Look what I found!!! I was hunting around in a couple of antique shops the other day and found this beauty. A beautiful silverplate serving tray for $10!
Here she is all shined up!
I love the detail...
I used her for the first time at the tennis girl party to hold the cocktails!
I have one like this that belonged to my mom, then she gave it to me....I need to clean it up too, if you don't mind me asking, what did you use??? I have tried a couple of things, but they don't clean it up like yours!!! Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! This is a great find! I would love to know what you used to clean it, also. I'm not that crazy about the stuff I use and am always looking for something better!

Hi Ladies,
ReplyDeleteI used TarnX to clean the tray. Good luck!
Anything sliver plated is pretty, but you have to keep it polished all the time to look good. You did a great job on yours.
ReplyDeleteWow, that really cleaned up good, didn't it?! And boy, I'd love to come to your house for cocktails, how pretty it looks!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's possible to have too many silver trays - and I love this round one!
ReplyDeleteThat's was a good deal! Love it! I have one very similar and use it often, especially during the holidays! Looks fantastic under the glasses!
ReplyDeleteYour last picture really shows what a beauty you found. Your party sounded like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty, and a really good price! So many people these days hate polishing silver, but I think it's a great way to achieve instant gratification! My favorite silver cleaning product is Wright's Silver Cream (made by Weiman). It's gentle, no unpleasant odor, and doesn't leave a white film the way some of the liquid products do.
ReplyDeleteHope you have an enjoyable weekend. I checked out some of your previous posts. Loved your tablescape this week!

I was going to ask you what you used and then saw that you answered. I never get that look with TarnX. I must not be using any muscle!! lol!

ReplyDeleteLove the beautiful tray and wow it sure did clean up nice and a wonderful use for the cocktail tray...I am a new follower of yours and will be back again, come for a visit
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful. I'm always on the 'hunt' for pieces of silver/silverplate. I love taking a piece and shining it.
ReplyDeleteI just love this round tray. I like trays a lot and I just bought one at a yard sale. Will be showing it soon, too. Yours sure cleaned up nicely...looks great with those drinks on it. :)
