Joining in the first Silver Sunday at the Gypsy Fish Journal hosted by the fabulous Betty... Jump over to visit Betty and check out the list on her sidebar for other participants... perhaps you'll join in yourself!In November, my sister decided to send me my half of Mother's Silver. Sister doesn't use silver... she's a more practical kinda girl... but I made her keep half because of the sentiment... That's the kinda girl I am...
It came a little tarnished... not having been used in many years... Mother lived in a nursing home the last year of her life and passed away in February of 2007. Sister has been trying to get me to take the silver ever since...
So, as I do with all my silver... I polished away... and as I did... I began to feel the love for this precious gift grow within my heart...
The silver was marked Reed & Barton... but I didn't know what the pattern was... Thankfully, my blogging friend Mimi at In the Middle of Nowhere, did. This is a 1954 Reed & Barton pattern... Classic Rose... and this was my mother's wedding silver...
Then, as it should be, I used Mother's silver on New Year's Day for a simple meal of Black-Eyed Peas, Pork and Potatoes...
and perhaps, Mother was looking down and smiling on us...Happy New Year to one and all... and Happy 1st Silver Sunday...
