April is silver?!! Really, what was I thinking? Is there a trickier thing to photograph without it looking flat and cold and grey? It just looks so dull, after the glorious green of March. Anyway, here it is - messy salt shaker and all. Thank goodness for the kitchen drawers otherwise this would be a rather bare collection indeed!
Included here are bowls and whisks and measuring spoons; cat and elephent paper clips; coins from all over; an awesome robot made by the youngest step-son; a nod to Easter (bunnies!); a gorgeous photo of my gorgeous late Grandma; and, of course, a dachshund. The keen eyed may also spot me, in my pajamas - oh dear! (If you want to get more detail on any of my collections click on over to my Flickr where I've been uploading the collections with notes to explain what each item is.)

yes what a challenge it would have been to photograph silver! well done! it looks amazing! cute elephant paperclips and what a lovely portrait of your grandma.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Glad you like it, the elephant paperclips are a personal fav of mine too!
DeleteI really am loving silver Emily and I have my collection semi-planned.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many cute little things and I adore the dachshund and the photo of your grandmother adds such a warming personal touch.
PS Your PJs are cute too! ;)
I think I found the doxie in an op-shop in Melbourne somewhere, or perhaps the Camberwell Market? He's been my trusty friend, long before I actually got myself any real dachshunds!
DeleteOh goody I've been looking forward to this!
ReplyDeleteNow to go scooting around my den for my own silver treasures.....perhaps I'll do the corny thing and whack on some "Silver Chair" to get the creative juices a'flowing!
Happy day!
Ha! Love it :) I hadn't even though of appropriate mood music! Hmmm, you may have started something here Felicity...
DeleteOh look at all that lovely silvery goodness (it's one of my favourite colours).
ReplyDeleteYou have such a wonderful collection of pretty things ... I think I'd only be able to offer up the contents of my cutlery drawer for this one. ;)
Unusual for someone to nominate 'silver' as a favourite colour? It's one of mine too, I'm always drawn to shiny things...
DeleteLooking forward to seeing your collection (even if it is all cutlery!)
Lovely I must get my pick organised I got all my green ready & never got to take a picture so look out silver here I come, gosh saying that I hope I can find some interesting pieces around the house i am on a mission, your grandmar looked lovely :)))
ReplyDeleteSorry you missed green! The year is flying by isn't it?
DeleteSilver is fantastic! There is such an array of shine and texture reflecting colour. You've set the bar very high but I hope to put together a strong collection too.
ReplyDeleteI just know your collection will be stunning, looking forward to seeing it
DeleteLovely collection Emily! My favourite bits are the robot and the dachshund - too cute!
ReplyDeleteooh shiny shiny silver, love your collection :-)
ReplyDeletedidn't really think of raiding the kitchen for mine, love the three spoons with the girl handles and the dachshund!
