I love old silver, especially when it's gotten a little tarnished over the years. I know some people like to polish every piece until it shines, but I actually prefer a little of that darker patina. Plus, I have memories of polishing my grandma's silver... it was a JOB, and I'm still not sure it was worth the $20 I earned. Lol.
And I love bringing out things that are older or have been passed down. Some of those very pieces I polished as a kid now sit in my own home, and they're part of what makes it feel so personal. My grandma might not approve of the tarnish, but I think she'd be thrilled to know I use her silver in pretty much every season. And I love having that little piece of her around to enjoy every day. β‘πΏ
