It's the little things...

It doesn't take much to make me happy. A little over a year ago, I had a friend that was going thru a divorce (no, that's not the part that makes me happy!). One day she asked me to come over and look thru a bunch of "junk" that she was going to either throw away or take to Good Will. Among her things was a silver tea/coffee service set. It was terribly tarnished and she didn't want to deal with it. Plus, she said she had absolutely no use for it and it had come from her soon-to-be "ex". So I took it and just put it away in a box in our storage room thinking "one day" I would get around to cleaning it.

Today, for some reason, that was on my list of "must do's" and so me and hubby headed off to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things and look for some silver cleaner. We found some stuff called Tarn-X and it worked great! Of course, it made the whole house smell like I had given someone an Ogilve Perm (remember those things?!). It really stunk like rotten eggs, but it sure was worth it! Check out the pics below... (the first one is a "before" and "after")
