Upstairs Downstairs

Last week I decided to pull out some family silver.

We don't use silver tea services any more but

 

I will use it for a small vignette with a few flowers and some candy sticks.

The tea service belonged to my mother in law.

 

She gave it to us for our 25th wedding anniversary (um 9 years ago)

Then of course there are those little silver cups we all get when our children are born.

I even found my own.

 

 

All were pretty tarnished. But a morning of breathing in the delicious aroma of Silvo.....

They are sparkly again.

It did bring back memories of my mother and Nana dragging out all the silver and giving it a "good" polish for the holidays.

Wishing you all a sparkly weekend!
