This was a find.
A three piece silverplate tea service
from Sheffield, England.
This is how it looked when I found it.
We spent our anniversary today having lunch
at a favorite spot right on the intracoastal
and watched the boats go by. Then we spent
hours at the beach. A great beach day.
On our drive home we saw a Salvation Army.
I said, let's stop and go in and find
the perfect anniversary gift.
What?
Yes! I found this tea set for $12.50.
Everything was 50% off.
I couldn't wait to get home and polish it up.
And have a cup of tea.
Serendipity!
.....or is it Serendipi-tea?
Cheers!
See more of our day HERE.

You definently had a wonderful anniversary! The cherry on top is your silver set. I love it but the price is so terrific. Thrifting is a hit or miss with my shopping. I am glad you had so much fun and the polishing does make a lot of impact and the price would then be much higher at a antique shop! Happy Tea Party! Pam
ReplyDeleteHappy, happy anniversary to you both!
