Collecting WHY I COLLECT
We met when we were 15 and 16 at a Young Farmers barn dance, when Jonathon was on holiday in Wales with his parents. At 18 we moved into a cottage together in Wales, and have lived there ever since.
Love spoons are probably as important toheaddresses are to Native Americans - they’re woven into our society, history culture. They’re iconic. We bought our first love spoons about 30 years ago - they were modern spoons with less hand carving and more machine working but we soon realised we related to the older spoons far more. Antique love spoons are so infinitely variable. There’s a very personal story connected to each one.
