And the Trophy Goes To.......

One of my newest collections (of which I have many!) is of vintage trophies.  Not only do they tell the story of a victorious day in the life of someone long ago,  they can also serve many uses in their present life while adding a vintage touch to our decor.  Some of my favorite uses for these graceful-shaped, silver-plated loving cups are.........

                                                  .......as wine or beverage coolers.

                                       .....to hold your napkins and flatware on a buffet table.

                                       .....to hold brushes, mirrors and combs on a vanity.

 

......as vases for your favorite bouquets.

                                        .....as containers to hold succulents or other plants.

                                      .....to hold kitchen utensils on your kitchen counter.

 

.......to hold tiny brush trees at Christmas.

 

....... just in a grouping on a silver tray to show off their different shapes and sizes.

 

.......My own collection of vintage trophies in a cupboard in my living room.
