Turns out I love polishing silver!





I ran across a box with old silverware at my Mom's. We brought home much 'stuff' from my Aunt's house-some from their Aunt who lived in Chicago...some from Great Grandma. Anyway, I decided I loved the ladles and they would be a terrific way to display my baby mice (Wee Forest Folk). I tried several ways to clean the ornate flowers on the handles but finally went out and bought silver polish~and it worked! A bit time consuming but the results were worth it! It's a bit funny but the smell from the polish reminds me of home permanents-and I actually enjoyed that! Guess I am a bit strange...
Now I need to figure out how to soider a wire on the back of each handle so I can hang them. And can I think of something to display on the ornate serving fork...
