The above collage is of my sugar tongs. The little nugget of Silver was purchased in Tombstone AZ... btw, so many of you have asked about the doilies I have been showing. These were a Christmas gift from my sweet friend Misty. She crochet me a three piece set, one brown, one taupe, and one black. She knows me very well!
The little spoons are my salt spoons. I pick these up when and IF I see them. I have many salts but as you can see, only a few spoons. They are so precious though. The fan spoon is a sugar spoon I picked up at an estate sale. I just love the fancy spoon part...and what better than a Cherry Kiss!
The silver goblets on the left of the collage were from our 25th Wedding anniversary. They are engraved with our names and our wedding and anniversary date! The gadget on the right is a cake server. Every once in a while you can find these silver serving pieces at Ross, for not too much money.
This little silver angel lives in my curio cabinet. It was a gift from a co-worker so I would know that he is praying for me. I know this comes as a shock to many, but I am really not an angel person, but this one is special.
This is an odd little set. It is not silver but chrome. I bought it at an antique store in Michigan...but I have a question. I know it is a condiment set. Salt, pepper, and mustard. Why mustard?? I need to find a spoon for it though.
This is another non-real silver item, but it was a letter opener my husband and I gave to my grandpa for his birthday one year. When he passed, we received it back....but see, we had it engraved....
Makes me get a little teary eyed...Well, I am off to see all the other wonderful silver things and the fantastic and talented ladies doing mosaics on Monday for Mary's Mosaic Monday. Thank you to all who left comments last week. That was soooo fun to hear from many of you!
Who knows what silver I will will find for next week. Man, I still wish this was diamonds...!!!!

Hi Ceekay!
Thank-you for stopping by! Love new friends!
The silver you have is amazing! I just love it.
love, kelee
You have some really fantastic pieces this week. I am not really an angel person either, but yours has a very contempory look. Very nice...julie
Great silver collection..especially the precious letter opener.:)
Ceekay, you have some very pretty silver items. I love the story about your grandpa's letter opener too. I'm not sure about the mustard dish as part of the set, but I like it :-)
Have a wonderful day!
Blessings,
Marcia
Isn't it comical just how much silver we all have? It's like, oh, blue glass. It's just stuffed into all the cupboards!
LOVE THE ANGEL AND YOU HAVE SUCH CUTE LITTLE GADGETS! LITTLE TREASURES EVERY ONE! THAT WOULD BE NICE IF THEY WERE DIAMONDS! COME SAY HI :D
You have an incredibe collection. Everything is just lovely.
Ceekay, you really do keep finding all kinds of silver. Your spoons are just wonderful and I really love the cake server too. The condiment set is lovely and I am with you, why mustard. That's strange. Hope you are doing well. Hugs, Marty
Isn't it amazing that once we start looking around at all we can find? Love the doilies!
Ceekay, for someone that says they don't have very much silver, you sure are showing lots! I am in love with the teeny tiny salt cellar spoons...they are adorable. Thanks for sharing your collection.
Love your silver. I have one of those salt, pepper, mustard dishes too, and I always wondered why mustard. I so enjoyed my visit with you last week, I featured you in my post this week. Have a Happy Sunday.
Nancy
I'm glad you took a look around the house and found more silver. You have some wonderful pieces.
Jane
Hello Ceekay and thank you for stopping by today ;) Not much silver? I love you silver salt spoon collection and the tongs and the letter opener (sweet thoughts to you).
Sweet Ceekay...
Oh my goodness..........your silver is delish.......I can't join in....I have VERY little silver.....surely not even enough for a post!
I have never seen the little silver salt spoons. How cute.
Come over!.....I'm having a little giveaway.... ;-)
Hugs,
Spencer
Hi Ceekay,
Such pretty silvers you found around the house! I especially love "grandpa's" letter opener. The doillies are very pretty in the different colours@
Happy SS!.

I don't think you can claim you don't have any silver. You have some wonderful pieces to share. I've so enjoyed my visits each week.
Thanks for stopping by to visit HFTS. ~ Sarah
Hi CeeKay sweetie...
My goodness you have lots of silver you have shared tonight. I so love the little spoons. I have never seen any like this, they are just adorable.
That letter opener is just precious, and then you had your Grandpa's name engraved on it. I am so glad that you got it back. It needs a special box or something to display it in. It is so special.
Now that angel is beautiful. I cannot believe you are not an angel person. But my goodness you have so many collections, we are really what people make us by the gifts that we receive, so maybe you will start getting more angels as gifts? You never know.
I love all of your silvers, and the stories that go with them. That is what makes them so special.
Thank you for sharing CeeKay. I so love it when you do.
Country hugs to you Sweetie.
Much, much love, Sherry
You have such pretty silver things. I have a few, I need to join next week. I never mind polishing my silver. It makes me feel rich to have silver, even though it's only silverplate. lol
You DO have silver, girl! I love it all, especially the spoons. And I AM an angel person, so you know I love the pretty silver angel!
xoxo...Kathy
What beautiful silver you have for us this Silver Sunday!! Can't wait to see what you have to share next Sunday!
((Hugs))
Ceekay, You came up with a lot of silver items! I especially love your sugar tongs and the sweet salt spoons!
Wishing you a wonderful Silver Sunday!
xoxo,
Julia
What a beautiful silver collection Ceekay! The letter opener is extra special...
Hugs,
Maryjane
"Pretties!" That's what Caroline calls sparkley items. I ♥ your "pretties"!
I would probably put jam in the little jar at the breakfast table instead of mustard. OR, since my DH likes salsa on his eggs in the morning, I'd fill it with that.
You could do Hollandaise sauce, too or horseradish sauce if you were serving prime rib for a dinner party. LOTS of ideas come to me. Wish I could find something similar....I'd use it for every dinner party!
I've been polishing up my silver set to photograph it but it has been so dull & dreary here in Ohio, the photos are yuck. I'm waiting for a sunny day!
HI Ceekay
I love your silver pieces today.. the little sugar spoons are so sweet and your Grandpa's letter opener.. priceless.. I wonder now what happened to a family letter opener we had... mystery.. Thanks for sharing all these gorgeous and sentimental pieces.. xx Julie
Grandpa's silver letter opener...how personal and now a family heirloom..just awesome!
Thanks for coming...see you next Sunday!
{{gypsy hugs}}
Beth
LOVE those itty-bitty salt spoons!
I agree ... the dark doilies make a great backdrop for all of the silver ... very nice!
Happy SS!
xo
Jill
beautiful silver pieces once again! i LOVE the salt/pepper/mustard trio!
Hi Ceekay:
Love your silver goodies this week...and the photo of Bentley! ;-)
See you again soon.
xoxo
Donna
Good Sunday Morning, Ceekay! YOU really do have lots of silvery items! I so enjoyed seeing them and reading your descriptions. I have a fondness for the salt spoons, too. I used to have one that my dad had made into a pin, but sadly it's MIA. (He attended a jewelers and watchmakers school when I was a tot.) The letter opener you gave your Grandpa was so sweet...glad you guys have it now. The little condiment set is interesting, too. Someone probably mentioned this already, but I was wondering if you could use the little jar for sugar?
Hope you're having a great weekend. I didn't realize you and Sherry were buddies!! How great for you gals. Did you meet through blogging?
L, Dana
I too showed something from my 25th anniversary, a silver and glass plate. I love your goblets. Thanks for sharing.
Grandpa's letter opener is just so sweet, and the salt spoon collection is wonderful! You have some great pieces! Have a wonderful SS.
hugs,
Debra
Love the way the silver looks against the black doilies!! great collection!
xo,
Carole
Ceekay... loved seeing this. Your salts are absolutely adorable, and I love sugar tongs. I have some with little bird feet. Perfect for a magpie, don't you think? ;-)
And the letter opener that says Grandpa is precious... makes me miss mine so much.
XO,
Sheila :-)
Hi Ceekay,
You have really great pieces! I love the spoons too, they are so intricately carved. And the letter opener... made me teary eyed too, that is just so special. I don't really know about the mustard...sorry, can't help you out on that one. As always, I enjoyed your post. Thanks for sharing!
gorgeous pieces! love the condiment set, and the story about the letter opener is very sweet.
Great silver collection, love those salt spoons! Happy Silver Sunday...
you know where I found silver last week? In the barn! haha! I will be doing that next Sunday I think. Loved all your silver pieces. I am really getting into the serving pieces after seeing all the Silver Sunday post.
Wow Ceekay you have a wonderful collection of silver for someone who thought she didn't have much! LOL. I love the salt spoons, sugar tongs and the angel from your friend! All lovely pieces. Hope you are well...have a great week!
Miss Bloomers
Wonderful silver pieces. I love the angel, it is beautiful. Great photos and mosiac.
Thanks for stopping by Ceekay. Your silver is gorgeous. I particularly like your spoon collection. I may have to keep my eye out for those!
It's all beautiful girl..love the letter opner and I also have wine glasses from Wally and mine's 25th many year ago my friend sighs...Hope your doing better today...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
Lovely, lovely silver. Your condiments are you sure it is mustard? not honey or jam? now you have me wondering? If you find out let me know.
TFS, Happy Silver Sunday! Thanks for stopping by.
Hi Ceekay! Oh, my you have lots of pretty silver! I love those little salt cellar spoons too! I went to try and find some and I found some but they were too expensive! Waaa! So I just ordered some regular ones. Yours are gorgeous!
Oh, Mr. Precious told me yesterday I had enough dishes! HUMMMM...not that he's retired I'm going to have to work think this out!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Cute little condiment set! It would be really pretty on a breakfast table with apple butter instead of mustard...You have a wonderful collection of silver!
~Liz
HI Ceekay! Beautiful silver pieces. Love them. It's funny once you start looking you find silver pieces everywhere! I'm on a silver kick and I can't believe some of the wonderful pieces I have found at THRIFT STORES!!!!
Thanks for your kind words today...I appreciate them very much! Have a lovely week...I will be back for visiting~!
Debbie
Ceekay, your silver spoons are all so pretty. My mother had a similar s/p & "something" set (I guess I have it now..but I'm not sure where). We sometimes had jam in the extra little jar when she used it for breakfast. What beautiful reminders some of your silver pieces are - the letter opener of your granddad, and the angel of your frien who is praying for you. laurie
Hi Ceekay! What fun to see your silver and mosaics! Have a beautiful week...
HI!!!
So have you given any thought to our day trip to Prescott????
It would be Friday Feb. 5th--leave town at 9 a.m. and drive to Prescott, eat lunch, shop on whiskey row and head out to see/ play in the snow!!!!!
Let me know, so I can finalize it all!!!!
Marty is in, Char is in, I am in!!!
And I am waiting on Sherry, Liz and YOU!!!!!
hugs,
jamie
I love these - thank you for sharing. The dark doilies are such a great background- I would never have thought of that! After reading your post, I want to go treasure hunting.
Beautiful objects and great mosaics...love the descriptions you provided!!!
Hi Ceekay
Enjoyed seeing even more of your silver. :-)
How do you know the container with the salt & pepper should be mustard?
Hey girl!!!! Beautiful treasures...loved that little 3 piece chrome set thingy! Thanks for coming by girl....hey I have lost you on my facebook??? Add me so I can find you again! lol
I love your salt and sugar spoons! I also love the teacup mosaic on your blog title. Especially that Provincial Flower cup .
CeeKay Love your silver peices. Your blog is lovely !!
Ceekay,
Thank you for stopping by my blog, it was my first at joining in on any of the parties. The best thing is I get a chance to see what other's have done with their blogs. I just love your little header with those teacups. Thank you again and Happy Monday.
Debbie
Such gorgeous silver pieces! I love silver, not so much the polishing, but so pretty, it's worth it! Such pretty treasures! I like the angel!
Very pretty silver Ceekay! Love the gorgeous bird.
So pretty! I love silver, just hate to clean it!!~ I read your about me, and I wish you well. I use to work for an Oncologist so I have seen what you are going thru!!~ Hang in there, it is worth it when done:) Debbie
Yeh, I bet you do wish it was diamonds. lol
You mislead me, girl. You do have a lot of silver things.
Love your salt spoons. How precious to still have the letter opener from Grandpa.
Misty did a great job on your dollies.
Such a nice colelction of silver :)
Blessings!
Gail
Wonderful collection! Have a great week!
You have so many pretty silver pieces! I gave most of mine to my daughter, she loves silver things! I tend to decorate with gold!
Katherine
Great combo -- smart thinking!
Hi Ceekay! What beautiful pieces! I especially love the condiment set! I want one, too! About the mustard...I went to school one semester in Dijon...where they make the mustard..and mustard was on every table and people put mustard on EVERYTHING! lol Happy week!...Debbie
You have such pretty things! I don't have much of anything silver for some odd reason. I wanted you to know I've switched my blogroll so the post last posted comes first. Saw you wrote that in my comments and I thought: Hey, what a great idea! Why didn't I think of doing that?
Brenda
Ceekay, I did buy that doily, but for the life of me I can't remember where. I've had it for some time. I usually spray starch it so it's a little stiff, but after I washed it this time it was so soft, I just left it that way. Hope you can find one.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Lovely collection of memorable and sentimental silver pieces...the doilies are lovely as well.
Thank you for visiting my blog and also for the kind birthday wishes.
Hope you'll come back for another visit and partake in my first ever GiveAway.
Take Care new blogging friend.

Have a nice day,

Ceekay, we still have to get together. Just tell me when you are feeling up to it and it will be a done deal. I hope you and Sherry had a great day. Let me know, I have a little something for you too and hope it doesn't wait until next year. lol Hugs, Marty
Ceekay, I just KNEW that I loved you ~ just didn't know why! I love salt spoons, too! I've only got three, tho. Yours are just so sweet! I am so loving seeing everyone's Silver Sunday posts!
