Mercury and Old Silver


I love old, tarnished silver.  Combined with beautiful mercury pieces, I think it makes a gorgeous combination.

My Mom used to tell me that she was going to come to my house sometime when I was gone and polish up all of my old silver!!  She could hardly stand the unpolished silver.  

Hers was always shiny and bright.

But, I still like the drastic comparison between the sparkles of the Mercury glass and the old unpolished silver.

Enjoy!

Till next time, Judy

  2. Hahahaha...that's just what I told Gina the other day...that I was going to go over when she was gone and polish her silver! That so funny. Your arrangement looks wonderful though. I love it that you almost always have a bird in them. I have birds all over my house.

    Cheery wave!

  3. That works for me, I am always collecting various pieces of old silver, I like the tarnish, it means it was well loved.

  11. That is a gorgeous combination! Love the cream pitcher. It was a relief when tarnished silver became so popular. I do have to polish flatware though. I think tarnished forks, etc. can look beautiful when styled by others but I can't pull it off and I want my fork polished when I eat from it!
    This is really pretty, Judy!

  16. Thanks so much for your sweet comment on my upholstered chairs...I LOVE them!! (and I'm thrilled I didn't mess em' up! lol)
    I agree with you...I ADORE unpolished silver! I do have some polished silver too...just depends on the room I have it in. My farmhouse dining room is full of unpolished silver, but my living room has some polished...just the different feel of the rooms. ;) Your mom cracked me up...my mom is the same way! lol
