Silver Sunday At Brynwood...

Can you believe it's time for another Silver Sunday already?

You may remember the Nantucket basket napkin rings and bowl I shared

recently, but I neglected to share the matching stir sticks for the set.
Those Nantucket basket motif items really seemed to be a hit
last time I showed them on my blog, so knew I had to show these to you!
They're silver, too...but I'm not much of a polisher. Sorry.
I think this is the last of my silver "basketry", although I do have a
tiny gold Nantucket basket necklace that Handsome
gave me on a past visit to see his brother.
It even has a teeny, tiny penny inside
just like the trademark woven handbags.

When you live in Florida - even if it's not right on the water - seashells
seem to be a recurring theme. So, interspersed with all my acorns, you'll
find the occasional seashell - or twenty. I have this little silver container
that holds my silver seashell-topped hors d'oeuvre forks.
Just a little shimmer to add to a banquet, buffet or brunch for two!

Finally today, I'd like to share one of my oldest and most cherished
silver necklaces. This was a high school graduation gift to me from
dear family friends about...ahem...35 years ago (close enough!).
It's Danish and features a chickory plant with blossoms.

I lived in rural Wisconsin before moving to Florida.
There, you find chickory growing everywhere -
from fields to farm roads - a riot of soft blue blossoms
reminding you of the beauty of summer in the Midwest.
I miss seeing them.
Isn't it wonderful how something personal like this can
also instantly bring back fond memories?
Thank you, Beth, for hosting another Silver Sunday, and the opportunity
to "bring and brag" on some of our shiny, tarnished and prized silver.

Please be sure to visit Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal
to see what the rest of the gang is showing off today!
