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.
Silver 004
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.
Silver 015
   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.

  8. You 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.

  14. I 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!!

    Love,
    Susan and Bentley

  29. nice to meet you honey!!
    i 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.
    i have only lived here since september so theres much exploring to do !
    old quebec city was awesome yes?!!
