Silver Sunday No. 3 Personally.....it's SILVER for me!




Welcome back to Silver Sunday!  Hope it's a happy day for you!  This week I'm going to try to add McLinky to the post.  The guest list is so GINORMOUS!  I'm loving it..... remember it's never too late to participate!  It's been amazing to see how many of us love silver whether it be shiny, tarnished new or old.  I've had such wonderful feedback from everyone as well....hmmmm possibly a continuation in the works....we'll see.  This week I went to the personal side of silver.

....before dinner on the town there's grooming to be done and a proper lady only sterling silver luxuries to prepare for that special night, nail file, boot hook...then it's 100 strokes with a sterling  hair brush and lest not forget to polish our finely hooked boots with a boars hair sterling shoe brush.


The perfect evening  gown is accented with my great grandmother luscious beaded bag with the sterling frame and inlade saphires.....can you imagine?

...unfortunately I don't have her sterling compact but I do have her sterling reading glasses...they can be discretely tucked away and pop open only when necessary.....it's so romantic to imagine what she must have read using those glasses....well, that's my silver sunday post for this week....please be patient with me as I try to get to each and everyone of your comments and postings.....see you next Sunday!

  1. Absolutely beautiful! The handbag and glasses top my favorites list. The glasses are so over-the-top, my first thought was that your great grandmother could have "read minds" with those! ~ Angela

  3. You and I are on the same wave length this week. I love the fact you have your great grandmother's bag and glasses. My daughter has her grandmother's bag, but it is not as fine as yours.
    I encourage you to make this a weekly affair if it is at all possible.

  9. Your Grandmother's silver eyeglasses are so sweet. I can just see her reaching into her tiny little purse to take them out to read the ladies luncheon menu. How sweet.

  10. Beth, what wonderful family treasures. Thank you for sharing these today and also for hosting Silver Sundays. I hope you will consider continuing this each week. It's nice to have Mr. Linky. I'm trying to get a post ready for this week, but not certain I'll make it. With Mr. Linky there isn't so much pressure if one can't get it done. LOL
    I posted two last night, one for the new Food for Thought which is book reviews with a twist. The other is my weekly Pink Saturday post. So don't know that I can get a silver post ready tonight. If you get a chance, stop by and check out Food for Thought. I reviewed VAN GOGH'S TABLE AT THE AUBERGE RAVOUX. ~ Sarah
