A few days ago I was out treasure hunting with one
of my friends and when I got home I found a package
waiting for me. My dear friend who has moved away
to sunny Florida sent me a gift ~ present perfect!
She knows me so well, she said she saw this pair of
candlesticks in an antique store and knew I had to
have them. I grabbed the silver polish and wow!
They are gorgeous!
Yesterday I had to go on an errand to a town not too
far from my house. I don't get up there too often
these days so I decided to stop in at the local thrift
shop. I found this sweet silver vase for 99 cents and
knew it had to come home with me. When I got to my
car I removed the label from the bottom of the base
but the sticker left so much gummy residue I couldn't
tell if it had any marks. Once home I got out the polish
and saw it is marked Gorham. A nice find! Today the
first daffodils have bloomed in our back garden so I
snipped a few for the vase but I'm waiting for the
grape hyacinths to bloom in the next few weeks, I
think they will look spectacular in this, I'll place it
next to my bed so I can wake up to the scent of
Spring!
