My mother has long had a love affair with silver flatware, and she has seen to it that her daughters are beautifully outfitted. Every time I bring out my collection to use for a party or a special meal I fall in love with it all over again. Yes, I do believe that I am well on my way to a love affair of my own... it's in the genes.

Vintage Silver

Oh, how lovely!

My father adores antique silver ware and I spent a lot of time as a child visiting antique shops and subconsciously absorbing the knowledge.
Hi! I've enjoyed your blog . . .I stop in every now and then . . .I wish you had a followers gadget so I could easily check your posts . . .I found you on Blog of Note when I was a newbie blogger, and you inspired me! I love my grandmother's silver in the same way! Keep blogging for His glory! You shine!
Nice shot, MG! I love my vintage set, too. It is special because WT brought it back from Russia. I spent a long time polishing it up before the holidays. I only use it a few times a year and always forget how much I do love it.
i love it when beautiful things feed the spirit, soul, and belly...
Hurrah! You really helped me out a lot!!!! I've got you on my reading list now! Thanks a bunch! I have so much to learn about this bloggie world! God bless you!!!!
Thank you for the little elephant! He always makes me smile! :)
What pattern is that and who made it? It reminds me of an old Oneida pattern. I have a fascination with all kinds of flatware. ;D Just ask anyone who has ever had me over for dinner.
Hello dear friend!
Lovin' your silver flatware! It's beautiful!
Modgirl, you would love seeing my mother's table set for a special occasion; pink depression glass and gold flatware....or maybe her mother's china with spring flowers, embroidered table cloths with the silver serving dishes.
Your silver is lovely. I am encouraged by all the young women who still embrace the old fashioned art of homemaking.
It's so elegant--probably not a chore to polish it, because it's so lovely!
The pattern is, Reed & Barton, 1953, "Dresden Rose"... in case you're wondering!
