"She has talent in spades" is not a reference to square shovelfuls of talent.
It's a Bridge reference...Spades is the most valuable suit, so if whatever cards you have are in Spades, they are more valuable than the same cards in another suit.
Just remembered this. Apologies if I've already posted it.
