A Vintage Moment

About a year ago I bought  a half dozen vintage silver spoons only because I found them beautiful.

So little for such pleasure from opening a  drawer and seeing them gleam like smiles.

I love it when things are accidentally beautiful.

Then I had a vision. Much of what I do in life starts that way.

I do love vintage silverware and dishes. All girly and romantic looking.

.No more cutlery drawer for me. It's a silverware drawer now. La-dee-da : )

Things have gotten out of hand. Oh my! The silverware drawer is too small.
Left over silverware  is much nicer than some leftovers others I've had.

A dreamy day of wondering through shops and oh well, you know how it goes!
 My way of taking a mini holiday is to visit places just to look. Sometimes the displays or products take my breath away. I learned long ago just to enjoy them, however today I found myself truly gripped by madness.

Now there's a few too many pink inspired plates.

I'm well on my way to a setting a table in that most beautiful and rare Snowflake pattern I've always lusted after. It's a magical pattern, for almost all who dine can find one place perfectly suited to them.

 It's simply because no two pieces are alike.

I have a wonderful plan for a few of the left overs. You  however will have to wait and see.

Do any of your mini holidays turn into collections?
