I am liking the look of a mismatched tableware lately. There’s something very elegant and whimsical (sort of Alice in Wonderland) in mixing thrifted plates with sweet floral patterns, same with teacups and saucers, and mismatched old silver flatware, silver teapots and trays in their perfectly tarnished patina.
Last week I “won” a whole box of old silverware from a local auction and they have the most adorable pattern so I thought for next week’s shop update it will be all about vintage tabletop. I will be listing a mish mash of tarnished serving pieces and flatware, old tablecloth, silver plated serving trays and candelabras and a couple of painting.
Have a great weekend everyone and thanks for all the comments on my previous posts and for visiting this space, even though I have been MIA most of the time. Everyone is on the mend, I had a chance to do some house cleaning yesterday and washed all the sheets and blankets, vacuumed and sanitized and as I typed this I’m airing the house to get rid of the germies.
Ooh lovely stuff this week! I'm loving mismatched tea and coffee sets too, have just added some to my website, plus a silver plated tea and coffee set with just the right amount of tarnish!! Great photos too!
ReplyDeleteOoh- what a win!!! I have been collecting bits and pieces of old unique flatware for my mother. I know you hear it all the time, but seriously, you take the most awesome photos. Like, Martha Stewart magazine type photos. The kind that make me drool a little on my keyboard. So glad to know you, you talented lady- and thanks for the encouraging words on my blog :)
ReplyDeleteSWOOOOON! They are ALL so beautiful but the last photo really took my breath away, what make are they? So I can obsess about finding some :-)
