Silverware

When I was just a little girl of about 2 years old, I had a very fun time once (fun for me anyway).  According to my Mom, she was in another part of the apartment doing something when she heard many of the Chinese people congregating, laughing and shouting from the street below right by our apartment building.  When she went to investigate she found me on the balcony throwing the silverware and money down to them.   Apparently I found the chest with the silverware in it and threw a few pieces down.  When the people saw them they began applauding and laughing.  Of course, I continued making them happy by throwing more silverware as well as coins.  The fun stopped when my Mother brought me inside.  

Years later when I became engaged it was the custom for the bride to pick out "her pattern".  My choice of sterling was Legato by Towle.  I really loved this simple, curved, elegant look and have enjoyed using my silver on many occasions.  I love to have fancy dinners and use nice linens, china and silver.  It is fun to prepare a nice meal and share it with family or friends.  I really do enjoy entertaining.
