Ideas for Using Your Silver
Yay, it’s Friday! I am looking forward to the weekend of course. I do not have a lot of things planned. I will be taking some time off next week. I just plan on staying home, cleaning and re-organizing our daughter’s room, doing a bit of wall washing, and doing more small cleaning tasks. I may also plan on visiting an antique store. There is also a new Ross store nearby that I wanted to take a peek at. I will let you guys know what I plan on doing.
Earlier this week I was reading the Glam Pad, another blog that I follow, and Holly Holden was a guest on her blog and was discussing ways that she reuses her silver.

I love silver. Especially silver buckets. I have been trying to find some silver mint cups but I have not found any that I like. Holly gave 14 ways to repurpose your silver and I wanted to list some of my favorites.
The first tip that she gave of course is a favorite of mine. Fresh flowers in a silver bucket…. so elegant. My second favorite is using a silver mint-julep cup to hold makeup brushes.

My third favorite was using a silver coaster to place chocolates on a guest bedroom’s bedside table. Now, how wonderful is that? I hope you all enjoy the list and I wanted to let everyone know that the Rose Pearl Shawl is now on sale for only $15! Order it while you can and there is only one Autumn Mauve Cardigan left. I am wearing them both in the photo below. They are both beautiful pinks. Have a great weekend!
The mint julep cups as a makeup brush holder is pretty perfect. Tina at Enchanted Home just had a massive silver sale. I almost got the silver tray to add to my vanity/dressing table. Even Tina sales can still be pricey ? Enjoy the weekend and your days off. We need that from time to time. How is your new position going these days? I hope well and you have a team that is supportive ???
Yes her items are a bit pricey. That is why I still shop at antique stores. I usually can find silver pretty cheap locally.
My new position is going so well. I love the team that I supervise. We will see how this year goes with more people returning to work. I know it will be a struggle for some but I am hopeful.
Hello Mrs. Shockley,
Enjoy your much deserved time off next week. Sounds like you will have unrushed time to get those tasks completed, with a bit fun with visiting Ross and the antique shop. I love silver anything. It’s hard to come by and very pricey in my area. Have a great weekend. Can’t wait to hear about your time off!

Hi Mya,
I do have some time! I can’t wait for this week. I am really looking forward to it. I bet you have some wonderful antique stores. You are so close to the D.C. area. That is one thing that I wish I was able to do while we were there. Go antiquing!
