When I showed you earlier this year the book (Pale and Interesting) that my son gave me for Christmas, I shared this inspiring photo from it...
I wanted to add a little collection like this to my kitchen.
I knew there was a set of mother of pearl handled knives at the shop and went back and forth with myself if I should buy them or not.
But then I remembered I had some pretty vintage knives already...
They have the most beautifully detailed handles...
I feel like I achieved a similar look to the inspiration I took from the book, so I am happy!
And I saved money...but then I spent it at the shop on something else.
Tune in Friday to see what it is!.
I also forgot to show you the tulips I bought for myself...
I bought one big bunch and put them on my kitchen table...
I am sharing today with Kathleen for

Your knives look beautiful. I love displaying vintage silverware.
Tell me about the little jar with angel food on it. Such a neat piece.
I think your arrangement is prettier than the book's!
Love the jar of silverware. You did a nice job staging everything. Happy White Wednesday- xo Diana

You know, I like your knives better...the detail is just beautiful! But WHAT did you buy?!

I think all junkers think alike. Save on one thing, buy another! Your vintage knives look wonderful in the pitcher and the white tulips are one of my favorite flowers. So pretty.
I've got a little pitcher with pretty silverware in it,too, Sandi! Great decorators think alike! hehehe! Your tulips are soooo pretty! Love them in that white pitcher! :)

I love this style, and I love what you did with your knives! I'm late congratulating you on two years blogging! Congratulations! I'm so happy about your heart anniversary too!
I love the old silver in your sweet little ironstone pitcher. It makes a lovely little vignette.
Hugs, cindy
I love your vignette, the knifes are beautiful and I love tulips! I buy myself some every once in a while too. :)

Love your pretty collection of vintage silverware. It does look great displayed that way (even better than the inspiration photo I think).

Sandi,
Congratulations to Cheryl!
I love how you used what you had to create a new look in your home! The tulips are breathtaking!
Fondly,

I love this vignette, Sandi! I think you accomplished the same feeling, too...love the ornate handles, and the sweet pitcher! Really lovely!
Very pretty post! I'm just starting to get into vintage flatware. I would love to find some mother of pearl!

I love the idea! your whites are so beautiful. Ciao
oh tulips, be still my heart! love your old silverware! i bought a set of mother of pearl knives last year and have them sitting out in my kitchen. i was lucky and found them cheap and in a booth having a sale! unfortunately, they are not dishwasher safe, which we learned over the holidays. still pretty though!
Okay - first - Congratulations to Cheryl!!!
Now... I have to say - I LIKE YOUR KNIVES better!!! They all have a story to tell (I'm assuming that you are like me and pick up pretty things in strange places because you think they are pretty. LOL)
And your tulips? I'm scratching my monitor to see if i have scratch 'n sniff. ;-D
