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!

Silver Sunday!

For the Sunday Silverware party I was having a think of what I could bring to the cauldron of ideas over at Gypsy Fish blog. I was thinking that our kitchenware was mostly silver, but I covered that with the grater topic last week. So I was to going to show you my sliver and trinkets I have tucked and put inside

in my pirate ship of treasures, which is also now my jewellery keeper
or feel all giddy like I do every time I look at this exquisite Dragonfly coat hanger which attracted me like a magpie and that I couldn't help but have,
but the real silver magic was happening up in the azure dyed heavens
silver clouds swept across the skies illuminated by the biggest full moon of the year. In itself a silver delight hypnotising all who gaze at her.
I was so enchanted by the moon I thought, "Ah, a moon lit walk along the shore is just what I need and all in the name of the silver blog party, I will venture out and take some snaps."

Needlessly to say, the wind was at gale force, could rip the skin off you with ice, so as I struggled and battled with the wind to get to the end of my path, I took a picture that ended up looking like this

and got the hell back up the stairs for some warmth and heat. Madness.

Here is what I wanted the photo to turn out like, minus the shaking hands and hair whipping me around the face.
The shiny moon! Have a good week everyone!
