Wednesday Stamper - Spoons

At an early age, my Mother taught me to set the table the "proper" way....fork on the left and knife and spoon on the right. Like so many other children, this was my "job" at mealtime and I took it very seriously. I find myself almost compelled to correct the placement of cutlery if it isn't "correct". The Wednesday Stamper challenge theme is spoons and this is my entry.
