This vintage silver-plated baby mug has an embossed duckling on it. Three vintage silver-plated baby spoons hang from glass and metal beads, including ducklings! The middle spoon is from Gerber’s, the baby food company, in the 1950’s. Makes a great baby or shower gift!
Verdigris lantern with abalone shells has a beach vibe.. Turquoise, bronze, opaque white and pearly toned beads complement the mother of pearl sheen of the abalone. Five antique silver plated spoons have been deconstructed and hammered into “clappers’ to make this lantern chime.
“Bouillabaise” is a quieter windchime composed with an eclectic mix of driftwood, shells and experienced wooden spoons. These old wooden spoons were reimagined into fish with some grinding and woodburning.. Wood, coconut and mother of pearl beads in shades of blue and green give that ocean vibe. This piece was inspired by a swim at Montague Harbour, on Galiano Island, BC where the wood and shells were gathered. The top piece of wood floated past me and said “Bouillabaise”!

An antique sugar bowl with a grape motif provides the base for “Creme de Menthe”. Opaque, clear and pearlized green beads give this piece its creamy look. Antique silver plated soup spoons have been deconstructed and flattened to give “Creme de Menthe” its dulcet tones. Another Paris Olympics inspired windchime!
“Entremet”, the layer cake windchime features an antique silver plated cake server with glass and mother of pearl shell beads. Deconstructed antique silver plated spoon handles make a quiet chiming sound. And there’s an antique cake fork to make it even yummier!
“Forget Me Not” is a whimsical windchime. I don’t know the origin of the metal flower but it is very lightweight so this piece moves a lot in the wind. I added contemporary blue and clear beads including tiny flowers reminiscent of forget-me-nots. Deconstructed antique silver spoon handles and bowls make this chime sing.
“Forquoise” is composed of five silver-plated vintage forks and a napkin holder that I deconstructed. Silver and turquoise coloured beads tie it all together. The fork tines make a tingle that quietly reverberates!
A vintage napkin holder and antique soup spoons were deconstructed to create this piece. They are suspended by strands of opaque and clear beads in rich wine tones. Five flattened spoon bowls make a sonorous clang.
“Hot Spots” sparkles with turquoise coloured and clear beads. Souvenir spoons from hot spots in Hawaii and Australia hang from driftwood and make a tinkling sound.
“Mariposa”. A vintage brass butterfly trivet sparkles with beads in shades of purples and gold. Deconstructed gold toned spoon bowls make a sonorous chime.
“Octopus’ Garden” is a funky metal basket suspended on strands of glass and mother of pearl beads. Eight tentacles of blue and pearl toned beads and shells extend to vintage silver serving pieces below, creating a delightful clamor.
