Bee-utter Knife

You know those wonderful harry and david corporate gift baskets?  The kind that get sent out to company's around the holidays.  Well back when I was still doing the 9-to-5 in December, I nabbed a butter/cheese knife from one of them.  It was free! and it was an ugly brick red.

So with some charcoal and green tea paint and a stencil via contact paper and the cricut - I fixed it!

And for an amusing story - I was mistaken for a high-schooler today.  It is officially Field Trip to DC time.  I was waiting on a train platform this morning and there was a group of students behind me.  The teacher wanted to have everyone's attention so no one would get lost.  So you put her hand on my shoulder so I would turn around and pay attention.  I turned and sweetly told her that I wasn't her student but I understood because I was the shortest one!  She seemed a bit embarrassed (I was too!) but we all had a good laugh.

  1. What a nice knife for the Spring table! And very funny story - I am 6 ft. tall, so growing up I was the one always confused for the older one - and not in a good way!

  2. What a great idea! I must have a bunch of these in one of my kitchen drawers. I think we get one of these gift baskets every Christmas!
