Silver on my birthday

My birthday present to myself was to spend Saturday

out of the house -- alone -- doing what I wanted to do.

All possible thanks to my loving husband,

I visited a gift shop that features local crafts,
a large thrift store and a small flea market.

My favorite finds, by far, were the two boxes
of mixed silverplate flatware from the thrift store.
I took a risk in buying them but after looking them up
on replacements.com, I saw that my hunch paid off.

Half of them are in  Red Hen Studios Etsy shop already.
Marked "Harmony House Plate AA+," they date to 1944
and are all in the Serenade Pattern by Wallace Silver.
