I can't say no to an ornate handle. And I really think they can be used for all sorts of occasions.

I am in fact, working on birthday parties for a 24 year old niece and a party for 90+ year old Sunday school participants. They are dramatically different, but I have slipped a few pieces of silver into each one ....... shhhhhh.<br />Hope things are going well with you and yours,<br />Blessings,<br />JJaybirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06140775009986030091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4715785490417606870.post-53426642309113640762014-03-05T12:12:56.666-06:002014-03-05T12:12:56.666-06:00Loving your silver pieces!!

Which is why you should ask me first to buy your silvery somethings- to know that they will be in a good home that appreciates them and one that has many silvery brothers and sisters for the adopted pieces to play with!! !!LOL See?? You are not alone my friend, so fear not. I am particularly fond of trays... :)<br />Thanks for a most enjoyable post!!<br />Sparkly Hugs,<br />Tobi and the pixiesTobi Britton*pinkpixieforest.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00304025924413575900noreply@blogger.com
