WOW! Did I have great luck this week at thrift stores!
I found all the silverplate at Salvation Army. Some of which was very tarnished. I used my homemade cleaner, baking soda and water to clean some of the pieces. I had to resort to silver cleaner for the tea pot.
The baby spoon and fork are in my grandmother's pattern. What luck!
They where very tarnished...I spent quite a bit of time cleaning just those pieces!
Two small creamers for my white collection. The one on the right is from Martha Stewart collection. I have a larger one just like it. They will be a cute display.
I found this small tray at the PTO thrift store. It was only fifty cents and made in ITALY! I will give it to my mother (she doesn't read my blog, she doesn't have a computer!). She likes things that are made somewhere other than China!
I thought I would serve candy from this small server.
I love the Champagne cooler. I plan to put an orchid or amaryllis in it. I have seen this done on many blogs and it looks very elegant!
My last bargain was this pine cone wreath. It was only $3.00 at the thrift store. My mother and grandma used to make them years ago, but they don't last forever.....I have no idea what happened to the ones they made.
Baking soda huh? Well I will just have to try that. I love thrift stores and have found some splendid deals!
