My Spoons

Owner:   SpoonHog (San Francisco, USA)

Description:   My spoon collection is pretty varied; most (but not all) of the spoons are from tourist destinations in the US. And most are from places I've never been. The following people get the real credit for the collection: Ellen Bradburn, Shay Cameron, Carolyn Cracraft, Rob Faludi, Laura Faludi, Dan Handalian, Terri Hannon, Emily Kanter, Rodger Keesee, Jill Kustner, Rebekah Lacey, Charlie Lu, Tara Millar, Julia Mossbridge, Roberto Renzetti, Thea Robinson, Marie Seibel, Stephanie Stern, Patricia Tate, Barry Vaughan, Dave Walcott, Matt Weimer, Kathy Wiley, and Nikki Woelk (and her aunt).

This collection has 91 spoons:
