Love the floral trim on the fork and the spoon, so pretty. <br /><br />I haven't done too much antiquing in Georgia, but if you're ever in Missouri...there are some good shops in Jefferson City (the capital), Hermann, Missouri (near St. Louis)and at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you ever get out that way, you will enjoy it.

Had my grandson with me, so afraid to get to close and really I was just browsing. Sounds like you saw much more interesting people at your show. Love the silver pieces you purchased. I forget I have silver sometimes, as I don't ever use it. Now I must look.Marilyn Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115440271615593122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-61550505996905972182014-07-15T20:16:59.811-04:002014-07-15T20:16:59.811-04:00We love to visit antique stops too.

Rice's Market in Solebury Township, PA has a big market Tuesday & Saturday - but unfortunately now has lots of T-shirt, bogus bags etc and only one aisle of vintage goodies. Pretty site!Dahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07985109093034662327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-22617509626068150352014-07-15T14:55:05.992-04:002014-07-15T14:55:05.992-04:00So pretty!

We don't have a big antique market in our little town, but during the summer, there's a Friday morning "Trash and Treasures" sale at the Farmer's Market each week. Sometimes I get myself together and make a lap through there before work. I have found some treasures, too!Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990986767552423062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-62322747363446044382014-07-15T12:52:03.743-04:002014-07-15T12:52:03.743-04:00The close-up of the silverware looks like three or...The close-up of the silverware looks like three or more box bottoms (you know when you pick up a few flat items at Sam's, and you just get a little cardboard tray-shaped box to carry them home in?) that I've been stumbling over in the store-room from time to time.<br /><br />My own silver came in bits from the family, and in droves and flocks from places just like that---I'll use an old Southern term and say I BETCHOO I've got some of every single pattern in that picture, and your knives---oh, yeah, they're here somewhere.<br /><br />The pieces get set aside or bagged or tossed in the boxes after nearly every holiday, for I've not been up to much looking-after in the past while, and I see those yellowing, beautiful items, just begging for a little attention with the Wright's, and am ashamed.<br /><br />I could just sit polishing it for hours, lazily on a tray in my lap, with Out of Africa or Singing in the Rain playing on DVD, and still it sits.<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing yours all spruced up and in its former glory.<br /><br />rachel RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-16994705161777286462014-07-15T12:33:02.562-04:002014-07-15T12:33:02.562-04:00Well, if you ever come to East Texas, there is the...Well, if you ever come to East Texas, there is the world famous First Monday Trades Days in Canton.The Victorian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08771406484767173643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-61475247479264751752014-07-15T12:29:37.278-04:002014-07-15T12:29:37.278-04:00Love your finds, and look forward to reading about...Love your finds, and look forward to reading about your freelance project.

First time in a year.

We have an antique barn in our area full of things to look at on two floors. I often go through the silver to find something exquisite that I might like but the prices are very high. It's all neat and organized and not tarnished which makes it more valuable.Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.com
