Hello, everyone.\u00a0 Before we get to today’s revisit from last November, I wanted to tell you that my mom is having surgery on her right hand this morning.\u00a0 She will be in a cast up to her elbow for six weeks and then will have six weeks of physical therapy.\u00a0 She will be in quite a bit of pain for the first few days, and then will have to live life using just her left hand for a while.\u00a0 Typing will be a challenge so her posts will probably be a lot shorter than usual, but once she recovers, she will be back to her old self.\u00a0 Now, let’s get to the post.\u00a0 Little Miss and I are driving to Lexington today and will be there for the weekend.<\/p>\n

Add Some Shine to Your Holiday Table<\/h2>\n

\"Silver<\/p>\n

Do you love setting a special holiday table like most of us do?\u00a0 Do you like for it to be traditional but also have a little bit of an edge?\u00a0 Well, we came up with a great substitute for traditional plate chargers.\u00a0 And here’s the thing……they are easily found, can cost around just one or two dollars, are easy to store, and get the job done.\u00a0 We bet you are wondering what it is.<\/p>\n

\"Use<\/p>\n

It’s round silver plated trays!\u00a0\u00a0 If you ever visit a thrift store or consignment shop, you will probably see a stack of silver plated trays nestled in among the random plates, drinking glasses, and mugs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0Add Some Shine With Your Chargers<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

They might be tarnished, but with just a little bit of silver polish (we like Wright’s silver cream which you can find at your local grocery or here<\/a>), they can shine up to look almost like new.<\/p>\n

They’re Easy to Find<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Use<\/h2>\n

It’s okay if they are different patterns because the round serving trays are usually all about the same size.\u00a0 And that size is just perfect for a dinner plate to sit on.\u00a0 The trays turned chargers add a little bit of sparkle to your table, and every table needs some sparkle.\u00a0 Don’t you think?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/p>\n

So, just go to your favorite thrift store and start snooping around.\u00a0 We bet you can find some trays to use.\u00a0 If might take one or more visits, but if you ask the workers about it, they might just go to the back and bring some out for you. The tray – turned charger – that you see here in the photos was actually a wedding gift we received years ago, and since then, I have happily added to the collection.\u00a0 Happy hunting!\u00a0 And oh, if you want to see another way Jordan loves using silver plated trays, check this out<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take care.<\/p>\n
