For the first time, both my girls were taking naps away from home. This gave me an opportunity to go out with Mr. T to do a little treasure hunting at a couple of my favorite junk stores. A few things I picked up ...
The two silver plated trivets ($3 each) and the silver plated tray ($5 new in box). The little tree was from the dollar store and the taper candle holders were previous thrift store acquisitions.
Its hard to see, but the trivets have a monogram that I think is an "M" which is fine for me, but I'll consider it a "W" since that's our family name.
The tray, though brand new, was completely tarnished. I polished it some, but not completely. The tarnish is interesting. Its actually irridescent.
Faux-mercury glass votive holders ($.50 each).
I believe this is a teapot, but I'm going to use it for water. ($3.50)
And, this silver plated butter knife ($1). I like how it stands on its side ...
... but the handle is flat so you can see the pretty detail.

I picked up a few other things that I'll try to post later on in the week.
