This set is a mixed lot of fancier large spoons.

This complete child’s knife, fork and spoon set was in the box. The detail on it is just beautiful and I’m sure the child who owned it felt quite elegant using them.

There was a mixed lot of large serving forks. Individually, they are all pretty, but grouping like things together, definitely packs more of a visual punch.

Here’s a mixed lot of pickle or olive forks.

The rest of these projects with antique silverware, are all ones I’ve shared with you before, but perhaps some new readers haven’t seen them yet. I’ve turned quite a few sets of silverware into magnets. You do have to use very strong magnets, to hold the weight of the silveware.

I mounted this heavily-tarnished set on another piece of rough, painted wood for a small wall display.
Several years ago, I attached an old knife to the front of an upcycled wooden tote.

I am sitting here staring at an old milk bottle filled with silverware inspired by what I have found here. I do pick up bags of silverware when I see them at a great price. You have trained me well, my friend!
I just love your silverware fine dining sign and the silerware and plate displays in your kitchen.
Angie … you are so creative with displays of the tarnished silverware pieces … my favorite is the spoons on the old board that you have in your kitchen under the ironstone plates display. Looks so good together.

I really love how you have utilized the silverware and I think my favorite is the Fine Dining sign! Love it! I have quite a bit of old silverware that is currently just sitting in a drawer. I really need to get it out and do something with it. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love all of your pieces but your candle sconces are pure genius!

I bring it home every time I see it too, but unlike you I’ve yet to make anything out of it.
love it all! how did you get the silverware to adhere to the wood?

I too pick up vintage silverware, just can’t seem to pass it up. Just love the sweet little child’s set, what a great find! The candle sconces out of ladles are terrific.
I too love the great idea for the ladles!! Your pictures really make your projects pop. Love your blog

You are so talented !! I love the “Fine Dining” sign and the one you posted below that with the heavy tarnished settings placed sideways. Adorable !!!!!
Thanks to your wonderful ideas, I recently turned one of my old ladles into a candle holder, too! I love how it came out, and so did my husband!! Another old piece of wood I found on our farm was turned into a decorative piece to hang on the wall…I love it too!! I sure appreciate the time and effort you put into your blog, Angie!!
