Vintage spoons
If eating your words sounds like an unpleasant pastime, consider serving them up on a vintage, silver-plated spoon hand-stamped by Vinyl Phrase Craze. Valerie Rzeszotarski launched her line of spoons in 2010 with a single sentence: Home is where your mom is. "To this day," says Rzeszotarski, "that is still my best-seller." During May - for Mother's Day, of course - Rzeszotarski says she sells 100 of this spoon alone. But she's branched out to add other play on words, including "Cereal Killer," inspired by her Cheerios-eating son, and "Spoon Me," popular with cohabitating couples. Rzeszotarski finds her secondhand spoons at local estate sales, antique stores and flea markets. "I am very, very picky," she says. "They can't have too many scratches because if you're giving it as a gift, you want it to look as new as possible." etsy.com/shop/vinylphrasecraze
The local muralist and hand-lettering artist brought her own personal touch that celebrates the best that Cleveland has to offer.
