I never really understood the usefulness of a spoon rest until I really started cooking. Prior to that, they were always just little decorative items that sat on the stove top. Grandmother had one on her stove that I remember but I don't recall Mom having one on hers. Maybe she did, but if so, I have forgotten it. Ah, well. Now that I cook a lot, I definitely need to have my spoon rest handy! I have three different ones that I use throughout the year. This one, with the rabbit, is the second one I bought. I was at an antiques mall in Kernersville and saw it. It was in a booth having a 20% off sale so I paid less than $10 for it. While it is not an antique, more along the lines of a collectible, I love it. I don't collect rabbits, per say, but this one is very springish to me. And it's decorated in green, my favorite color! So why not treat myself? And I did. And I use it all the time. It's the one that is currently on my stove top.
It's the little things that make me happy. That is all.
