Welsh Love Spoon

The Love Spoon:
Is a traditional gift created by a perspective suitor as part of the courtship ritual.  The suitor would design and create the spoon and then present it to his love as a visual statement of commitment, love and devotion not only to her but to her family as well.  It was important that the perspective suitor was seen as patient, creative, dedicated and good at design and problem solving.  These attributes were well served in the traditional Agrarian Communities of old where practically everything was designed and crafted by hand.  There are unlimited spoon designs in the history of Love Spoons only limited by the individual carvers own imagination.  There are as many spoon designs as there are / were spoon carvers and it is well worth a search for more information. 


This traditional design Welsh Love Spoon (See ETSY Listing -- ghostwindcreations) is the perfect  wedding or anniversary gift for the giver and/or receiver who seeks and appreciates the other than ordinary.  It is the perfect discussion / story piece and a solid representation of the traditional values of commitment, dedication and love.

This particular piece is also being offered at a special reduced price due to an unfortunate accident that left some minor superficial damage to the tip and ball cage of the spoon (see ETSY listing).  It's not terrible but I know it's there!
