I'm Late! I'm Late for a very important date... I know that's a line from something else but, it works for
Silver Sunday! Sorry Beth & all the other Silver Girls I guess I was just so excited yesterday about telling you about the event I just signed up for that I FORGOT my silver post. The beautiful SILVER TRAY CHALKBOARD above is the post & tutorial as well as a
WONDERFUL GIVE AWAY from Jill. Be sure to click
HERE to enter. So without any more to do let me show you a photo of the silver Tipping Tea Pot I shared last week. This is actually a photo I found showing it in it's just polished glory. Isn't she a dream? I think she is circa late 1800's or very early 1900'w. On the handle there are 2 little rings of bone which helped to stop the heat of the
coming off the lower handle from heating up the area you would put your hand on. Clever
weren't they? Also in this photo you can see the
beautiful floral pattern etched into the sides of this tea pot.
And below you can see the
monogram that had been engraved on the side. No, it's not my
initials but, I do love this tea pot. Also below you can see my beautiful silver tea strainer that I use to catch the tea leaves as I pour the tea into the cups.
These beauties below are Reed & Barton spoons that have a different flowers on the handles. Two on the left have roses, middle is hollyhocks, & the other two I can't figure out what flower that is supposed to be. I also have one that has a beautiful pansy(my favorite flower) on it but, I think someone had already picked it up when I shot this photo. Aren't they wonderful? I got them at an Antique Store last year during their January Sale!!!!!
And this is an older photo (which I think I shared way back when) of a big sack of silverware I found at another Antique Mall. I think I paid a whopping $25 for all of that silverware! I love to set my table with mismatched silver & also to use silverware in some of my crafting. So when I find it I scoop it up.
Sorry I was
soooooooooooooooo late in posting. Go read the previous post about a wonderful Art Event I will be going to in April
because you might want to sign up & go with me!!!! After reading that I hope you will click
HERE so you can go & join Beth & the other girls. Have a great week!

Hi Charlene:
ReplyDeleteLove your contribution to this weeks' Silver Sunday. That's quite the beautiful tea pot! Stop by Brynwood and we can share a cup of tea!
xoxo

Love your sliver! I passed when my grandmother gave up hers. I just cannot polish all that. I've done enough over the years for her! It is lovely and makes me remember grander times!! Hope your sweet Reba is doing well. And I forgot to tell you I LOVE your new banner!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
stunning pieces! love the monogram. and those spoons are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLate or not, I love that teapot!!!!! I love the strainer too, how beautiful it is, I never tire of looking at silver, something about it makes me feel good!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Margaret B
A stunning silver teapot and I love the unknown engraved initials ... makes you wonder who may have owned it in the past.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!

Hi Charlene,
ReplyDeleteDid you fall down the Rabbit Hole? hehe. I loved your post last week but today being able to see the lovely floral design is even better. Your tea strainer is beautiful. Are those two spoons on the right side, daisies or brown eyed susans or sunflowers? Whatever, they are all lovely. Not to sound like a total "out of it" blogger, but...can you please help me be part of this party next week. I have never done parties. I did get the button on my blog and it does link back to the party, but what do I do after I create a post on my blog for Silver Sunday to getmy post to link? (Next week, of course) There I have told the world I am standing outside the window looking in at all the fun at the parties and cannot figure how to open the door! Yikes! Did I really just admit to that?
It was nice to see your lovely tea pot all shined up and perfect so we could see the details. Thank you for sharing.
Lynn
You may have been late but you certainly have a wonderful post. I love the tea pot. What a wonderful treasure.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Charla
Now that is gorgeous silver! I own nothing that pretty....it is well worth the polishing.
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW, that is a beautiful teapot. Teapot seems such an "ordinary" word for such a beauty!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping today and your lovely comment!
Have a wonderful evening!
((Hugs))
Just gorgeous!!! Thanks for playing today....see you next Sunday...

Hi Charlene! I sure have heard about Adorn Me. Unfortunately, between Art Opera, Bead Fest and a possible Disney World trip I'm tapped on traveling for now. I hope to go to Adorn Me next year!
ReplyDeleteIf I lived any where close to you, I would arm wrestle you for that MAGNIFICENT tea pot. O, it is so so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI love all your pretty silver...
and, YES...Silver Sunday has been so much fun. I am looking hi and lo, tho, for more silver so I can play again next week. Not too much of it around my humble cottage, tho.

But are home is warm, we drink lots of tea and we are creating! Have a wonderful week! Anita

ReplyDeleteYour silver is soooo pretty and your home is such a perfect backdrop for all of your collections. Kind of elegant eclectic. I had such fun the other night, I wish I could do the Jo Packman event. If it wasn't so soon so I could find sitters I'd join you. Take lots of pics! Lisa
