We saw silver fall out of favor a few years ago, what with the polishing and the storing for 362 days a year, only to see the light of day on it's shimmering surface during a few special occasions.
But all that's changed recently. Heck, we don't even care if it's shiny--we like the tarnished look just as well! And our customers are now snapping up anything they can see their face in, taking it home and using it in ways their mothers never even thought of! An urned-shaped coffee pot is now a flower pot on their coffee table. Ten of them on a long table, filled with bouquets of flowers make a wedding reception centerpiece never to be forgotten.
A silver creamer pencil cup on your desk at work is just a little bit happier than what you used to have, don't you think? And your INBOX is now safe from prying eyes under a covered casserole dish!
Tri-leveled candle holders don't need a mate to be useful. Secure a pretty china plate to the top of each and you've got multi-layers of multi-purpose cake stands.
A tall teapot can be transformed into a lamp that will light up a dark corner of your kitchen, or shine brightly on a shelf in your china cabinet.
A tray is now a place to drop your jewels at the end of the day or load one up with pillar candles and bright green moss for a quick, easy and elegant centerpiece for your table.
Top off vintage, silver-topped salt and pepper shakers with glitter and you're ready to really shake things up in your craft room!
Sparkling dishes become soap holders in the powder room and bowls are now pet food dishes for the furry love of your life.
Other than the fact that you might like to still see your distorted reflection in the mini fun house mirror of a curvy teapot, we dare you to look at silver the same way again! What will you do with the treasures you find during our February 3, 4, 5 & 6th opening?
