Remember the treasures I told you about at the Sleepy Poet Antique Mall in Charlotte, NC? It was there I found this great buy.........the three piece silver plated pot with sugar and creamer, plus the tray they sat on......all for $18.00.
For the time being I'm displaying this set in the secretary in the guest room, which, as you can guess, is because I've run out of little nooks to place irresistible treasures!
Still quite 'silver' and shining, I know these pretties will eventually start to tarnish.................and no prompting will make me polish them!
Other 'silvery finds' at the POET......................................
The tag reads, "Old rusty crusty dust pan, perfect for a candle". What a good idea - and I have one already so know what to do with it now!
Gorgeous serviette rings - kicking myself for not buying them!
With Christmas coming and decorating on our minds, silver items always look special, reflecting tiny white lights, holding glowing candles and serving special treats. I can see the unusual shaped glass jar on the shelf full of candy, the bowl and plates offering cookies, mince pies and chocolates.
Are you 'silver' or 'gold' when it comes to decorating for Christmas? Of course the two mixed can be awesome too and both are exquisite mixed with white. Gold perhaps warmer in the firelight, silver bright and glistening, especially if you are lucky enough to celebrate where there is snow outside the windows.
Have you started decorating for the holiday season, or do you wait until Thanksgiving is over, the turkey leftovers eaten and the china packed away? I haven't done a thing yet but realize I must get a move on......................and soon!
