Not long ago when Mr. Cush and I were embarking on our entry way redo, I noticed some wall art at Pier 1 that caught my attention. There were these vertical, three-feet silver forks and spoons that I knew I needed in our kitchen. However, we were focused on finding items for the entry way and I was getting hungry and we were racing through the store before I threw a tantrum about being hungry. (Yeah, that's actually happened before. I blame it on my self-diagnosed low blood sugar - I looked it up on WebMD.com, so it has to be true.) Plus, if you love something you're supposed to set it free. If its meant to be, you'll go back to the store, it will still be there and you'll purchase it.
It was meant to be. I went back to the store(s). I (eventually) purchased the giant fork'n spoon. (<- get it? Play on words there.)
Unfortunately, it took me a few stores to find the fork'n spoon set. The first Pier 1 I visited had five spoons and zero forks. The second Pier 1 was out of both. Finally, I called ahead and the second store I contacted had ONE FORK LEFT. I asked them to hold it for me and I buzzed off to Bee Cave to make it mine.
SIDENOTE: I could probably write an entire blog post on how ridiculous it is that these weren't sold in a set, and about what a raging lunatic someone must be if they bought one without the other. For the sake of brevity, I won't.
I replaced the "Washington Apples" and "Classic Oranges" frames that I bought when we first moved in (about $10 each at Marshall's, if I recall correctly) with the new fork'n spoon, as you'll see below ...
The craziest thing about this purchase, though, is that immediately after I Instagram'd the new home decor, my brother-in-law, Daniel, sent me the text on the right ...
Pretty fork'n funny how that worked out, isn't it? Proof that my sister and I truly are related and that we must share some of the same fork'n DNA!!!
Fantastic work! Thanks for the shout out!!!
