Each day is a little life....luxury at the dinner table...

  These are my Mother and Grandmothers serving spoons. I love them so much and they are so beautiful, that I tie them with this organza ribbons and hang them on the wall when they're not in use.   I've taken them down today for their annual polish up for Christmas. We often use them, but in their tarnished state, which I find oddly comforting and homey.   But for Christmas, they must be shiny, so shiny they will be.   I long ago eschewed nasty plastic serving implements. Not good for the soul.   In the absence of heirloom serving spoons, even dressing up your normal cutlery with a bit of double satin ribbon, can make mealtimes extra special...
