Silver Sunday!

Well, here I was being all organised because today was the day my silverware house hunt began for the blog party. Apart from the kitchen, silver is a wee bit scarce at our place. I did love the look of the sunlight gleam from this silver key though.




I thought I would try and take some macro shots without getting them all blurry. This is of a silver star lantern by our window. The rest of the pictures I took look like blobs.I was stumped. Apart from the cooker, silver was not glistening anywhere I could see. That night I lit a few candles and Eurekea! There it was. I have a got a piece of silverware!



This was orginally an aromatherpay oil burner until the glass dish exploded one day (if you have one, be warned and be careful!)I loved it that much I kept it as a tea light holder. I have had it years now, and I would be really sad if I lost it. A new one would just not be the same, you know what I mean? Anyway this wee party has made me realise I gotta get more silverware! (Does the fire grate count?)
I also now have an incentive

I have bought silver polish!

Have a good week everyone!

  1. Is there really such a thing as Long Term Silver polish? I think that shining silver is a weekly event!

  3. Wow, that really is so pretty as a votive holder. Bet no one would know it was ever meant for anything else!

    Wonderful Silver Sunday post!

  4. I really like your votive holder. Perhaps you'll be able to find a little pyrex dish to replace the one that exploded?
    Hope you'll stop in and enter my giveaways!
    Happy Silver Sunday.
