  • Weekends spend gathering, evenings polishing ... and all the pretty things collected.
  • Then hand stamping on the floor by the fireplace. Each letter, one by one, with the hammer.

Prose & Polish -- beautiful vintage silverware, hand stamped.

I was born old .. not in a Benjamin Button sort of a way, but in a hot tea, old house, wooly sweater sort of a way. I've always appreciated the craftsmanship and beauty in all things old and loved. The way old floors creak when you walk on them and old books smell when you open them.
Antique silver is of course a favorite. The thought that these pieces have been here since long before I have. I wonder at the hands that have held them and the celebrations they have been witness to. I spend weekends trolling estate sales and antique auctions -- not looking for perfect, just looking for beautiful. I love them even more when I can find them a bit neglected and take them home to polish them back to beautiful. It's almost like opening an incredible gift under a simple craft paper wrapping.
I have been stamping jewelry for years and only recently thought to stamp silverware. It is so much more personal and I love that my pieces become quirky valentines, sweet momentos of bigger moments, and family heirlooms.
It has truly brought my loves of antiquing and crafting to one very happy place for me.... thank you for letting me share it with you !

Each silver piece in my shop is genuine vintage silverplate, most dating from the 1940's to the 1960's. I can't take credit for what is already beautiful. Craftsmanship and time worked magic with these pieces before they came into my hands. The fine lines and soft beauty of old silver was already present. I take each found piece and hand stamp the wording letter by letter into the silver with hammer and anvil, and then polish them -- preparing them for their next 50 years in your home, with your family.
