I'm impressed you found all those pieces at flea markets and thrift stores. You must be an eagle-eyed shopper. -
This is just lovely! What a neat idea! -
I just bought a tea pot that is like yours on the right side of picture. It came with sugar and creamer. This would be a great way to use them. Got the set for $12. at Good Will. Thanks for sharing this! Funny, I also have that scale. Bought it as a newlywed with S&H Green Stamps! -
Donna, wow S&H Green Stamps... That brings back memories! I remember going there with my grandmother when I was a child. I found my scale for $3 at a thrift store... It required a bit of cleaning, but now I love it! -
I'm so glad I hung on to mine. There were times when I almost got rid of it. What's eye-opening is when I realized the things I had as a newlywed are now the things I see in antique shops! It sits proudly on top of my kitchen cabinets.

So elegant and functional...great idea, love it. -
This is a great idea. I have a lot of silver from the family that gets unused and doesn't really have much resale value. -
I was wondering what to do with all the silver that is in our cupboard, left us by our Mothers, thank you so much, -
I use my tall coffee pot for a flower vase. It's heavy enough not to tip under the weight of big blossoms like rhododendrons. -
Thank you for posting this. I have silver plated coffee pot, sugar bowl, etc. Do you think it would work just as well? -
Terri, yes those should work well too. Another tip, my mom recently told me that in addition to the rocks, it is good to put a piece of plain charcoal in the bottom. I guess the charcoal works like a filter and keeps any bottom water clean, just like a refrigerator filter does (which also has charcoal in it). Blessings, Diana

Thanks for the tip about charcoal. I would never have thought of doing that.
