Silver Sunday

Mr. Blessing was less than delighted when I purchased this banged up french horn over the Summer but I think it's a fun display piece.

Speaking of display pieces, I was visiting a friends shop yesterday and found some other "silver" displays...

Zinc counts as silver, right?!

Silver Sunday

When I was at the Pec Thing last month I found the most gianormous silver spoon! I think it must be a punch ladel. Mr. Blessing says it's so big we could use it for golf. =)

If you'd like to show off your silver, pop over to Gypsy Fish and sign up.

The Week Before Silver Sunday

I spotted two silver displays at Vintage Living that I knew our Silver Sunday friends would like.
But it's not Silver Sunday until next weekend so I guess this will have to be The-Week-Before-Silver-Sunday post.

How could I possibly wait another week to show something this lovely??

Silver Sunday

I have a new vintage silver tray that I've fallen in love with.

I love the tarnish. I love the feet. I love the handles.
But this tray has an unusual feature...

It's a warming tray. And it still works. I'm thinking brunch on the porch...

Hitting the silver in storage...

I heart the clasp on this old bracelet. It has itty-bitty rhinestones set in it.

Does dust count as silver???

Silver & Vintage Black

It's bitter cold here in the Midwest! Definitely no need for an ice bucket but I had to share it with you. It's been tucked away for so long, I forgot that I had it. It's terribly heavy with an old Pyrex glass bowl sealed inside it. But I tipped it over to see if it had any markings. Nope, just a $2 Goodwill tag.

I found these old mint julep cups on one of our buying trips last Summer. And, yes, I include many Goodwill stops during our buying trips. These cups however were from a quaint resale shop in Door County. Oh how I miss Summer! Time is flying by (it's almost the last Silver Sunday) but Winter seems to be so very long!

But Vintage Black Friday has come back to save the day!

Yep - right here at French Cupboard!

Linky up with us on Friday and show off your tattered, chippy, vintage, black treasures.

The fun begins this coming Friday, February 5th!

I'm sprinkling bits of Valentine love around the house today.

Hope you heart your Silver Sunday.

My favorite "tea" spoon

Can you imagine having a full set of silver like this for your daily use? Who owned stuff like this? Where did they get it? Was it only for rich people? And how did it end up at the bottom of the box at a flea market?

Hope you have happy silver musings today.

Silver Sunday

I heart these old mercury glass bottles ever so much!

Mr. Blessing and I must have walked by them a hundred times at Marburger. They caught my eye everytime. I wish upon wish that I would've bought one but we were traveling on limited funds and it's so hard to know what you will love forever when you're surrounded by as many delightful things as there are at a place like that.

This is one little piece that I never knew I loved. I just keep moving it around, using it for this and that, changing out the candle for a pretty lace cone, etc. I sold the other one. I don't know why. But now that I only have one, I realized that I DO love it.

One of my most favorite kinds of silver is the peeling silver on old mirrors.

But, as a fellow Silver Sunday participant pointed out last week, I don't care much for the silver that I keep pulling from my hair.

Silver Sunday

I got this old silver cup from Back Through Time about a year ago. It sits in a quiet place in my dinning room but I pass by it several times a day and smile at it.

Those who know me would say that I'm a tarnished silver kind of gal, not so much a glitter gal. But I got a Christmas gift from Hopelessly Romantic Art and I've been admiring the hand crafted pieces more and more each day.

Maybe I am a glitter gal *smiles*

Happy Silver Sunday!
