Vintage Monday - More Silver and a Shoe

I wanted to show you a few things that I have found a couple of weeks ago to add to my
never ending collections......I went to an antique shop in my area called
The Lavender House...everything there is 40% off right now....so of course I had to check it out...(a couple of times!)

I found a pink sparkly shoe...now isn't it just adorable....Do you remember the old crochet shoes? Did your Grandma crochet them? Mine did.

A little bit of a closer look.

I've collected shoes for a long time and most of them are in my bedroom but here are 3 that are in my livingroom which is where the pink shoe will go.

Now for the silver....as I told you before, we use vintage silver in our kitchen and I pick up a few pieces here and there at thrift stores as I find them.

I have never bought any at an antique shop before as it can be pricey.....

But I fell in love with these 2 tiny silver pickle forks mainly because they each have an "H" monogram....and with the 40% off, they were a bargain.

And two matching silver bud vases. I think it will be fun to cut flowers from the garden and place one on each side of the silver candlestick (with candles lit) from my last thrifting trip for the Sunday Dinner table....look how graceful they are.

I also found this very heavy & very wonderful vintage silver box...I love the shape of it and it will go next to another one that I already have in my livingroom.

Do any of you out there like silver like I do? There's just something about the patina of vintage silver that I love...it can be plain or elaberate...I like the fact that it comes from the earth and we have been making it into beautiful and useful things for centuries...now thats Vintage!
