I love the look of things that have naturally evolved from their original finish into the tarnished, darkened patina of age! I have a few pieces of old silver that I have no intention of polishing~~ I love them just the way they are!
Like this sweet little cup, perhaps belonged to a child long ago.....
and the sugar bowl missing it's mate...I think more lovely blackend than shiny! I think they call this "poor man's silver"!
So much more charm with the look of everyday use!
I went to a great sale this morning and found these amazing whisks!!! A little hard to tell but they are huge, and I love their look of age!
Found all these little tin items too~~~aged to perfection!

That sugar bowl is wonderful! Happy VBF!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the great look of tarnished items. When it's natural, it's so--full of personality, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteI, too, love to leave some of my silver pieces tarnished. I have silverware that I love to use on my tablescapes but some people have a hard time using them that way. I love them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteI'm likin' the picture on the wall of the little girl feeding ducks. That's black, too :) Happy VBF~
I, too love when silver gets that tarnished black look. Only with time can you get that look.
ReplyDeleteTake care andenjoy your weekend,
