Silver all around

Yesterday I got the chance to go to my neighborhood's flea market.  It was months since the last time I went, and as usual there were lots to look at.

Hubby came with me, he is liking this kind of trips :) He takes his time looking for cables, music, and tools, while I take my time with things that I can use around the house for decoration.

This time my eyes got fixated on silver objects.  Wherever I looked they looked back at me!  Of course, that's what I got besides this old tray that the owner told me had been in her house for the past 25 years!

I was looking for a tray and this one was in pretty good shape.  After a good cleaning, removing the hideous floral, and painting it, the two dollars I spent are going to be a good investment.

But what I'm most happy about is for this "collection" of silver that was just 10 bucks!

Silver cups, compotes, candlesticks, and

trays!

I arranged my loot on one of the family room bookcases and took some pictures as they were, with their dirty look!

The thing is, I kind of like that dirty, tarnished look!

But I also love the shiny look of silver.   Now the question is, which ones am I going to polish?
