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!
