What a great post. You&#39;ve got some lovely items. It&#39;s great how you put the silver heart on the pedestal.<br /><br />Favorite polish, hmmm... don&#39;t have one right now. I loved that pink paste, but they don&#39;t make it anymore. I have to look through your comments in greater detail to see which comes out on top.<br /><br />- The TablescaperThe Tablescaperhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13046015889036397874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-86828470143522558752010-02-10T10:54:40.350-08:002010-02-10T10:54:40.350-08:00As you know Ms. Kathleen, I think it is all beautiful!!! (and I loved the red and white tables in a couple of other posts!) I will ONLY use Wright&#39;s Silver cream. Any of the others are too caustic for silver plate. I went on a polishing binge over the weekend (the weather is awful for Texas), so things &quot;sparkle&quot; around here at the moment!<br />Thanks for posting,<br />JJaybirdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07311471087748558924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-81270165855205542142010-02-09T15:02:02.121-08:002010-02-09T15:02:02.121-08:00All of your silver pieces are very beautiful but my personal fave is that hotel bowl.

How special to have pieces from your mother and that vase from college. I like to use the Wright&#39;s Silver Cream to clean silver, but to really polish pieces I use Wenol metal polish. Hagerty&#39;s is also good. I use Hagerty bags to store silver trays.Sarahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01873375271470225199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-58937693031351093692010-02-08T12:47:32.509-08:002010-02-08T12:47:32.509-08:00Hi Kathleen!<br /><br />I don&#39;t remember the Hotel Astor, It is such a shame it was torn down for an ugly office tower. Hopefully the Landmarks Preservation Committee, formed after the loss of Penn Station, would prevent the loss of a beautiful and historical building like that.<br /><br />I am sadly deprived of both china and sterling silver. I do like copper and have lot of that. :-)Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-9172270799253445012010-02-08T10:00:29.003-08:002010-02-08T10:00:29.003-08:00Hi Kathleen,<br />thanks for stopping by!<br />I love Southampton. We used to take my son out there all the time to this little private beach next to the big one(I forget the name). Now you need a permit to park there.<br />I should look for some of those photos &amp; do a post about it.<br />I love your doll cake.

I shall go back for the history of the Hotel Astor. My uncle used to work at the Waldorf Astoria and I think I may have some old glasses from him. I will have to look for those. Great post, and I love your mom&#39;s silver. My mom gave hers away years ago because she didn&#39;t like polishing it...can you imagine. And as I recall I always polished it. Oh well...

Either of those and elbow grease is a good combination.Cathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16675573152135600754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-6156419867661449762010-02-07T20:52:58.877-08:002010-02-07T20:52:58.877-08:00Kathleen...you have so many lovely silver pieces. The little spoon is darling and also the BC your mother collected is very pretty.<br /><br />The Hotel Astor bowl is a wonderful piece of &#39;Old New York&#39;.<br />I remember it well from when I worked in the city. Also, it brought back memories of when my Aunt &amp; Uncle would dine their for special occasions. <br />My favorite silver polish is Wrights. Do you remember when they used the Pink Liquid Glass Wax?plainjanehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15753455745422037155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-40661907266804989092010-02-07T20:43:08.782-08:002010-02-07T20:43:08.782-08:00I can&#39;t believe you got those silver hearts 3 for $1.00. I would have bought a bunch to use as place cards for my table. I guess I use toothpaste a lot...nothing expensive like dollar store stuff. I was just reading in the March issue of Country Living that if you put a piece of chalk with your silverware, it helps to keep the moisture out. Thought I would pass it on.Sherriehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01222704976945620047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2318334172681612322.post-20836140216967138092010-02-07T20:28:38.239-08:002010-02-07T20:28:38.239-08:00Hagerty!<br /><br />You have some beautiful pieces!

I love anything &quot;hotel&quot;. Hotel stuff is always pretty AND so industructable! Did those silver hearts come with stands, or did you just right that up? So pretty and what a deal on those. Your mother&#39;s flatware is beautiful and I love that it is monogramed. (We used to be able to buy almost anything by saving coupons). I can&#39;t say that any silver polish is a favorite, since I hate t polish silver. When I am forced to polish my flatware, I use Hagerty&#39;s. I&#39;ve always read that the dip polishes (which do an amazingly wonderful and quick job of it) will damage the silver, so I don&#39;t use those. Every polish I have ever tried smells like rotten eggs, my hands, my apron, and my countertop are covered in black when I&#39;m through.

My brothers in Centerport and Stony Brook didn&#39;t get any -- neither did we. <br /><br />Love your Norwegian ladle -- I have some Norwegian silver and pewter, some old family pieces, some newer. It&#39;s all beautiful.<br /><br />Silver polish -- I usually use Wright&#39;s cream; it&#39;s gentle and a lot of my stuff is silverplate and can&#39;t take a lot of polishing.<br /><br />Ummm... truffles. Yum. And I love your header!
