Treasure From The Souks
Thursday, February 23, 2012 at 8:04 PM
Every morning at Peacock Pavilions, these dainty spoons would appear on the breakfast table. Nestled in pots of jam and honey, resting in bowls of salt, lying beside mugs of coffee.
I tracked some down in the souks and brought three of the tiny treasures home for you. If you’d like their cheery stripes to brighten your own breakfast table, just leave a comment below. You’ve got until 9am (GMT) on Tuesday (28th). I’ll choose a winner at random.

Hi Helen, wow , they are beautiful. Everything in morocco seems to have extraordinary colour. Another friend is also just back from there and her photos have such amazing colour. Look forward to seeing more of the images you shot there :)
Hello Helen,
Such cute spoons. Love the color. Morrocco sounds and looks amazing. I am enjoying your wonderful photos from the retreat. Thanks for sharing and for this lovely giveaway!
before i even got to your words, i was admiring those spoons. so to finish your post and find that you're giving them away...what?! how exciting!!!
i've been enjoying all of your images from morocco...so lovely. what an experience...
You can almost see a peacock reflected in the spoons - lovely!
OH, WOW... I think these are the happiest, cheeriest spoons I've ever seen! Thank you for the very kind and fun giveaway. Such yummy colors! Happy Weekend, Helen ((HUGS))
Hi there Helen - Found your site through Heidi Swanson - When I spotted the spoons I was filled with joy as I am a collector. We do lots of gifting around our place with homemade preserves, jams and chutneys. We often include a spoon or spreader depending what we have on hand. Love your site and spent a lazy afternoon yesterday browsing around the wonderful snaps from Morocco;
such fantastic colours and designs. Will be back often.
Helen, your Morocco photographs have taken me on such wonderful journeys, thank you so much for sharing them. Of course your cat collection just had to be my favourite :) And oh, those gorgeous spoons sing happiness :) Sending you lots of love, Milena
these spoons are precious! i came across your blog via maryam.. your morocco photosets really caught my eye, and am enjoying the rest of your instagram shots as well.
I love these rainbow coloured spoons. They would brighten up any one's day.
Love these spoons, the colors. I can only imagine that they are what Morocco feels like.
Hi there, love these spoons! I'm headed to Marrakesh in May - what are the odds I can find them in the souk?
Hi Jennifer!
It took me a while to track down the spons but if you ask about you'll find them. Happy hunting - and have a fabulous time!
