If sterling flatware is going to be used as much as it was fifty years ago, mix and match might be its future. Someone should push the fact that silver is also much more sanitary than stainless steel because it doesn't host bacteria nearly as readily. . . .Also, most folks aren't aware of the tremendous variety of patterns available. Many small-town stores used to carry only a half-dozen or so popular patterns. The retailers would steer brides into choosing one of them because it was already in stock. Today many patterns are available via the internetF Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00022998493077615581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958552655138556675.post-53273484683426516532015-10-21T19:58:33.819-04:002015-10-21T19:58:33.819-04:00Personally I think this is a work of art.

I would set the table with Love Disarmed and watch for his comment, but that would only be entertaining should it be an uptight southern baptist. I was last in an Episcopalian church and the priest would enjoy the pattern, so that would not be an issue at the table.AC Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02093561819382714085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958552655138556675.post-89038657716894841322015-10-12T19:47:09.117-04:002015-10-12T19:47:09.117-04:00Well, it's perfect for the midnight buffet at ...Well, it's perfect for the midnight buffet at an upscale "gentlemen's club," but would you really want to bring it out when your minister comes over for Sunday lunch?F Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00022998493077615581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958552655138556675.post-68060171430453652892015-09-28T18:14:36.304-04:002015-09-28T18:14:36.304-04:00An entire table set with Love Disarmed is a little...An entire table set with Love Disarmed is a little TOO MUCH. I would recommend mixing it with other art nouveau patterns, such as R & B's Les Six Fleurs, Alvin's Old Orange Blossom or Bridal Rose, Wallace's Irian, Whiting's Lily, and International's FrontenacF Hodgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00022998493077615581noreply@blogger.com
