It's a joy to see small beautifully hand crafted objects.

yay! happy birthday to you.
i am so excited that you are going to soon have more salt bowls.
happy birthday to you!

these cake/cheese plates are absolutely beautiful.
handmade things are best
every hand recognizes
evidence of yours
(a haiku for your wonderful work)
Happy Birthday! Please thank your dad for sharing his beautifully handcrafted items with us, and thank you for encouraging him to do so. I bought my first spoon yesterday. I was shopping for myself but then I saw a spoon that had my best friend's name written all over it. I know she is going to love it and I can't wait to give it to her! -Gina
BTW, I saw herriot grace mentioned on 101 Cookbooks.
Happy Birthday! I'm completely bummed I missed that other cheese board. I was hoping to snag one.

Congratulations!
I used to collect spoons, but thought it was a bit bizarre, so stopped and kept my collection quiet, but I think I may be updating my collection rather soon!
Thank you and well done, what an achievement!

Congratulations and happy 1st birthday!
I'm not sure how/where I heard about your company... probably through one of the lovely blogs you mentioned. I love the work you do and the fact that you're a father-daughter team is really awesome! All the best :)
Darling love,
Your dad's spoons and everything else are incredible. I am going to snag a few when I come home for prezzies. Or what the heck, for myself.
Happy Birthday to the shop! And can we maybe go for brunch when I return? Dec.29-Jan.7. Are you in TO?
Loads of love,

I can't remember how I first discovered Heriott Grace months ago but I was just reminded on it on 101 Cookbook's Fall Favourites. I especially adore the baby spoons.

fell in love with your images on flickr. beauty all around... congratulations on that bright first candle!
Happy blog Birthday! Your work is so incredibly beautiful - I love my little salt bowl and can't wait to add a mortar and pestle to my collection. I can't wait to see where things take you and your dad over the next year!
Congratulations! You have a wonderful shop. I discovered your shop sometime ago and it's great to see how it has grown already. And I love your story about working together with your dad.That makes it even more special..
You and your dad make beautiful things! I was reading your blog before you started the shop. I can't remember how I came across the blog, probably linked to from another site. I particularly love the ladle and cake platters you've made.
Happy birthday! I can't remember when I started reading your blog or how it happened. I just know that i enjoy it!
Happy and blessed 1st Birthday. I was lucky enough to have found you through flickr. Great pics, and even better wood work. I love your stuff and something tells me this will be the first of many more birthdays to celebrate!
Now, have your cake AND eat it too :)

I think I saw your blog mentioned on a friend's earlier this year. Ever since then it's been in my Google Reader under a folder called Inspiration. There are only a few others I have in there. I find inspiration and a soothing visit with every one of your posts. Thank you for sharing.
Congratulations from an old fan! I love how your offerings have been evolving from spoons to salt bowls to cake stands. But I especially love how this is a project between you and your dad. I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!
congrats! Happy Birthday :)you should be proud :)i wish you many more and a lot of success and looking forward to your new projects :)
Congratulations! Can't think of anything much better than creating and putting beauty out into the world. I love the new cheese boards (and the salt bowls, and the baby spoons, and...)
happy birthday!!
and I am sorry, I am not sure how I found out. Another blog, but gosh, it has been too long.
I love your images, I love your stories.
Renee
Happy Birthday and thank you for putting your beautiful creativity out into the world. And thanks to 101 Cookbooks for referring me!
Oh, congrats on one year!
I am so happy for you and your success, I really hope it just keeps going.
Your new products and styling looks amazing, I'm asking for one of your things for christmas and crossing my fingers I'll get it. Cheers!
happy birthday!! i can't remember how i found your little corner of the internet but when i pop by i'm always glad that i did. i'm going to keep my eyes out for one of those salt bowls next week.
Thanks Nikole!
It is momentous, congrats!
The knotty salt bowl (13) is just perfect by the way.
Happy first birthday, congrats! I love the story of you and your dad doing this together. I found you through Celine's blog and so glad I did!
congratulations! I love to peek and dream at all the lovely things in your shop. I imagine a special small birthday cake presented every year on that beautiful cake stand.
happy birthday!! your stories are such a treat, and the spoons are adorable : ) congrats on a great year!
Happy Birthday, I just wanted to drop by and say how much I admire you and your father and of course the spoons! No a lot of people would pour their heart out and do what they really love nowadays.
All the best!
Happy Birthday! I love everything about the pieces you and your father create. Such a wonderful collaboration. Congratulations!
happy bday! you two make a fabulous team. the cheese/cake boards are delightful. xox
Happy Happy!
Happy Day to Forty-Sixth at Grace (as I write that I am wondering if you live on Grace in Little Italy...oh, I long for my old Toronto days). I really enjoy your words which accompany each photo or entry. You've got a strong voice. Kirsty
Truly beautiful. The objects and their story.
I hope I'm not too late for the "drawing"! I just discovered your shop and I love it!
Happy birthday awesome spoons and bowls and cheeseboards!
I came here by way of Emma Bradshaw and I am just awestruck by the beauty of your beautiful wooden utensils. And the pedestal plates! Whoa! It may be lucky for everyone on my Christmas list that they are sold out, because I would have had to have one of those for me! I'll keep an eye out for any new ones, though. :)
i found your site throught flickr. congratulations on your past, present and future successes.
-Melissa
Happy Birthday to you...Happy Birthday to you!
Congrats on your 1!

Oh my, oh my. I've just stumbled upon your blog and shop and the whole lovely stew. And while the cheese plate it stunning, and it would be an honor to own it, what I mostly want to share is this: your gorgeous craftsmanship reminds me of an old, old bowl my Nana once gave me, carved of a single piece of wood, worn smooth and polished as satin over years (decades? a century?) of careful use. I used it myself, for years, to hold our Christmas oranges. And I've been missing it mightily this week (it finally cracked, along the grain, straight down the center), with the new season's satsumas here and the bowl gone. And I'd always assumed it was irreplaceable. Yet here you are, with these luminous, careful works. What joy. Thank you. Merry Christmas.

Happy Birthday to you and to your's and your father's lil' shop of lovelies...it is all a true inspiration. I wish you the very best in the future and hope all your birthday wishes come true!
xo Kris and Dan
Wow, happy birthday!! I remember seeing your shop a little while ago, but forgot to bookmark it. Katy Elliott reminded me with her Twitter retweet of your shop update today. Your work is beautiful, as is the photography. I have been in a woodworking class this semester at CCS and have fallen in love with woodturning. Thank you for the inspiration and for adding a bit of beauty to the world :)
Brittany
