A Little Silver For You

By 20 Comments

Well, heck. I found some more silver at my last estate sale. I was sort of doing well at keeping the silver addiction at bay until that point.

They had a whole box of it for sale with probably 25 pieces in it. So I could have gone totally off the wagon, but I just picked out the one piece that I thought was unique. And left the other more common looking plates and platters for someone else to find.

I think it will look cute with some flowers placed in it.


I also bought this white English ironstone tureen.

No ladle, but I sort of like the look of a silver ladle instead of a matchy-matchy ironstone one.

Hmmm … then I would have an excuse to buy more silver!

    I’m so glad I’m not the only one with vintage addictions. Your latest finds are divine. I love the color of your lamp shade. I hope you can find something to use it for. Sweet corn just came into season around our area. Our little garden isn’t going to have corn to harvest for quite awhile. The deer have also decided to lean over the fencing and help themselves to some of it too. Stinkers.

    Oooohhh…love that silver piece and what a score on that tureen! It seemed too hot for anyone to be out selling anything around here this weekend. I did however get some corn from a farmer’s market last weekend from a very well known market in Columbus and it was NOT the best for sure! We had the family here this past weekend for my birthday..went out to dinner and even the restaurant could have been cooler. I am afraid this coming week is going to be unbearable too! Stay cool!~Hugs, Patti

    I must confess….I have a silver addiction also! Will look great with flowers in it!
    luckily we had some great bicolor corn at our farmers market and tomato’s this weekend..since our tomato’s are not ripe yet.

    Beautiful finds Pam, I love the tureen! I went to a Flea Market this weekend and picked up a few things, it was so fun.
    I LOVE corn on the cob too and yes, not the Walmart kind!! I am hoping to get my hands on some this week.

    Great pieces–what are you going to do with the lampshade now?

    We had a few ears. They were yummy! We’ll have to get more from the Farmer’s Market.

    Pam- I love the old silver piece you found. I’ll bet it was hard to pass up the box!!! The lampshade is a gorgeous piece..too bad it doesn’t fit the lamp…Now you will have to find a lamp to fit it!;>) xo Diana

    There is just something about a piece of white ironstone that is beautiful in its simplicity.

    Love that little Jadite or Jadeite or just plain GREEN lampshade.

    You could set it in a little pedestal dish, like it is, and set a tea light in it …or jurn it upside down and set a short pillar candle in it. Either way the candle’s glow through the green has to look good 😉
