My First Silver Sunday...

Welcome to my first Silver Sunday, hosted by the beautiful Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal. What a great way to start the new year! Thanks for hosting the party, Betty.

Have a look at some of my silver "pretties", and then head over to Betty's blog (by clicking the Silver Sunday photo) to see who else is participating.

My "vintage" British baby spoon and "pusher".

These were my own baby utensils. I learned to feed myself with these exact tools. British children (of which I was one), learn to use a knife properly by practicing with the pusher to feed themselves. I just love that my mum saved these for me. (Thanks, Mum!)

My set of sterling silver British apostle spoons.

Each spoon in the set has a figure on the end of the handle meant to represent one of Christ's apostles. This set has 12 apostle spoons and sugar tongs. I believe a complete set would also have a "Master" spoon, which would represent Jesus. I searched long and hard to find a set of twelve and found them in their original case on eBay. It was only later that I learned there were sets that included the thirteenth spoon. (You can click here to link to a photo and information about a complete 13 spoon set.)

Thanks for visiting! I hope you enjoy visiting all the participants in Gypsy Fish Journal's "Silver Sunday".
