Description
Journaling: Greg’s grandma, Anna Vollmer, was a fantastic cookie baker. These are the only recipes I have in her handwriting. I regret that today most recipes are computer printouts.
The wooden spoon is hand carved and dated 1940; Unfortunately I have no idea who carved it. But it is a great spoon for stirring cookie dough, sturdy and able to efficiently scrape the sides of the bowl.

When I went to the kitchen to look for the old wooden spoon Greg asked what I was doing. I said my assignment today is to scrap an heirloom. I pulled his grandmother’s spoon from the crock that holds utensils. He got a strange look on his face and said,

You’re going to scrap it?

Yes

“Like destroy it?”

OH No! Just the opposite. I’m going to preserve it!

I love that someone carved the spoon by hand and that it's still in use! How wonderful! The handwritten recipes are also such treasures. Really fabulous page!
 
This is absolutely gorgeous!!! I love the story of Greg's grandmother's wooden spoon and recipes.. that carved spoon is such a treasure.. wow! Your convo with Greg makes me giggle :) I am so glad you included the photo of his grandma along with that wonderful wooden spoon. I too love the recipes in their own handwriting. To me handwriting is like a fingerprint. very unique. If I see handwriting, I immediately get their image in my mind. Your composition of your page here is spectacular and I really adore rebecca's elements here to help you tell your heirloom story. Such a treasure!! Thank you for sharing and for playing along with my MOC11 Day 7 Heirloom Challenge!
