Sarah Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Go ahead, laugh, but I do not know. Spring cleaning, found a set of three measuring spoons. Obviously, these were relics from the late Goodwife Lee. But I had never seen ones like these. Obviously very carefully custom hand made, well used. All marked. Is there such a thing as an official volume measurement for a 'smidgen', a 'dash', and a 'pinch'? I do not know! Sarah. Quote Link to comment
kully Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 (edited) don't know if there are "official" measurements for these , but a friend gave me a set of these once. I didn't use them and eventually got rid of them. Cute little gift ,tho. (for a Sunday School Christmas party) Edited April 20, 2015 by kully Quote Link to comment

ArmyOfFive4God Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Thank you! Now to figure how to label, without damaging them. I have seen these before. The thrift shoppe a little down the road has a set. So cute! But to answer your question, hands down I recommend the Brother labelers with the laminated tape. The firefighters use them for their heat resistance (dishwasher), & I can attest that a label can last 3 years with very often use going through the dishwasher. Once you get the corner pulled up, they come right off. Quote Link to comment
dogmom4 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I bought these off Amazon last year. I use the smidgen or drop to fill my own pill capsules. Very handy! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009X1P9S/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Quote Link to comment
