Mike has always been interested in kitchen utensils. As a small boy, he realized that using a
spoon to eat soup was much better than his fingers. But what to do with the remaining
spoons in the drawer? His bigger brother suggested door to door spoon sales, but at that
time, he wasn't allowed to talk to strangers. His spoon fetish remained dormant until his
early twenties when, after graduating college with a degree in sociology, he found that he
was pretty social but had no marketable skills and the rent was due. Thus began his foray
into spooncrafts. It's been a lot of years since then, and every year more designs and
creations have appeared.
This year at Spoonman Creations, we've added a few new creations.
New windchimes include the Owl (to go
with the Pussycat), and the Knife
Server chime. We updated the School windchime
and like it much better now. See if you don't agree.
Remember, you can see Spoonman every Saturday and Sunday
until Christmas Eve at Portland Saturday Market! (Except Fair
weekends)

Hey, if you are an alien, or are otherwise joining the festivities for the UFO festival this May, a Spoonman mask
will round out anyone's costume!

April at Spoonman
April
showers won't harm our windchimes,
and they'll add another dimension of sound to the weather. Our bud
vases are just perfect for those spring blooms.
May at Spoonman
Don't forget Mom on her special day! Perhaps a new windchime will harmonize the breeze to her own special melody.
The summer fair season starts with Spoonman at NW
Folklife in Seattle. See us all weekend long (May 23 -
26) under the covered Crafts Walkway. Spoonman joins hundreds
of other arts and crafts specialists and thousands of performers
making NW Folklife a unique experience!
