Silver Sunday

These are some of my silver finds over the last few weeks.

Curved handle pastry server. I'm not sure of the proper name for these, but I like to use them for small desserts. I thought I used them on my last dessert buffet, but I couldn't find a picture. I pick these up whenever I see them, which isn't often. This one is made in England.

Double handle sugar bowl, with a great design. This piece was made in the late 1800's and is in amazing shape. I thought when I bought it the design was cherries, but now I think it it apples.

A handful of flatware, some of it monogrammed, my favorite.

Pair of large ice or sugar cube grabber tongs. Probably good for pickles too.

And a Christmas tree toast rack.

It will be perfect to put Christmas cards, or even better, vintage Christmas postcards like above. Of course also great to serve Christmas morning toast.

  2. I love the christmas tree toast/card holder, and the apple creamer. Beautiful stuff. How do you keep all your silver so beautiful? I used to hate polishing silver when I was growing up.

  3. These are the most incredible silver finds yet. Love, love, love the little cup with the beautiful detail work. Like you, I pick up little pastry servers when I find them and use them often. The Christmas toast rack is certainly perfect for the upcoming holidays. Thanks for sharing your recent finds. ~ Sarah

  8. I think it's safe to say that you have created a monster in me (LOL) with your toast rack. I have added them to my shopping/searching radar! I must have one for our Christmas cards this year.
