Antiques with Silver Holiday Glow
silverglow December is the most magical time of year with the holidays celebrating all that we hold dear. It's also an opportunity for us to give meaningful gifts to those we love most, and for our homes to look their very best. GildedHolidaysilver I've had quite a few emails and messages on FaceBook asking for a few suggestions for holiday silver "gifts" {for YOU, or to give!} so I put together this post to showcase some of my favorite pieces that will cast your holidays in a silver glow! keepgreensfresh The holidays are the time to use silver at home. The lights of your tree, the candles, and shiny bright ornaments all reflect just beautifully in silver. And nothing says luxurious Holiday like silver!

Bangles of a different kind, for the collector or lover of unusual table settings, each one of these antique and vintage napkin rings has history, patina and plenty of personality! I love tables set with a different napkin ring at each place setting, instant ice-breaker!

silvercherub Antique Cherub Quadruple Plate Stand

This is one of those....something I fall for in a big way, that has Mr. FrenchGardenHouse a little bit confused. It's not perfect, as it's missing the original glass bowl that would have come with it. But me? I see it holding a fat candle, wreathed in greens, the candlelight softly casting the beautiful cherub in a soft holiday glow. {Call me crazy!}

I have just recently become enamoured with antique silver napkin rings! Thank you so much for showing some beauties!

I’m in heaven, Lidy! You have some stunning pieces of silver. It’s the first thing I look for when I go to antique shops. I’m really partial to napkin rings and I’m always on the lookout for serving spoons, forks and tongs.

Thanks so much for sharing!

Shirley, obviously we should go antique shopping when you are here! We love all the same things. :) It’s not that warm here, low 60’s, but most likely warmer than where you are. Happy Wednesday, Shirley!

Liddy, what gorgeous silver pieces! I spied several that I adored…especially the engraved pitchers. They would be stunning with a pretty floral arrangement in them. I hope that you have a wonderful day!!!
