    Silver Snowman Find

    Published by Pam Kessler | 136 words. · About 1 minute to read this article. - 37 Comments

    Look who followed me home from the thrift store Thursday.

    Normally, I gravitate to the vintage stuff in the Christmas aisle at the thrifts and this guy is probably only a few years old. But for $1.91, I couldn't let him spend the holiday in the land of misfit Holiday toss aways.

    He was silverplate after all.

    So I brought him home and gave him a good cleaning up.

    I actually sort of preferred his tarnished look. Gave him a little more character. But when I'm going to serve food on something, I prefer to shine it up a bit. Makes it more sanitary looking.

    Now he's ready to hold Christmas cookies at our annual family party today. Does making No Bake Cookies count as baking?

      Oh he is so cute! What a great find. I just love snowmen and this little guy is a keeper for sure. I liked his tarnished look, too but he looks quite dapper with his new shine.
