Giveaway Reminder: $30 Your Choice Gift Card
Usually I don’t attend many garage sales since I don’t get out early enough to get anything but the leftovers, or am on my way somewhere and just don’t have time to stop and look.
But…
Looks what I found!!
A shoebox of Silverplate!! I grabbed it up quickly since it looked like there could be some really good pieces among the tarnish and corrosion. Some even looked as if they had been run over by a trashing machine or dug up in the garden.
There hasn’t been enough time to clean & polish all of them yet, but moi did clean up a few to show you an example.
When they are all cleaned up, I’ll show you more. Just couldn’t pass up a chance to show these off.
All of that pink reflection is from… I confess, my pajamas!
Now, be sure to check out my $30.00 Your Choice Gift Card Giveaway…Home Depot or Hobby Lobby. Stop in and Nannette and Babbette will give you the details. Just please don’t say that I called them Vintage Thingies. They would really be upset if they knew. They're sensitive.
I am linking to the following parties. Please stop by and thank the gracious hostesses, make some friends and leave some comment love for the hostesses and guests. We all love comments, don’t we!

What a find Honey!!! I so would love to have found all the silverware!
ReplyDeleteYou took a chance on all this silver plate. However, from these pieces you have cleaned, you did very well in the purchase. I really like the little butter knives on the end.
ReplyDeleteGreat thrifty find. I cannot pass up silver without buying it. If I'm within ten feet of it, I buy it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Love to see all the different silver patterns. And something can always be used!
ReplyDeletefabulous find! I just found a box of silverplate in my Dad's storage unit. He looked at me and said, "oh, I didn't know you would be interested in those". HELLO?!
ReplyDeleteWHat a great find! It is very hard around here to find these types of things, I never see them for sale. I love that you found a box of great ones! Happy VTT!
ReplyDeleteI collected ones from Germany Austraila and here in the states. Mine are mixed matched but I use them everyday. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI love using silver flatware. I understand that some people don't like using is because it must be polished ~ but stainless is never as pretty. I actually enjoy polishing the silver. Great find!!
ReplyDeleteLove,
Susan and Bentley

OMgosh I would have snapped up the silver plate too, if they are too mangled you can make some fun jewelry from those pieces.
ReplyDeleteThere are some pretty patterns there, I agree with LV, I really like the butter knives on the end. A lot of work, but looks like it's worth it.

ReplyDeletei checked out your church steeple post and quebec city. im thinking i was on the same cruise 3 years ago. we were supposed to stop in charlottetown but were re-routed to st john newfoundland.... which was also beautiful
i live about 15 minutes from cavendish in the middle of the island in hunter river. one of those churches looks familiar.
