When I read that Silver was this weeks photo hunt, my first thought was my wedding ring, which I think of as silver, but it is really white gold, so that didn't count. And then I thought of this
But that's not silver I hear you cry, thats wood. She mustn't know anything. But wait a minute let me open it. This box is a very precious gift from my Nana.
See this is my Nana's silver cutlery set. I love this set, and I open it on an inregulary basis just to look and touch. Some of it needs a polish, but these one's don't.
They are very shiny and I love the way the catch the light.
I wish I was brave enough to use it, but I haven't yet. Maybe one day, I will have a proper dinner party and use these, and the special tea set she gave me.

Hey Jess, what a beautiful canteen of cutlery. I have a similar one from my nana, they certainly knew how to make them back then.
Also just letting you know you've been tagged by me - so go to it. See my blog.
Oh great choice. Mine is cutlery as well that my Grandmother gave to us as a wedding gift - 21 years ago. We use it all the time though. Happy weekend.
oh I'd love some old fashioned silver. I imagine polishing it would be quite a lovely thing to do. You're lucky!
yeah I don't think I could possibly take care of so much silver. :)
But it would be good to have i'm sure!
Gorgeous set!
Very pretty cuttleries, they have quite an antique style.

Have a restful weekend.
