Family...

I'm sharing a very special plate that my husband and I were given as a wedding present over 25 years ago. It has been proudly displayed and gives such warmth to our home.

It was given to us from relatives that lived in Germany.

They were my father's cousins...my husband and I never actually met them.

But over the last few years, we've been able to meet and share wonderful times with their children and grandchildren.

It's not silver but pewter.

I love the detailing.

I'm linking with Gypsy Fish and her Silver Sunday. Be sure to stop by and see amazing silver things!

Two silver things to share...

I have two things to share today, one from my mother, the other from my sister.

My mother gave me her vanity set several years ago. Loving silver, it was a perfect gift.

I think it's the way it sparkles and ages.

{The tray is a Goodwill find, the throw is faux fur.}

The mirror, brushes, and combs are of a good weight...they feel very sturdy in your grasp.

Things have really changed in grooming, haven't they?

The second piece I'd like to share is a plate that my sister had engraved for me when I received my Masters of Education.

It's another prized possession both for the event it marked and the thoughtfulness of my sister.

I just love the details.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Be sure to check out Beth's Gypsy Fish Journal and her Silver Sunday.

Star light, star bright...

I'm linking with Beth over at Gypsy Fish Journal...it's her 3rd Silver Sunday and a terrific place to visit for all things silver. Be sure to take a look!

Star light, star bright...

first star I see tonight.

I wish I may...

I wish I might,

Have this wish I wish tonight.

Did you make a wish?

Thanks so much for visiting....enjoy your day!

I just can't help it!

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.
