As promised. more show and tell! I have been fortunate enough to come across some fabulous "silver" finds, along the way, throughout the summer, that I have picked up here and there. The round tray is actually a family heirloom that I have had tucked away, (for what, I don't know) so I finally got it out.
My silverware collection is expanding...so pretty.
I am absolutely in love with this piece! I adore the intricate and ornate floral detail. Check it out:
I almost hated to put something in it, but I scored these vintage buttons at a garage sale and love showing them off, as well!
I didn't have to go far; this silverware was another score from a garage sale in my own neighborhood!
...And I have been able to fill in my spoon collection!
Silver, to me, isn't necessarily always in the pure form. I love the "silverish" lid on the ball jar (and love that blue glass).
The tiny forks and butter knives were an exciting acquisition.
A Goodwill trip landed me with a fabulous large serving bowl! THIS item will be so versatile...
On an excursion with my daughters, I spotted this charming creamer.
The creamer on the right, I think, is such a beautiful design.
Like, I said, silver can come in different forms. I consider these fantastic antique books to be like tarnished silver, in their age and appearance. So-oo COOL!
These pages were published in 1899, and written by Honore De Balzac, who was from France. I am thoroughly enthralled with these books!
Wow.
(The house, Rue Fortunee, Paris, in which Balzac died.)I adore things with so much history...Hope you have an historical day!

Thanks for sharing all of your lovely pretties. I love silver and the idea to put vintage buttons inside the piece is just perfection!
