Shades of grey and pink...and the silver spoon

I used this spoon in a photo recently and said it had a story behind it.

I bought it from a local Fair trade shop. It was made in Laos from aluminium salvaged from deactivated unexploded bombs dropped on their province during the secret war which took place between 1964 and 1973.

A percentage of the money from the sale of these spoons goes to a charity to help young disadvantaged Laotians further their education.

 

On a lighter note, I'll let you into a little secret. The patterned fabric is a pair of oversized knickers Gloria bought for a photo...what is she like? ;)
