A Cutlery Moment

The other week while getting ready
 for the street  Christmas Progressive dinner party.

Was cleaning the silver cutlery
 as you do.

Remembered a family story  relating to silver cutlery.

Way back when Mum and Dad 
celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.... Silver of course

 we
 as in all the kids
 clubbed together 
and bought them a lovely 6 piece setting of silver cutlery.

All good 
the set rolled out 
and enjoyed over the years.

My Sister P inherited this set.

Unfortunately when found
 somehow the dinner knives of the set were missing.

A real mystery.

My Sister P was very upset and refused to have them.
 For some reason I quietly took the remaining set.

Adding some visuals
Photos of Christmas do.

Mains at our place for the Christmas Party

20  of these settings ready and waiting

The feasting in Progress

Anyways 
back to the tale.

Many years passed, 
 a move to Tassie for us,
where I became a keen auction goer.

Imagine my delight
 one day while at the auctions
and ratting through all the sundries
 I spied a scungy box 
with some of the cutlery
 to match Mum and Dads.

Quickly made a bid 
success
the scungy box and cutlery was all mine.

Now here comes the real tale.

In this box were 
in total 
12 yes 12 of the Dinner knives
 that were missing from Mum and Dads set. 

It gets better.

Along with them were a matching
 6 of everything else,
 of all the other forks knives spoons etc.

 Upshot
 my sister P is now
 the proud owner of a complete
 matching 12 piece setting
of a silver cutlery set.

Coincidence or what.

Dead set spooky.

This cutlery set was purchased in SA the 1960's
used in SA and Qld 
and re-completed from Tassie in 2006.

xDee

P.S Christmas is upon us, then New Year then a visit up to the Gorgeous Ones 
counting down the sleeps.
