Look who followed me home from the thrift store Thursday.
Normally, I gravitate to the vintage stuff in the Christmas aisle at the thrifts and this guy is probably only a few years old. But for $1.91, I couldn't let him spend the holiday in the land of misfit Holiday toss aways.
He was silverplate after all.
So I brought him home and gave him a good cleaning up.
I actually sort of preferred his tarnished look. Gave him a little more character. But when I'm going to serve food on something, I prefer to shine it up a bit. Makes it more sanitary looking.
Now he's ready to hold Christmas cookies at our annual family party today. Does making No Bake Cookies count as baking?
Linking with Linda at Coastal Charm's Nifty Thrifty Tuesday.

I hope no-bake cookies count because I'm no-baking some today as well. No cute Santa platter for them, though. 🙂

What a cutie! I've never seen anything like him. There has not been much silver at our thrift store in quite a while. I hope someone isn't buying it to melt down.
