Children's Silver Spoon Collection

I love silver.  I know it takes a lot of work to maintain, but I have been very fortunate to have acquired some very nice pieces.  One of my silver collections consists of  curved feeding spoons, and  fork and spoon sets.  I like to look for nursery rhyme pieces or pieces that have animals on them.  It doesn't take much room to store and display these.  Come take a look.  (Pardon my pictures as I am not the greatest at photographing silver.)

First for the curved feeding spoons...

A Nursery rhyme spoon-This Little Pig Went To Market...

A curved feeding spoon with the alphabet in the bowl and monogrammed Beverley...

A curved spoon featuring a rabbit on the handle...

A Little Boy Blue fork with Steve monogrammed on the back......

This fork and spoon set was given to me by  special friends when our son was born...

 My husband's feeding set given to me by my mother-in-law...

And an ABC set with kittens and monogrammed WBG on the back...

A Bit of Paint, Fabric, and Wood

Good morning from Applejack Lane. Today, we are joining Barb at Treasures From the Heart in her 3 projects in 3 weeks challenge and Tam at The Gypsy's Corner for Three or More Tuesday. I had a few loose ends and one big project that nagged at me for some time so this was an opportunity to do something about them.



Number 1...
I had an old marriage certificate of my great-grandparents from 1874 that needed some attention.

The before...
The after...

A little spray paint, archival glass, and backing...

Number 2...
My pumpkin angel is a little faded out and his veggies don't look so hot either...

The before...the after...

a few new duds and some paint to freshen his harvest...

Number 3...
I needed a place to piddle so we took an unused section of the lawn shed that the dogs used to occupy and made a little piddling potting shed...

The before...
and the after...
Thanks for dropping by Applejack Lane. Visit Barb at Treasures From the Heart and Tam at The Gypsy's Corner for more project updates.
