Estate Sale Silver

I was out Estate Sale-ing 

this weekend with Mr. Beaux.  

He likes to go with me 

sometimes to hang out.  

So, we were in this house 

where a floral designer 

lived and I was upstairs mulling 

over some mirrored candle stands 

and he texts me from the basement.  

He had spotted this silver tea set.  

He knew that I had been trying 

to find one at a reasonable 

price for a long time.  

Since Saturday was half off day, 

it was quite a bargain.  

It's a FB Rogers 1883 Silver-plated 

set with all of the markings.  

It was probably made sometime after the 1940's.  

It's not that the value is that great,

it was the fact that I wanted a silver tea set 

for decorative reasons.  

I polished it up over the weekend.  

I polished while I talked to Mr. Beaux, 

I polished while I talked to my middle son, 

I polished when my oldest son came to pick up his dog...  

I polished while I watched a movie on pay per view.  

A lot of polishing to get this shine back!  

But look how pretty is is now.  

I love all of the detail in the handles 

and the top of the lids.

Not bad for $42.00!  

I like having pretty silver out 

knowing that I didn't pay a fortune for it.

All of my silver, 

in fact came from Estate Sales, 

usually for just a few dollars a piece.  

Here is some of my pieces in the laundry room.

More silver in the open shelving.  

Silver used as a towel holder 

in the guest room bath.

So get out your silver 

and find some fun ways to display it!  

Until Next Time,

Beaux R'eves,
