Carol, aka Beulah
is today's giveaway gift recipient!
your comments have been wonderful
the building of dog houses
the making of quilts
the inspiration
I, for one, am thrilled
to hear from all of you
thank you
on another note
I have a little story to share
and a question to ask
a good friend started a wonderful charity when her father passed on
Christmas Day
my friend makes a great breakfast
and a small group of us gather around a big table in the garden
(after all, it's December in California!!)
we make pbj sandwiches
which are then put into sack lunch bags
with a little something sweet and a "cutie"
this year, socks will be included, thanks to another friend's donation
and then my friend and her mother
take the sack lunches into skid row
and feed the homeless
on Christmas day
she and her mother are
A-Mazing.
today I went looking for those short 'spread' spreaders
they look like frosting spatulas but they're only about 5" long
does anyone know what they're called
and where I can find them?
as always, please leave a comment or a cookie recipe
and the name of those spreader thingeys
there are still gifts under the
tree
to be sent to some of you

What is the beautiful white flower???
I think I would call your tool a palette knife!
It's lovely what your friend and her mom do, that's the real spirit of Christmas. I think you may be looking for cheese spreaders.
I know what you mean on the spreaders - I have a pair (long and short) that I got from some Kitchen party or another. I'll keep my eye out for you.
And I agree - lovely what your friend and her Mom do.
It's earlier and I have only had one cup of coffee, all I can think of is cheese spreaders! Have a lovely weekend as we head into the final stretch!
An angled spatula. I have several that are used for icing cakes, but can be used for anything. Available in the cake decorating aisle.
Fabulous spirit of the holiday gift and on Christmas Day! Very nice!
This is the ones I use for spreading icing -

Have a lovely day!
We always call them "off-set spatulas". Have you tried Jo-Ann's or Michaels, in the section where they have cake decorating supplies and stuff made by Wilton?
If I can get out today--we have a long, snowy driveway--I'll look for you.
What a lovely tribute to your friend's dad--he left quite a legacy in such a kind daughter.
Thank you so much! :)
As for the spatulas/spreaders I've found these before at: Hobby Lobby and Walmart in the cake decorating section, at Target with kitchen utensils, even at our local grocery....Pampered Chef also sells these. Hope you are able to track some down without a ton of running around.
@ Gill the white flower reminds me of String Lilies that grow in the marshes of Florida

Like this? I know what you're talking about, I have a sort of spreader knife, but it was a gift....

Love amazon prime!
Love your store, also. I have pieced a bento box top from Hawaiian fabrics I bought from your booth at a quilt expo in Santa Clara 3 years ago. Maybe I should send photos now rather than waiting until it is quilted....
congrats to Carol.
looks like you got some help on your question.
those flowers are gorgeous.
What a beautiful story! Giving always makes me feel good.
