Silver!

I adore silver and am always on the hunt for interesting pieces.

My latest finds are these beautiful pots. The coffee pot was black when I found it and as I polished with love the fabulous patina began to come through.  The little spoons I have collected for years, they need a bit of polish!

The dust has been flying around Casa de Moore, Mr. MD has been out of town for weeks and will be home for the weekend and my son and his girlfriend are coming too!  Oh that sure makes for a happy mommy!

Silver

Silver is  my 'go to' metal in decor and jewelry. See some more of my love here.

I love it's character whether smooth or etched or brimming with detail.

Of late I am on the search for some interesting napkin rings for the wedding rehearsal dinner I am planning.

Have you seen a napkin clip before?

I wonder the history behind the monogramming?  

Whose table did this adorn?

A simple twist, perfect design for jewelry as well as the table.

I set our table every night with silver napkin rings.

Silver in its pure form is soft and the same is true of most other precious metals.

In days of old, the accumulation 

of Silver and Precious Metals 

became the main means of preserving one's wealth.

Inspiration for table decor for the dinner...silver is such a beautiful compliment to most table settings!

Setting Silver!

I LOVE Silver! I like to decorate with it and wear it. All of my jewelry is SILVER, except my wedding band. When selecting home accessories, that is what I usually oooh and aaaah over!

A lovely non-traditional tea set.

Fun collection of spoons....

Silver rimmed plates....beautiful.

Small arrangement of flowers....oh and the mirror....lovely.

I've posted this photo before....just love it. Eucalyptus is one of my favorite greenery.

This is my own....

...a closer look. REALLY NEED to polish that silver!

Dessert anyone? Love the mixture of colors and SILVER!

What is your favorite element to decorate with? What do you naturally gravitate towards?

Be sure and visit Susan at Between Naps on the Porch today and see how others are setting their tables on this Tablescape Thursday.

Silver and Flowers

I love silver.....and ...flowers....fresh ones.  I  am not flowery in my decor but anytime I can find something silver and put flowers in it, I love it!  I recently bought this lamp from Tar-jay...isn't it great?  While I was on my trip this past weekend I found this little sterling jammer.  Mike (DH) was with me and said, "there are no spoons" and I said, "that's OK, I am going to use it for flowers!"

Since there are no floral shops near me I found an acceptable bouquet at the grocery store and tore it all apart.

I also found at Home Goods yesterday a little apertif glass and thought.....great for flowers.

I has just a touch of my favorite green in it....that's another post later!

So don't you think it came together nicely?

While a little "top" heavy, this looks like a nose-gay.  I got a bit carried away!

Setting a Pretty Table

I so much enjoy setting a pretty table…in my collection of silver I can always find interesting ways to use the pieces I have. It is lovely to layer different plates on top of one another. Why not go here to see how others decorate their tables?
