Jacquie's Up-Cycle Nation: A Silver Lining

I can't resist old silver.  Be it a silver plate tray, sterling flatware, or random serving pieces, the patina of vintage silver is enchanting.  But what does one do with silver aside from sticking it in the drawer, dooming it to darkness?  How can over-looked silver become a renewed treasure? These fabulous Etsy up-cyclers can help!
