... I'm addicted to thrifting and silver{plate}. When I see a deal, I can't resist! I found the following pieces during a recent jaunt while thrifting and I grabbed them, hoping for the best.
The pedestal piece was very dirty ~ I just loved its shape.
After a lot of rubbing and cleaning, I uncovered beauties!
I just love shiny things!
{To clean these pieces, I used Wright's and Tarn-X - they can be found at your local Wal Mart or other discount stores.}
Today I've linked with Susan's Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday and Diane at Second Time Around Tuesday. Be sure to stop by their sites for amazing finds and transformations!
All I can say is ME TOO!
ReplyDeleteI love looking for treasures, and I love silver(plate).
I had fun visiting,

I'm with you with the love of finding silver pieces! There is the most wonderful rush of excitement as you sit down and start cleaning them and seeing the real treasure you just got! Even my hubby loves to find old d=silver items and clean them up.
