Hi friends…
Tragedy struck over the holidays here…
I broke my Pfaltzgraff Folk Art Spoon Rest.
This is no laughing matter. We use this piece every day of our lives. It’s at our coffee station and I knew I would miss it terribly. I actually cried a tear over this.
So since I had a bunch of other stuff that needed fixed… I tried gluing it. But alas the glue did not take. And so then I tried Gorilla Glue. And it didn’t stick either.
I am truly broken hearted over this. 
If anyone has one that they would be willing to part with please let me know. I’m watching on eBay but none have come up.
Until next time…
Carmen and the Primcats

I'm so sorry, I would be upset too. I love my Folk Art collection and am so careful when I use it. I vowed this yr to add a few pieces to my collection. I just Googled them and one did come up on Ebay but it's the modern one w/ no long handle. ?? I'll keep looking. Have a good day.
Is there any way to use it as it is without a long handle?
how about grout? would that hold it together until you find another? Dianntha
I'm heading down to the basement to look at my collection, I'm pretty sure I have one and if so, you are welcome to it :)

Oh No!!!!!! thats not good, sure hope you will find another Carmen......I have broken so many things I love, heartbreaking, Francine.
Oh no, so sorry! My little grandson broke the lid to my old ceramic butter churn while he was here visiting, it was my mother-in-laws and the one thing of hers I had:( My own fault though, should have put it up and away from little hands:/
Hi!! Sorry but sounds like someone has one for you!! Hope they do!!! I get upset to loose or break anything..I use crazy glue a lot!!!
Oh Carmen I know just how you feel...we had company this summer and they dropped my Pfaltzgraff Folk Art salt shaker...I couldnt cry in front of her and of course I said for her not to worry about it (I realy didnt want her to feel bad) but I was holding back the tears !!!
Have you checked ebay ? I was looking for a few pieces just the other day and they had pages and pages of items...I didnt see the spoon rest, but then again, I wasnt looking for it. It's a piece I dont have yet !
Reading the comments it looks like someone has another one for you. As suggestion for the broken one, have you tried Aleenes Tacky glue? I use it for everything, including my ceramics and resin pieces. It takes a few mins. to set up but once it's dry it holds, nothing I've used it on has ever came apart.
I will keep checking around for you when I am out..in fact today and Saturday I am antiqing for the day. I will let you know if I find one.

Oh Carmen,I am so sorry.Been trying to finish my collection of the dinnerware so I understand.Hugs,Jen
So very sorry...I know I hate when a treasure of mine gets broken. Sure hope one comes to you soon.
Purrs,
Oh bugger! I'll keep an eye out for ya.
Hugs~Carol
I am so sorry about your spoon. I have a fix, it sounds odd but it works for all ceramics and pottery and it really holds tough. My mom uses canned milk, regular carnation canned milk. You paint it on the broken ends and stick it together. She has big bowls that she has fixed this way ans we still use them and wash them and they still hold even after 20 years. Give it a go and let me know how it works for you.

Sorry to hear that it broke, but it sounds like Tiff might of saved the day!!
hugs,
Cindy
I don't, but will be in Clinton tomorrow and will look.
Sorry you broke it, but we will find you another.
Email Tiffany...sounds like she has just what you need. I have Village myself and I know just how you feel about certain pieces. Glad you will be back in business soon and I am sure many folks will be watching the thrift stores now...you may end up with one for each day! LOL Ha
ppy New Year!
How nice of Tiff! Yaye! I am happy you will be able to replace it.
So sorry Carmen...I was going to start looking for one for you, but it sounds like Tiff is saving the day!! How sweet of her! I'll still be on the lookout in case you need a back up!---Jan
I get really cranky when things like that happen...my husband doesn't "get it" and thinks you can just go get another...not always the case. Glad to hear Tiff came through for you....Smiles & January Hugs ~ Robin
Noooo!!! I am sorry. I know how you feel. Sometimes things are just so special. I am surprised the glue didn't take. Good luck. -Steph-
Well that is horrible!!! It's not any fun when you have something that you absolutely love - even being a small thing!
We use 'silicone' when glues don't work...try that.
Karen
Oh Tiff how sweet! This is just another example of why I love this blogging community!
Be blessed Carmen!
