The coffee service was from Goodwill, the tray from my sister-in-law, Rondi.
I will be joining the Silver Sunday party, again this week. Thank you for hosting this each week, Beth. Make sure you stop by Gypsy Fish Journal to see what everyone is showcasing this week.
Anyone that has read my blog knows that most of my "silver" has come from thrift stores or yard sales.
Today, I will show you a few of my favorite pieces. None of it is worth a whole lot but they make me smile each time I walk by.
Four little silver cups, maybe mint juleps?
I found these at Goodwill for 50¢ each.
I will use them as votive holders or individual vases.
This 6 bottle castor set was found in Hilliard, Ohio, this past fall. I couldn't pass it up, all the bottles appear to be originals, plus the price was right! The bottles are all etched.
The candlesticks are from, where else, but Goodwill.
Finally the sugar scuttle is a recent purchase from e-Bay.
It has some pitting which doesn't really bother me.
On a recent blog, I am sorry, I can't remember whose,
I noticed they were using their scuttle as a nut holder...I thought it would make a cute M & M candy dish.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting! It is very much appreciated.

Thrift store finds are always so much fun! If it makes you happy then it doesn't matter what other people think it is worth. :-) I really like the little oil and vinegar cruet set.
I love your silver coffee set. I cannot imagine giving that up to Goodwill. Thanks for stopping by...julie

You have some wonderful silver items. You got some great deals too. I never seem to find those. I love the set you bought in Ohio. Crystal and silver just seem to go together.

If this is what you find at the Goodwill, I have to go shopping.
I've donated things to them, but they want it dropped at the back door. Next time, I'll have to go round to the front door.
Nancy
What special pieces you have! I love to shop GW too...it's always a treasure hunt! Thanks for sharing!
You have such treasures...it is amazing what people give away...isnt' it?

I enjoy my thrifty store silver pieces too!
What beautiful silver pieces you have! Those little silver cups are cute! I'd use them in my craft room! M&M's, hmmmm, maybe I'll put those in my butter butler!
Happy Silver Sunday!

Very pretty! I never pull out my pretty serving dishes, since it's always just me and the husband and the kids. Maybe I should do it just for us!
Thanks for stopping by my blog.
Hi Mimi
Well it is the 2nd Silver Sunday for me also.. You know I love that coffee set.. but the castor set has me regretting I didn't buy something very similar... They had reduced the price a third.. yet still it was too too much.. but looking at yours.. i wish i had just splurged... might have to go back to the store.. haha
Lovely pieces ...thanks for sharing .. Julie
I want to go thrifting with you...you have found such amazing treasures!
Thanks for coming...see you next Sunday!

Gorgeous pieces, Mimi! You always have such great finds :)
Those are mint julep cups. I would love to have found those at Goodwill. As you can tell from my blog title, I am there a lot. Thanks for sharing.
It's amazing the things you can find at the Goodwill. I found a fenton compote there for a couple bucks in perfect condition. That reminds me, maybe I'll go there tomorrow...hehe.
what amazing finds! i love that condiment set, it's beautiful! love the other pieces too!
OH MY What lovely pieces of Silver you have. I love the bottle set. What fun you must have looking for silver. TFS, Happy Silver Sunday!
WOW...the condiment set is gorgeous and the mint julip cups would look really special lit up with votives! The coffee set is so pretty...great silvers you chose to share with us today!!

Love your tray, Mimi! Thanks for commenting on my post, too. I'll be leaving them as they are ~ no worries that I'll paint over those pretty designs. I don't think I could bear to do it anyway!
What wonderful silver finds. I think the scuttle makes a perfect holder for m&m candies. The cruet set is a great find. Good for you! Happy Silver Sunday...Sarah
I love all your thrifted silver! My fav is the castor set! Happy SS!!
Lovely silver pieces, and it doesn't matter if they are valuable or not, what matters is they please you. At least that's my philosophy!!
I think your coffee set is devine and at the same time a wonderful thrift store buy. I love that Goodwill. Never know what you'll find there.
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such a nice comment.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. I got to find a new blog! :) Don't you just love the silver you can find at Good will and other such shops! you found some really great things. I am not sure what my spoons are in. It is old ironstone but larger than any sugar bowl I have seen-- I am not very informed on serving pieces and what they might be.
Great finds, M!
How big are those silver cups..they are very interesting!
Isn't it amazing what you can find at Goodwill? I love the mint julep cups...so many different ways to use them.
Love your silver -- and how lucky are you at some of your finds! I have a sugar scuttle -- I use it for my demitasse spoons (which I posted about) -- it corals them nicely!
love the mint julep cups....thanks for stopping by for some chocolate fudge pie....teehee.
also love,love the blue charger plates in your previous post.i wonder if they are still available?

What wonderful pieces, and so many from GW. How lucky you are to find such beautiful bargains. laurie
Thanks for stopping by Mimi! Yes my liberty is a bell, she's from a thrift store too. After seeing your post and blog I see we have the same love of thrifting and the goodwill! I'll be back! ~ Theresa
Anything that makes us smile is wonderful to have around ... I loved your pieces and isn't Goodwill the best place to browse?
The coffee service and tray are gorgeous. I LOVE the mint julep cups. I would love to find them for .50! Do you ever use them for small floral arrangements? It would be beautiful. Sorry my Sunday Silver visit is so late but I do love your silver post!
xoxo...Kathy
I can't believe you got those julep cups for 50 cents each. The cruet set is my favorite but they are all so lovely...Christine
Oh, I just love the mint julep cups, just 50 cents! Wow! They look so awesome with big floppy flowers in them. How pretty all your finds are.
I love the mint juleps! I can't believe you found them for 50 cents each. I guess to them a cup is a cup. great buy!
Your silver is wonderful. Anything that makes you smile is worth a lot in my book. Thank you so much for the info you gave me on my jewel ladle. It's great to have that information. hope to see you next Sunday. Happy SS
