For Silver Sunday hosted by
Gypsy Fish Journal, I'm posting photos of some of my favorite "silver" items...
Above: Photo of my Cappuccino-making set, on a silver tray, of course. In the foreground is a chrome swan from the hood of an old Ford automobile---which my father gave to me. We shared an interest in old cars, especially when I was a little girl.
Above: Photo shows the stove top
espresso maker with gold accents that I purchased at the La Rinascente department store when I was an architecture student in Rome.
Above: Photo of the stove top milk steamer, like the milk steamers the Italians use at home for making their Lattes and Cappuccinos. I located this one in a small independent coffee roaster's shop, when I lived in Seattle. If you thought you
needed to purchase a big expensive machine for making your
espresso beverages with steamed milk---this may be news for you---you don't! Many people are not aware that with the items above you can hand craft your own delicious Cappuccinos and Lattes relatively inexpensively at home.
Above: And on the subjects of silver and old cars . . . this is a photo of my silver vintage Toyota
FJ40 Land Cruiser, which I adore. I only wish my father were still alive to see it! OK, so I'm a little bit of a "Tom-boy".
Go take a peek at all the fun entries for 5th Silver Sunday at
Gypsy Fish Journal , and enjoy.

I just love that swan. I like old hood ornaments. I'd love one from the Rolls Royce-well if you are going to dream, dream big. Your land rover looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
