I'm joining a new party, Silver Sunday. Please stop by for lovely silver pieces...
I just can't help it...I love to collect silver pieces! It's so much fun to see a diamond in the rough, shine it up a bit and see a beauty appear!
Take this piece. It was $2.99 at a local thrift shop. I loved the details and thought if I can't get it to shine, I can at least use it for a tray and cover the yucky parts.
Well, hello gorgeous!
Today, I found this beauty for $5.00 at a favorite antique shoppe. The dealer was having a sale and everything was 15% off!
SOLD!
I snapped a picture after cleaning only half of it, I wanted to show that it's quite easy to do...with a little effort.
The rim is what caught my attention.
Here are a few more pieces that were found while thrift store shoppping.
It's fun to find such treasures!Thanks so much for visiting, I truly love reading your comments.
Enjoy your day!
I'm also linking with Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for her Metamorphosis Monday.
And

What great deals on you silver! I sure hope that thrift shops don't read Silver Sunday or we'll all be crying the blues...thank goodness they think that tarnished silver is worth that much! thanks for sharing your finds!

These are just beautiful pieces! And you're right - the tarnish when cleaned does look quite stunning - I'm gonna have to try it on a few pieces. I've never been a fan of silver until the tarnished pieces became popular, but the shiny silver does make that piece look better.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tray transformation, you can't beat the streaming gleam that silver casts. Love all your trays mostly the first ornate one. All your silver collections is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLinda
