I wanted to share some tiny little bargains I got not long ago. These pieces were old, I could tell, and tarnished. But that didn't scare me away!! No no Nannette! Not one bit!
One of the thrills...I picked them up for $1 each! Woo Hooness for me!! :)
I'll start with this pair. They're not the same pattern and have no markings on them. Do I care? Nope, I mean, no no Nannette! :)
Look at the pretty server. Isn't she pretty? She must be pretty old as she didn't shine up as well as I would have liked. But, hey, I love her and she'll work out just fine.
Now look at this gorgeous large fork! She shined up just beautifully!! I'll enjoy poking things with this!! :)
Then I found these two little twinkie pick up thingys!!
Look at the pretty design on them. They didn't shine up a bit. I really don't care. I'll be picking up little petit fours and all kinds of little bitty tiny dainty things to eat with these! :)
Just look at the gorgeouness of handle! Very birdlike, I think! :)
Pretty, huh? I love these too!
Aww...
I just had to poke in some clear depression glass to set up a little vignette. An olden plate and an olden bowl. Just try to imagine dainty tasties in these dishes that were served with my new olden silver plated pieces.
I'm also showing you one of my favorite cake stands.
See? She's very pretty and very happy to be in the vignette with all the olden silver plated pieces.
She has such a nice figure even though she's very often filled up with nice little fattening dainty tasties! :) She reminds me of myself - I'm often filled up with nice little fattening dainty tasties myself. Well, my figure's a little on the fluffy side. Just sayin'... :)Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia :)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Pretty Woman
Pretty woman walkin' down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I like to meet
Pretty woman, I don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy...
~ sung by Roy Orbison
Pretty woman, I don't believe you
You're not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy...
Pretty woman, won't you pardon me
Pretty woman, I couldn't help but see
Pretty woman, and you look lovely as can be
Are you lonely just like me
Pretty woman, stop a while
Pretty woman, talk a while
Pretty woman, give your smile to me
Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Pretty woman, look my way
Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
Cause I need you
I'll treat you right
Come with me baby
Be mine tonight
Pretty woman, don't walk on by
Pretty woman, don't make me cry
Pretty woman, don't walk away
OK
If that's the way it must be, OK
I guess I'll go on home, it's late
There'll be tomorrow night
But wait, what do I see?
Is she walking back to me?
Yeah, she's walking back to me
O-Oh Pretty woman.~ sung by Roy Orbison
One dollar? Very good buy. I love that cake plate...I can just see a coconut cake on it! People seem to be giving away their silver. I am buying a lot at yard sales. ♥O
ReplyDeleteGreat buys, but even better visuals of what we will miss(poking things!!!!), you are a gem Miss Shelia!
ReplyDeleteSheila, so pretty and only a dollar each. You did good. I love those pieces.
ReplyDeleteSparklies!
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia,
ReplyDeleteYou did FANTASTIC!!!! ( I izzzz jealous)
No really you did super.
Great buys.
You should have a lot of fun using these treasures!
Like what 'cha got,
d
Sheila, all of your treasures found are beautiful! Just wonder if they say sterling on them? My dad-in-law has me trained on that. Don't matter though, they are such great finds.
ReplyDeleteLove the cake stand also! You and I could have fun I can tell doing some antiquing.
Everything was so pretty and dainty. That cake stand is outstanding. :) I just love it! I thought to myself.."That is the prettiest dish I have ever seen and then I noticed it had daisies on it. Hands down....prettiest dish" Hugs, Deb=^..^=x5
ReplyDeleteLovin' all of your pretties Sheila-enjoy:@)
ReplyDeleteYou did well with those, Shelia! That's a great price for those serving pieces. Can't believe you got a meat fork, a pastry server (or is that a tomato server???), and two sandwich and/or pastry servers for that price! You aren't kidding when you say, Woohooness! I'm proud of your good eye! And I love the cake stand and pretty crystal you showed us, too. Ahhhhh... now, I've had my shiny object fix for the night. I'm living vicariously through you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)
Oh you SCORED!! I thought to myself..."Oh no she did not find that cake stand for $1??!" Whew! *swipes brow* I was going to have to hang up my bargain spurs if that happened *winks* But those are some great finds my friend! Once again I'm feeling a little green... Vanna
ReplyDeleteOk...I was cracking up....did you ever hear the saying "ewes not fat, ewes fluffy"? I have been fluffy most of my life! One time a lady asked me at church no less...."where does one find clothes for the short and stout?" I felt like bursting into song...I'm a Little Teapot short and stout...I'm just sayin!
ReplyDeleteThey are all so pretty...great finds friend!!!
ReplyDeleteYou found some wonderful silver pieces. I love the designs!
ReplyDeleteI never seem to have the luck you do finding awesome pieces at cut-rate prices. GIRL! I know if I came to visit that cake plate stand would stick to my fingers on my way out. What an eye catching beauty you have there.
ReplyDeleteI will trade you some snow for it! hum????
That's the prettiest cake stand I've ever seen! I love all your pretty new silver serving pieces. I have a real hard time turning them down when I see them around. Keep on enjoying those yummy dainties!
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila, Your new serving pieces are wonderful! I love the plate cake stand and your depression glass. Beautiful!

ReplyDeleteOh, what fantastic finds for a dollar each!! I would have snatched those up as well in a heart bet! So beautiful! As are the pretty depression glass pieces and that lovely cake stand.
They just don't make things of beauty like this anymore...you sure got an awesome deal! :D
ReplyDeleteOoooo Sheila it must have been your lucky day to find those wonderful silver pieces for such a steal of a deal!! Love your gorgeous cake stand too!!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sherri:)

ReplyDeleteBlessings to you and yours in 2011!
Big hugs, Sherry
you know, you have reminded me that I should get out some old serving pieces that just sit in a drawer, year after year, and actually enjoy them :) and your thrift treasures are wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteLovely finds! Poking things with the fork ... that brings back memories of me in 8th grade math class, poking my future hubby in the back with the pointy end of my compass ... ahhhh such good memories! It DID get his attention!
ReplyDeleteYour cake stand is GORGEOUS! My figure's a bit fluffy too ... shall we start a fluffy figure club?
What pretty things you have found! I have just recently discovered these little treasure stores. Thank you so much for your kind comments on my blog. I wish you and your family a very happy new year ♥ p.s. your little granddaughter is just beautiful!!!

ReplyDeleteHow beautiful those silver serving pieces are! And for only a $1!!! You got a great deal.

ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous, you sweet thing.
ReplyDeleteShelia, I love your positive attitude. You always make me smile within my heart ♥
Hugs, Barb
If you ever want to part with that cake plate, Let me know (haha)! Lovely pics.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and great prices. The silver pieces are just beautiful. I haven't been thrifting in so long and I miss it. I just don't have a lot of space to store my goodies and I'd have to give up something...and I don't wanna do that!...but I think I may have a gander too.
The yellow plate is beautiful too...
Hope you are having a good day
*hugs*
Judi
Shelia how beautiful! Love the pretty details. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful, Shelia. I need to pay attention and look for old silver when out and about.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful servers and cake pedestal, Shelia. And for $1 each? Wow! You can sell them for twice as much to me, lol.....Christine
ReplyDeleteGreat bargan and Oh My... beautiful pieces! Loved them...

Sheila, I have chosen to pass my "Stylish Blog" award to you! Please accept it?
ReplyDeleteWhen you have a moment can you come to my blog for the details?
~Andie
Oh my, they are gorgeous. That was a terrific find.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, It is good to be back and catching up. I posted our grandson's wedding today. It was a wonderful event with lots of our loving family present.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your dollar treasures. I too would never miss a bargain like that. Old silver can be a treasure in black disguise. Smile. Your pieces are beauties. Lucky you to see a vision of silver beauty.
We are still snowed in and it is still snowing. I admit to enjoying the beauty of it all. Our Cheri' is still trying to figure out what it is all about. Today she was walking across the crusty top of the snow and all of a sudden she was at the bottom of 12 inches of snow. It was so funny. I remember walking on crusty snow when I was a kid in MI and sinking to my waist. It gave us a good laugh. Cheri' just went on like nothing happened. HA!
Stay warm my friend,
Hugs, Jeanne
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteYour silver finds are lovely! But that cake stand.....oh my. It is STUNNING! I do love a pretty cakestand, but that one is breathtaking.
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful and more beautiful. I love silver pieces and the cake plate is fabulous. Thank you so much for visiting My Cozy Corner.

You can't even buy a pack of gum for a dollar. I love the pieces, and the cake platter is gorgeous. I bet it looks so pretty with something delish you baked on there too.
