questo fine settimana si è tenuto il nostro consueto mercatino mensile dell'antiquarito. Benchè conosca ormai personalmente tutti gli esposoriti e sappia altrettanto bene che le possibilità di trovare cose particolarmente notevoli e ad un prezzo favorevole si siano ormai fatte rare, cerco di non perdermi mai questo appuntamento appuntamento. Per cose di maggior pregio (e prezzo, naturalmente) mi reco altrove...
Questa volta ho portato a casa, al costo di 1 € ciascuno, soltanto dei piccoli tesori in argento: posate vendute al pezzo e talmente annerite che per far emergere dall'inclemenza del tempo e dell'incuria mi ci sono volute ore di olio di gomito ed un intero flacone di Duraglit. Ne è valsa la pena... date uno sguardo. Che dite?
Ho una passione per l'argento,come chi di voi mi segue già sa, quindi me ero felice e soddisfatta nel rientrare baldanzosamente a casa con i miei tesori.

Hi My dear Bloggerettes,
Our local monthly fleamarket took place this weekend. Although I already know each of the vendors by name and with some of them I have even developed a close personal relationship, and although I know that this is not the right place where to expect great finds at bargain prices, I still try not to miss these monthly appointments. For finds of a higher quality (and great prices as well) got to go elsewhere...
Despite my lack of expectations, I was lucky enough to bring home with me a few silver treasures: mismatched silverware for 1 euro each, so dirty and tarnished with age and that it took me hours of elbow grease and nearly one bottle of Duraglit to bring them back to a fairly good condition.
I have a thing for silver, you know, so I was very happy about my lucky finds while gingerly walking home, and immediately found a special place for each of them to showcase them all
It was all worth it... have a close look! What do ya think ladies?

Ho avuto un piccolo problema con le foto che non riesco a riposizionare come dovrebbero realmente andare ma l'effetto c'è comunque!

These two spoons below my fave, as I found them so unique because of an engraved family crest on the first and a monogram and crest on the second.
Must confess had a little problem trying to re-position the pics here as I had lost a couple while typing my text and couldn't place them back where they belong. No big deal after all, as I'm sure you can figure out where they actually belong.
