Welcome to
Sensational Silverware & Creations. My name is Loretta and this is one
of the things I love. I love making creations out of silverware that would
normally be discarded because of it's condition.
This all started
because of one little Christmas present. My mother was making a wind chime
out of silverplate silverware. I thought, how cool, and how would I do
that differently. Next, a friend ask me to make some napkin
rings. One weekend while my husband was away racing, I decided to go
shopping for silverware. I called him to let him know I had hit the mother
load(one huge box) and it was only $150. Good thing he was not with
me. I splurged on the box and took home a ton of pieces from that one
store. I was so proud of my find I went to show my friend who I had
made the napkin rings for. Quite surprised by my huge purchase, she loaned
me a book and made me promise to research every piece before I cut it
up. What a good thing I followed her advice. I was able to sell just
one piece from that box which more than paid for my
entire purchase. I sold that one piece on Ebay and still had more
than enough flatware to make tons of creations. I haven't found any more
pieces quite like that but, wow, what a way to start.
My family plays
a big part in this whole thing too. My children endure multiple shopping
trips each month so mommy can find more old silverware to make my
creations. My husband helps too. He is my number one ring maker(he
can swing the mallet harder than I can). Besides, who would turn down that
kind of help. Here we are some nine years later. We make a little
bit of everything and more ideas come regularly.
If you don't see
what you had in mind, let me know and we'll try and make that special piece just
for you. I have even made special orders using customers family
pieces. That makes the item even more special to the customer and keeps
the life of the silverware going.
We make napkin
rings, crosses, keyrings, bracelets, pendants, earrings, rings, money
clips, vases, posie pins, wind chimes, yard stakes, garden markers,
book-ends, Christmas ornaments, and more. I can even keep my eyes
open for the silverware pattern you collect. I have a few
customers who I just send vintage flatware to. They collect certain
patterns and are always appreciative of the extra eyes looking out for their
favorite patterns.
There is quite a bit
of decoration, beauty and style in some of the older patterns and we really
enjoy finding those.
