Be Still My Heart....

I am head over heels for silver with a beautiful patina; LOVE! I have great plans for these little babies, they are just the beginning of a small collection that I am starting to hold succulents and ferns.
What a special military presentation cup......presented to Sergeant K. Nyde in 1967.

Heavy silver creamer made by D. W. Haber and Sons of NY.

  1. I love the patina also! I never polish my silver, I would rather enjoy the beauties as they age! Great idea to put ferns and moss in them!
