I was inspired by the photos below to track down some vintage silver and silver-plated pieces for my home —

This led me down a delightful Etsy rabbit hole, and I wanted to share the treasures I found: some old, some new:

VINTAGE SILVER TRAYS // BOW BOOK STAMP // HAVILAND FRANCE VINTAGE SERVING BOWL WITH LID // WATERPROOF NAME LABELS // “IT’S NO USE, JO” HAT // LITTLE WOMEN PEGDOLLS* // PATTERNED FRAME // PERSONALIZED EX LIBRIS PLATES // PEEL AND STICK DELFT TILES // SCHUMACHER IKAT PILLOW // GARDEN STAKES // SCHUMACHER LINEN PILLOW // PERSONALIZED LETTERPRESS STATIONERY
*All of the dolls from this shop are beyond adorable. Amelia Earheart?!
A few other items not seen above worth a look:

Not long ago, I saw someone use a silver sugar bowl as a receptacle for q-tips. It sort of blew my mind to think of an alternative way to use all this silver from my mother. I dug out my sugar bowl and enjoy the pick-me-up of seeing something so fancy on my vanity each morning.
SO chic – I love this! My mom gave me a silver toothpick holder (!!) and I had no idea what to do with it but now I keep it for cocktail picks at our bar and just love the way it looks, too…!
