Silver Tea

Well believe it or not, a couple years ago at a garage sale, we came across this find. The girl selling it actually said, it was my grandmother's, my mom will probably be mad at me for selling it. My husband, at least 3 times asked her is she was sure, and said maybe you should keep it, she wanted to sell it, we bought it. For $15. Click on images to enlarge.

The tray- it is large and heavy.

The sugar pot has a handle that needs to be fixed, we can't seem to find someone in town that will do it....yet., I love the little cream pitcher and butter dish.

a few strawberries, some cantaloupe and cranberry flax muffins


I must confess, I don't know a lot on the proper way to keep silver, it has had a little cleaning but needs more and some polishing. I see why the work of "polishing" silver has led to less using of it, but my- it is so beautiful, it is worth it.
