Jump the gun much?

I know this post is a little pre-mature, but I couldn't help myself!

As these things always go, I was on Etsy (If you have never been to this amazing website, go now. Go now and waste an hour or two looking at handmade or vintage goodness).

And I came across this bracelet at thecottagepath made of spoons from 1915 with a Bridal Wreath pattern:

And I said to myself, "that is the perfect 'something old' for a wedding."  And I showed it to Mr. S, who didn't seem the least bit freaked out about me buying something for a wedding (seriously, what has happened to this man?  Have I finally beaten him into compliance?  I jest.).

And so as not to feel too weird about this purchase (and it's only $1 to ship a second item from the same vendor), I also got a necklace made with the charter oak pattern for everyday use/eating:

I dunno why I like this silverware so much.  Maybe it's the ornateness, but I really like that people are re-purposing them as jewelry.  I blame my best friend, who bought me a spoon cuff back from Berlin this summer, for lighting a spark of inspiration.
