Silver Sugar Sifter*

A little antique sugar spoon - it has holes at the end so you can sprinkle sugar over your strawberries! (*Go on, try to say it quickly twice, you know you want to!)
My sister bought this for me from Portobello Road market in London when we went there in the spring - she saw me admiring it and surprised me! We had a lovely day, made up for the one we had scheduled in February which was called off when I was suddenly struck down by a kidney stone...luckily I hadn't got on the train to Kings Cross yet.

Gosh you are all so wonderfully kind, looking at my eye shot and even commenting on it - what can I say but Thank You All - I so appreciate your opinions! :)
Twice was fine - it was the 3rd time that got me! :-)
Nice silver sugar sifter, nicely lit. (What a kind sister)

my grandmother had one of these, I loved using it to sprinkle the sugar, thanks for the lovely memory.
My mum has had a few kidney stones, so I know how painful they can be, you poor thing, I hope you don't get another

Wow! I love this! It's so beautiful and yet so practical in function. We Americans just blob it on and say "oh well, we don't have the proper sugar spoon".

nice spoon! I think I've seen something similar at my parents place but don't think it's meant to be used with strawberries... need to ask my mum about it

Never heard of such a spoon! Humm... do berries even need sugar. Nice capture!
