It looked beautiful! I have toured The White House at Christmas and it is gorgeous and memorable.

Always so interesting to read your blog.<br /><br />Hugs.Michele M./ Finch Resthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08971943265328093734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-60617369270599601762013-01-10T18:45:29.784-05:002013-01-10T18:45:29.784-05:00The spoons are beautiful.

On all of it: out of room, these are gorgeous, perfect items to pick up with always a spot in a suitcase, and so on. I have a collection of dainty teaspoons and also some sugar shells. I hadn't thought to feature them. They are so pretty and yet they are tucked out of sight. Thanks for bringing yours to the light. They are just great. I see many more in your future............<br />XO RuthieRuthie Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524745175086638442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2167015610970367792.post-25632302937014435652013-01-10T07:16:59.574-05:002013-01-10T07:16:59.574-05:00I love the sugar spoons as well and you're wel...I love the sugar spoons as well and you're well on your way to a nice collection! I love the handles and the look of mismatched silver!<br /><br />And if you travel by plane, a piece of silver fits nicely in a checked suitcase, you don't have to worry about breakage and it does make a nice memento.<br /><br />Have you seen the silver sugar sifters? They have holes in them so the sugar is sifted rather than scooped! You might check those out! An addition to your collection or perhaps a new collection!<br />Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.com
