When I was going through my photo album, I found two postcards that I bought during my tour of Wales. The cards were of the Welsh Love Spoons. For your information, a love spoon is an ornately carved spoon traditionally made from a single piece of wood by young men in Wales, and maybe other parts of Europe, as a token of love for their girlfriends to show their affection and intentions.
In present day, the spoons are presented as a gift of affection or bought as a memento of a visit to Wales. Lovespoons are also given for many special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, births, engagements, christenings, house warming and St. Valentines Day. I managed to buy a set of Love Spoons and have them until today. Mine are made of copper.
