I've just come home from spending a week unexpectedly with my parents. My father had a heart attack last Wednesday. My husband and I drove to Tennessee to be with my mother and spend time with my dad in the hospital. Thankfully, I was able to bring him home a few days ago. He's got a long road ahead of him recovering and regaining strength, but we're all thankful that he's alive and home.
Sunday Silver
I've had this little glass box with silver lid for years...I keep tiny sea shells inside to remind myself that summer WILL come again!
A sweet little mismatched salt and pepper with silver trimmed caps...
I love this shabby-ish divided plate with silver embellishment...
My daughter and son-in-law gave this silver heart to me the first Christmas I was a grandmother. It hangs on a pretty silver stand and the large heart opens in the center to see a photo of my first granddaughter. The tiny silver heart is engraved with the year on one side and my granddaughters name on the other.
I love these silver hearts! I found them at a shop in our little town. My son thought they were pretty enough to buy one for his bride on their first married Sweetest Day.
My sister-in-law, Jeri, gave me this silver necklace for Christmas this year. I love the sparkling charm too!
This candy dish is a soft, buffed silver...
During one of the most stressful days at the hospital with my father, my sweet husband took me out for a ride. He knows how much I love antiquing so he stopped at a couple of shops close to the hospital. I had been looking for a silver sugar scuttle/cellar for months and was tickled pink to find this one! It has a gorgeous rose pattern and the little scoop sits in it's own little slot at the base of the scuttle.
Some other Tennessee finds...
A green Depression Glass caddy with silver handle...
A cut glass shaker with silver cap...
I already had this shaker with silver lid at home...don't you just love mismatched pairs???
Silver salad servers...
This lamp with a silver base sits on my desk.

Sorry to read about your father's heart attack. Glad he is home and I'll pray for a speedy recovery.
You have some beautiful silver pieces and the one's you found in TN were fabulous (isn't it wonderful to find something that you have been searching for).
This is my first time to visit your blog and I enjoyed the family pictures that are on the left sidebar. Looks like a fun and loving family!

I love your sugar scuttle and the sweet divided dish with the silver handle! Thanks for sharing your wonderful treasurs!
Have a great Silver Sunday!

A special get well wish for your dad. It is stressful when a parent is ill, one that we always looked to for strength. It helps when we have support during these times with someone special, like your husband. Been there as well. The silver is beautiful, thanks for sharing.
You have a wonderful collection of silver. My favorite is that beautiful candlestick lamp. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Kathy, what a scare you and your Mom must have had! I'm so glad though that he's back home and doing okay. Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow!
I love your silver items, especially your new sugar shuttle.
Hugs!
Kat

Hi Kathy,
I'm so sorry to hear about your father. I hope he is regaining his strength. I know it's hard to be so far away.
You really have a lot of beautiful silver pieces.
I'm green with envy on your sugar scoop find. Very nice!
I'll be praying for your Dad.
Such pretty treasures and! I adore your sugar scuttle! Thanks for stopping by my place too!
Hi Kathy, so nice to meet you. I have been through the heart attack situation myself. And from first hand experience it means everything to know that you are loved and cared for. Blessings to you and your family.
Your silver pieces are just gorgeous. How sweet of your husband to be so thoughtful to give you a break for some flea-ing. your scuttle is lovely.
Debra
O, I do love all your beautiful silver...the little granddaughter heart is especially precious!
Thanks so much for coming by to the silver post. Never, ever too late!! :O)
Turquoise is MY birthstone, too..Dec. 31th..So...we must be sister friends!!
oops, I'm sorry. I meant to say that I'm sorry your daddy had a heart attack. I will pray for comfort and a full and fast recovery.....
Very nice, however, how does one keep silver clean? I wonder if that's why I don't have any.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery for your father and peace for the whole family. I'm glad you joined Silver Sunday and shared your gorgeous silver collection, especially fond of the silver scuttle. ! ~ Angela
All of these silvers are just wonderful, Kathy! I love your TN finds - I'm in East TN. WE have lots of great antique shops.
Kathy, happy to hear that your dad is now home from the hospital. I wish him a speedy recovery. Your silver items are all beautiful. Having just been blessed with a new baby girl in our family, I love the idea of the heart engraved with your granddaughter's name and birth year. I would love to find something like that to have engraved for my sister, the new grandmother.
The sugar shuttle is a wonderful find. I'd like to have one of these myself. Someday I'll find one! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing you again next Sunday. ~ Sarah
PS As you can see I haven't gotten around to all the SS post myself. My computer time is limited and with so many to visit, I have to spread my visits out over several days.
Well Miss Mimi,

I'm so sorry about your father. I hope he's well on his way to recovery now!
Beautiful silver goodies you have! I love the sugar scuttle and holder that you found during your trip to visit your dad. It's beautiful!
BTW, thank you for your visit :)
So glad to hear that your father is improving. Your silver that you shared is all so beautiful!
Thanks so much for your kind comments about my blog and my silver teapot lamp. I have used a couple of different finishes on my silver . I use Deft Satin if I want more of a matte, pewter-like finish. I use Deft GLOSS if I want a shiny silver finish, like on my kitchen lamp. Hope this helps!!
Big TX Hugs,
Stephanie
