A Touch of Silver!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and are all ready for the new week. I see silver showing up more in blogs these days so I took a few photos of some that I have.

Then, I made a couple of mosaic's for Mosaic Monday.

I found these at thrift shops awhile ago.

Thank you Mary for hosting MM again and I hope you will enjoying check out the other lovely mosaics at Little Red House.

Thank you for visiting me,

Carolyn

p.s. you can click on any of my photos if you wish to enlarge them

Lovely silver. I love the shine that silver gives to a home -- it makes it seem more warming!

Beautiful, and even better that they're from a thrift shop.
Thanks for your outstanding blog.

Hello Carolyn
I've noticed the silver connection too and I'd love to photograph mine but....can you believe I sold my dining room suite just before Christmas and had to pack everything away. I'm buying a friend's set as soon as her house sells so I'll post about this later.
Enjoyed your silver and mosaics.

Hi Carolyn,

Your silverware is very pretty. I haven't got much silver around the house, but I like it when tea is served out of a silver pot. It's very chique!

fijne avond! Lieve groet, Madelief

Hi Carolyn,
I do love to visit you...you always have such pretty pictures to share. I love all your silver and your mosaics are gorgeous. I do have a question. How do you get your pictures to enlarge when clicked on...I have not been able to figure it out....that's why I just opted to post larger pics. If you can let me know how you do it I would be soooooo thankful :-) Thank you. Have a wonderful day.

Hugs and Kisses,
♥Ana
