amate anche voi come me girare per mercatini alla ricerca di tesori d'altri tempi da portare orgogliosamente a casa? Non smetto mai di sorprendermi come quello che alcune persone scartano per i più vari motivi diventa un vero tesoro per altre. Lo scorso fine settimana è stato mercatino da noi e nonostante il tempo non fosse favorevole i venditori hanno come sempre allestito i loro banchi con grande cura per mettere in bella mostra le loro mercanzie.
Come mi piace girare tra i banchi e scambiare quattro chiacchiere con i venditori. Essendo ormai ufficialmente un accumulatore torno sempre a casa con le mani piene di buste.
Questa volta non è stato diverso ed oggi vorrei mostrarvi un bel servizio di posate silver plate da sei che sono riuscita a portare a casa per un prezzo più che ragionevole. Dopo un bel "bagnetto" ed una lucidata (senza esagerare... a me l'argento piace con la sua bella patina) l'ho riposto insieme agli altri servizi, ma soltanto dopo essermi divertita a scattare qualche foto.
che ne dite?
Happy Thursday everyone!
Do you like visiting flea markets as much as I do, and are you also always on the lookout for some treasures of yesteryear to take home with you? It never ceases to amaze me how old things discarded by some people can become treasures for others.
It was flea market weekend last weekend and despite the bad weather I did not miss the opportunity to go treasure hunting. I hardly ever go home empty handed and this time was no exception. Today I would like to share with you a gorgeous vintage set of silver plate flatware for six I brought home for a very reasonable price (at least what I thought it to be). The moment I saw it I fell in love with the details. sooo pretty.
Gave them a nice bubble bath and polish (but not too much as I love my silver to be tarnished) and had fun setting up a vignette for some showoff.
Il resto del mio bottino ve lo mostrerò in un prossimo post!
More on my other lovely finds in another post!

Isn't it funny how rich some inexpensive treasures can make you feel? The flatware is truly a great find and will make some beautiful place settings. In the meantime, your vignette is so soft and sweet.

The silverware is beautiful :-) I like that you didn't polish it too much - the touch of patina is what makes the silver finish so soft & lovely :-)
RispondiEliminaSuch lovely silverware! I love how you've displayed it. I like silver a bit tarnished, too. :)
RispondiEliminaThanks so much for sharing your vintage silverware on Simple & Sweet Fridays. I think they're absolutely beautiful and how you showed them off is gorgeous!

Hi Rita! I love the silver flatware! Good for you that you picked them up. I passed by a set not long ago at my local flea market, and by the time I had changed my mind and gone back, they were gone. :( I won't make that mistake again! And your table looks lovely. I especially like the quatrefoil mirror. Very pretty!

Your display is gorgeous! I love old silverplate too, I have a collection of Community (the precursor to Oneida) in different patterns, that I use for the table. I also have other brands that I have rescued from thrift stores but my favorites are the Community. I have never thought to have them out like you do.....
RispondiEliminaI love your silver treasures, so beautiful:-))
