Reminiscing

Just sharing few of my favorite pics from the past year...

...and praying for peace for those who desperately need it at this time of year.

The beauty of aged silver

I don't know about you ,but I am in love with aged silver and have been for quite
some time. Shh...don't tell hubby because he might get a tad jealous. :)

I took my bff out for her birthday lunch yesterday and while in a local town
I picked up these gorgeous spoons at a new little store that we found called
The Bees Knees.
50 cents each or 3 for $1.00!! I was instantly smitten and started digging through
the pile. I almost yelled when I found three spoons with crowns on them.
Can you say L.O.V.E. ??? 

I often wonder what stories they could tell us? Wouldn't it be amazing to be able
to look into the past and see how and where these were used?

So much beauty...yes I picked out the neatest ones. :)

Do you love old silver as much as I do?

I think I just may have to go back soon and dig around some more!

Have a beautiful weekend ahead and go out and celebrate life!!

Antique Silverware~

Don't you just love antique silverware...especially *PRETTY* silverware? I do and I decided it was time to polish some of my pieces again today. I picked out a few pieces that I especially love to share with you.

I think the *ROSE* and *SWIRL* motifs on each of the ladels is just beautiful. My mother gave me the *SWIRL* motif ladel for my birthday several years ago and it also has a monogram *B* on the handle. (for my last name) I think it is so pretty...and the roses on the other ladel are just to die for!

The weather is much better here today. Who would have thought that we would think 32 degrees is warm...like a heat wave! LOL It is much nicer than the bone chilling cold we have been having for several days. I even walked to the mailbox today without a coat and thought it was so nice! I suppose it is all relative. I hope you are having a wonderful day today! Blessings ~
