Shine On!

This lonely little pitcher was cast aside, dirty and tarnished with what looked like a lifetime of neglect. 

“Buy me!   You know what  lies beneath.  I'm heavy, I'm 9" tall and  I promise to shine for you if only you will take me home with you! ” it said.  

 "I’m only  99 cents."

Sold. 

Slowly it began to reveal itself.  Polish and a lot of elbow grease later it produced a  happy shine!

  

Oh!  It wasn’t perfect but it shined like the silver it was. 

  

It even reflected!

In full and glowing color.

With the saturation turned down and only a tint of color.

And in black and white.

It was happy.

Sometimes you never know what will be revealed until you put a little shine on it.     ~Honey

Until next time, Honey

Really Thrify Find & Giveaway Reminder

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.
