spoons. I love that they have a deep bowl. My wooden spoons are almost flat and are not good for serving utensils. These would make beautiful serving utensils.
Love wood utensils and mine are showing a lot of “love”. It would be great to get replacements. Will have to start my Christmas list if I don’t win….
I love wooden utensils! But I’ve never tried a wooden spatula–might have to get one of those.
The Earlywood products are so beautiful, and I’m really interested in trying the teas you recommended. Thanks for the list!
beautiful1
I think some ofhe Earlywood gorgeousness needs to make it’s way to Ausstralia and into my kitchen.
I love the wooden utensils – and would love to share them with my bro-in-law who would love them too!
you should never feel bad when you tell us about these kind of makers and goods. it is a great thing!
I search out bloggers who recommend things for me to try from people and companies I have not heard of.
when I was looking to buy a new chef knife I read a lot of my favorite blogs to find the best small scale producers. for the sharpest workhorse of a chefs knife (that I could afford) it’s a Schmidt brother’s knife and I LOVE it!
it helps the little guys get the word out.
if you were telling us bout Annie’s mac and cheese, well that’s different. they are good but don’t need help getting their product out there.
tell us more about small producers of very cool things that you like.
we, and they, will thank you!
and may I say, how lucky that you get cool free stuff! NO FAIR!:)
Who doesn’t love a link post? Those gorgeous utensils remind me of the interview I recently did with stylist/photographer Kara Rosenlund for The Kitchenet. She has SO MANY wooden spoons, but her favourite was a beautiful old bentwood one.
The Earlywood ladle looks amazing. I would love to have some pieces in the kitchen that aren’t plastic!
The cookies have woken a barely hidden craving! Of course, the spatula is lovely as well, but more immediately I need to go bake. ๐
I love wooden spoons so much. I’m moved by the deep wood as well. I am so excited to see you do a post on Earlywood!! I bought my mom, step mom, and grandma spoons and spatulas for them for xmas 2 years ago. Now whenever I go home I love using them. I must pick up some for myself! They are amazing, and all different sizes. Yay!
I love the ladle especially!
Yes please to the spoons, and no worries at all about the super useful post. Thanks!
What beautiful wooden kitchen tools!
Well, those spoons are just adorable! And I will definitely check out the popcorn and tea. (Oh let’s be honest, I’ll be clicking on all of it!)
Congrats!
FYI, the link to your shop 404s – I think you need to make sure to add http:// to the front of it. ๐

We use iSi, we are learning more everyday cooking sous vide, we publish recipes that are tried and true, we recommend and teach others about iSi, sous vide, pressure cooking, BBQ done RIGHT. I came to your website via one of our members on the group: BillsKitchen, and one our moderators.
I would love to review the wood utensils and do a recommendation to our 181 members. Plus I unabashedly would love to work with these lovely kitchen tools.
I can been eying these wooden tools for a few weeks. Would love to have a set.

I know what you mean about loving wooden utensils, they just feel so right in a kitchen. I need to replace mine so will peruse his website in search of some beauties. Thanks for sharing this.
Great list of links. Wish I had read it before I went to Seattle the other day. Crossing my fingers on the beautiful wooden utensils. Clarice
I use wooden utensils all the time in the kitchen and would love these. Thank you for your wonderful blog.
Gorgeous!
Need those wooden tools! Just saw them the other day and now again. Is it a sign?
Quinn popcorn is sold by my local coop and is very yummy!
I didn’t think I could daydream about beautiful spoons until this post!
I actually really like the occasional link roundup post. And those wooden tools are seriously gorgeous!
A wooden spatula! How awesome is that ๐ I use wooden utensils when I’m making jams & etc.
Could you? Wood you? Please?
Oh how much I love utensils that are wooden and so beautiful looking! I love everything wood!
I would LOVE these!
All (almost all) wooden utensils are lovely, but these actually look like ones that you would use. Bonus!
I am a wooden spoon fan too
Brad’s wooden creations are gorgeous. To honor them, a haiku:
honoring the grain
wood transformed for a purpose:
elegant service
amazing. Love it.
as do I. That’s awesome.
I was just thinking I needed to add some of these wooden spoons to my christmas list! They are so lovely!!
Huge fan of the trifecta by Earlywood! Happy Sunday!
http://lovecompassionatelee.squarespace.com/
Thanks for sharing! It’s always good to get info on small businesses that should be supported!
Its all beautiful! No better color than stained wood!
Hey Allie,
Actually, none of these utensils are stained… those are all natural wood colors! The only thing I put on them is a clear 100% foodsafe oil.
Love, love the wood utensils. I only use wood anyway, but these are way beyond anything I have in beauty, plus the spreaders look wonderful! Also grateful for a healthy popcorn suggestion!
It looks so nice- I love wooden tools!
These wooden utensils are so beautiful! I feel like my kitchen should really have one of each, now.
Of course I’m entering for the wood stuff! I just got an olivewood cutting board while I was touring in Germany. Gotta add to the collection now!
loving the utensils! so beautiful!
Congratulations on your new business!
I want, I want, I want those wooden utensils! I’m a Greek American and I PROMISE- I will put them to AMAZING use! xo Joanne

I just discovered Earlywood online. So beautiful!
The photos are a lint but dark on this post but I know I still want these utensils! And why oh why did you tell me about this popcorn? I will be addicted!
Oh, these are so beautiful! I love wooden kitchen tools!
Looks like a great biz, best of luck!
I know exactly what you mean about the weakness for wooden utensils. These seem particularly beautiful – thanks for letting us know about them!
Love love love his wooden spoons
Love all your picks, thank you for the links!
Oh my, oh my. Those wooden utensils are BEYOND gorgeous. There truly is no better kitchen utensil than one made out of wood, I think. I have been v-e-r-y s-l-o-w-l-y trying to transition from the inexpensive silicone, plastic, and metal utensils that long outlasted the ‘college days’ to items just like Earlywood.
Stunning! Thank you
What a lovely way to pay it forward! Wooden utensils just feel so good in your hand…
These are so beautiful! They have such gorgeous grain!
I appreciate your love of a good wooden spoon. They can easily seem to become a part of someone. When my grandma passed away, my uncle and I immediately made sure that no one accidentally donated my grandmother’s favorite wooden spoon and her garlic press. She had at drawers full of spoons but she reached for the same wooden spoon every time. Now my uncle does too.
Love wooden kitchen utensils. These are beautiful. Such craftsmanship!
I love all these wooden utensils! They’re so handy to have around the kitchen.
Beautiful Earlywood set. Will they ship to Canada?
Hi Alya,
I ship all over the world. Order right on my website, use the shipping estimator tool, and that will show you the actual shipping cost.
Ahh I would love some new kitchen toys! Especially ones as drop dead stunning as those.
Keep up the lovely blogging, I’m a long-time fan xx
Iโm not sure if this offer is available internationally, but if so I would love to enter the giveaway! Such beautiful spoons, they look like they would feel wonderful in your hand.

These are beautiful!
Wouah, super beautiful, I love them! The spoons especially.
Gorgeous. Having beautiful, hand-crafted items like these in the kitchen is what helps give a kitchen soul. Just lovely.
My friend bought me an earlywood cutting board for Christmas last year. I’d love some wooden tools to go with it!
Those spoons – NEED!!!

I’ve been hearing a lot about Earlywood. I sent my husband over to the site so hopefully I’ll start a collection soon ๐
I love using my wooden kitchen tools. Early Wood tools would make a beautiful addition to my collection.
Those are some seriously beautiful wooden spoons!
I collect wooden spoons from travels, too! I’m intrigued by the Earlywood spatulas – they’re so simple and sleek. I’ve added one to my wishlist. Thanks for sharing the things you like! I always appreciate a recommendation.
Would love to win & those cookies look KILLER!! yummmmm….
I’m also a sucker for well-designed and beautiful wooden kitchen implements โฆ all the more so when they are free ๐
I love wooden utensils โ the heft in the hand feels right and there’s a certain “quiet” about them in action. The Earlywood tools are beautiful, and enough to make me salivate!
I have been ogling Earlywood’s utensils for quite some time and hope to get to try them out soon!
I’m with you! A good wooden spoon is a thing of beauty – and practicality! These are beautiful, and I’d love to win a set!!
Beautiful products! I love Quinn Popcorn too, and The Earlywood spoons are so beautiful!
Beautiful wooden utensils!
I host all my siblings, their SO and my parents (in addition to my own family of 4) every Christmas and these beautiful utensils would look beautiful on our dining table. Thanks for the chance to win.
Variety is good!
Wow, those wooden utensils are beautiful!
those wooden utensils are just stunning. would love to add to my kitchen!
Love those utensils!
They’re gorgeous! And good luck in the new business!!
these are so absolutely gorgeous! Thank you!!! Good luck to everyone but yeah um… I want to win!
I am so obsessed with wooden utensils it’s not even funny. I would cherish these! Thanks for the chance!
These are functional and beautiful tools. Thanks for the information to his page.
Great links!! I’m a sucker for wood everything too, and these spoons and spatulas are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
I found this post and Brad’s website inspiring and went to find my one and only favorite wooden spoon… i know what people are getting for Christmas this year! your cookie mix and a wooden spatula!!
Absolutely gorgeous.
I love wooden utensils!
I love a link roundup when it’s full of products genuinely adored. This set of wooden spoons is a perfect example! I think they make a perfect hostess gift, and I’m always looking for one of those. I’d love to win one, but if I don’t, I might have to splurge and buy a few!
Would love these!!
that’s a nice spatula you’ve got there.
Those are absolutely stunning!
The spoons are gorgeous. And the idea of a wooden spatula that nice would pretty much require a batch of cookies stat!
These look so beautiful.
The Earlywood tools look functional and beautiful. I am not sure what the wood is? The spoons remind me of vintage European spoons (I have some small French olive spoons that i love). The spatulas are a super interesting shape and I can see why you like them. They would match my funky antique walnut kitchen table ….it has knots and cracks on the top and the color matches these :-). I think the spatulas would be great for stirring stuff like polenta too, anything that you don’t want to stick..the shape would be good for scraping the bottom of deep pots.
I am also a sucker for wooden spoons. They make cooking more enjoyable! Thanks for the chance to win those beauties.
Wow, I just checked out Earlywood FB page and site! They’re made in Red Lodge MT.. I grew up in MT :-). I posted earlier but comment seems to have disappeared. The spoons remind me of vintage French olive spoons I have…gorgeous designs and woods.
Wow, that’s one gorgeous set of wooden utensils. They put my current ones to shame but I’m throwing my hat in the pot anyway. = )
what gorgeous tools! i love using wood in the kitchen and these utensils are absolutely beautiful.
amazing craftsmanship! I too love wooden utensils. Most of the time I love cooking, but when I walk into the kitchen, not feeling like making dinner on a crazy-busy weeknight, using good simple utensils makes me feel connected to generations of cooking and makes me feel good about making a meal.
Ah I love those utensils!
Those wooden tools are EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL!!!
naturally a treasure
Love those spoons!!
The wooden spoons are super gorgeous!!
Gorgeous!! Love his site!
Gor. Geous.
Those are beautiful!
Didn’t even know microwave popcorn was that unwholesome….the Quinn’s flavors sound amazing ๐

Congratulations on the launch of your new business!

Love the wooden utensils! And I love living in Seattle, too!
Love the wooden utensils!
Oh I love wooden spoons…and popcorn!
love the use of natural materials.. beautiful
Those wooden spoons are ridiculously beautiful!! I grew up with my grandma using only wooden spoons in the kitchen ๐ I think I might dream about them tonight!:D
Wooden spoons are the best! And, mmmmmpopcorn! Looking forward to your lovely words about Seattle (my city too!)
Beautiful spoons!
Montana made! I love mine!
Good article!
There is something intrinsically beautiful about handmade, wooden items. More than tools I think , rather finely honed instruments. It would be a joy to create with these works of art.
Lovely! They must be a joy to hold in the hand.
These are gorgeous, especially the spreaders! Thanks for the opportunity.
I love this wooden utensil collection. Almost too beautiful to use.
And the popcorn sounds like a must have.
Foodie Next Door,
I get that all the time. People say they’re too beautiful to use… then they take them home and use them and the next thing they say is that they use them nonstop!
Beautiful work. All the links are great.
I’m ridiculously in love with Quinn popcorn. Those wooden spoons are gorgeous.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Would love to have these wooden spoons working in my kitchen.
wow, I love new products! My poor hubby. ๐
Those spoons look incredible. A wooden spoon has always been an indispensable part of my kitchen, having grown up in a Russian home that treasured ornate wooden utensils a lot more than any other material. Thank you for sharing these!
Wow, those wooden utensils are stunning! Love all the links ๐
These are just gorgeous! The ladle is perfect timing for fall soup season!
wow just beautiful!
Those tools are absolutely gorgeous!
Oh my goodness, I want me some Earlywood SO BAD. I’ve been creeping on it ever since dig this chick did a post on it. Swooooon.
Wow – these are gorgeous! Love the dark wood <3
Those Earlywood utensils look fabulous. Any chance Earlywood makes a risotto spoon? And those great sounding popcorn flavors are making me hungry.
We don’t have a risotto specific spoon out yet, but I have about 10 other utensils and 5 cutting board designs that I’m going to release as soon as I have the time. Sign up for the Earlywood Newsletter on my site if you want to be the first to know!
I love wooden kitchen implements over all others. Thanks for showing them.
These utensils are so beautiful!
Love this website. So great for my kitchen and my friends who love to cook. I know what’s gonna be under my Christmas tree this year!
Those wooden spoons are gorgeous!
beautiful wooden utensils!
Those wooden kitchen tools look amazing… I spent last night coating my existing collection with spoon butter (beeswax and virgin coconut oil).
One of the best ways to spend an evening!

I just read all 286 comments! Talk about inspiration to keep going with Earlywood and keep making utensils that will be passed on from generation to generation. To think that an Earlywood utensil could be used for 50 years, then be one of the most important items passed on from one generation to the next makes me proud to be doing what I’m doing. Thank you for all the great comments and I wish you could all win!
I’ve been looking for some new wooden props, to do my food photography….this just solved my problem!!!

I absolutely love the wooden kitchen tools you’ve featured above – they are very sleek and would make incredible host/hostess gifts. This was such a great post, I need to get my hands on that popcorn! Love your site, keep up the awesome work.

As a college student I would LOVE to win these spoons (and I definitely need them on my budget..) I’m in love with all your posts, and wish I had much more time to bake!!
I, too, have a weakness for wooden kitchen utensils… and these look like the kind that I would use every day and that would make the experience of cooking and serving food even more special.
Also… popcorn. I’m obsessed. It’s one of my favorite snack foods. But only warm popcorn. I don’t do the cold kind you buy at the store. But I might change that for Quinn’s Popcorn. ๐
I am working on getting the plastic out of my kitchen. I NEED these wooden utensils!
Nice wooden utensils. I’d love to give them a home. I use my bamboo spatulas every day.
There’s something special about stirring a pot of chili or stew with a wooden tool! Thank you for sharing this site as it’s so hard to find good quality wooden utensils.
Your website always amazes me of all what I learn from it. Thank you very much for sharing all your knowledge.
