We've been saving up silverplated silverware for two years now
dingy, dirty, silverware
The time has come
Polishing Day
{I should say Polishing MONTH!}
With polishing cream & our trusty gloves
The silverware went from dingy
to delightful!
The fun part
{if there is a fun part!}
about polishing silver
is that you really get to notice every crevice...
I mean pattern
that every piece has
So many different types of patterns
So many PATTERNS
{and here, I really mean crevices!}
Like any other vintage item you pick up from Estate Sales,
you start to wonder
who owned such lovely silver & what food it served
and what conversations it was a part of!
We love this engraved "R" spoon....
made us wish our last name
{or first name}
started with "R"
How many times were the tables set with this silverware?
Did the kids secretly
{or openly!}
complain while having to set it?!!
We wonder, why did they choose a particular pattern?
Did the family who ate off of them really notice it ?
It's amazing...
all of the different types of patterns there are in silverware...
from simple to very involved!
Ahhhh....a satisfying job!
Now we're off to package them up to sell so they have new stories!
