Thanks for visiting my blog. I welcome you to take your time and browse , visiting my bush garden and discovering the wonders of my city within a national park; Blue Mountains National Park. Via my blog you will travel with me through the successes, trials and tribulations of gardening on a bush block.

Day 158/366


When you're feeling down,

...clean the silver.


I've never made a silver cleaning bath before; using washing soda and aluminium foil.
It caused quite a reaction...in more ways than one!


Here is my latest vintage china acquisition.
A fluted Wedgwood with gold trim.  
Very simple but elegant in its simplicity.
Mr Honey Pie said this is the masculine edition of the very feminine 
Royal Albert trio I blogged about recently.
I purchased this from my favourite vintage shop in Springwood:  Frou Frou, using a gift voucher my daughter gave me for mother's day.

Linking to Terri's & Martha's : Teacup Tuesday.

  1. Wow, Sweet Pea, the silver cleaning reaction looks a mad scientist experiment... fascinating! Were you happy with the results?
    Your teacup is lovely, so elegant.
    Hope you are feeling brighter. :)

    1. Yes, it reminded me of high school science! It works well, although some really heavily tarnished pieces needed two goes. I do wonder though, what effect is has on the silver long term. But some pieces were amazingly sparkling.
