Thanks for all the silver tips, everyone. That reminds me, I have a hairdreser appointment today to take care of MY silver tips (and roots).

About half of the silver is polished. I did end up Googling and got the recipe for that silver dip - it's only baking soda and salt in very hot water in a tub lined with aluminum foil. It made the job a lot easier. I plan on selling most of it before it tarnishes again, but for now I have enough for a High Tea with all the utensils in newly polished silver. My hands HURT from all that rubbing.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GINI!

Shall we sing?
