Little Silver Sugar Scuttle



Raise your hand if you got a sugar scuttle after seeing it on Susan's of Between Naps On The Porch? You know who you are! I fell in love at first sight and honey,I couldn't get on e-bay fast enough to look for one! It took me three bidding attempts to finally win one. So far, I haven't used it once for sugar, but it has had some Valentine's conversation hearts, and some white mints (for a snow themed luncheon) in it. It's been a great conversation piece - between "I've never seen one of these" to "I haven't seen one of these in years" to "I got one of these for a wedding gift 45 years ago and it's never been out of the box - but I've moved it 6 times!" (...what a shame not to give the cute little scuttle the love and attention it deserves!) How about you? Was it you I was bidding against?



See ya!

  1. Hey girl...I love that little sugar thingy..I had never seen one before either until I seen it at Susan's...I love it and would love to get one but I don't own a single piece of silver in my house....wonder if they ever made them out of anything else? I need to look at Ebay more often! lol

    Thanks for coming by girl...that Sherry is a hoot & I just love her to pieces...but seriously..I'm not a dishaholic! lol Hope you have a great week!

  2. I love your sugar scuttle. I received one as a wedding gift 50 years ago, and never put it on the table until I saw Susan's. Like you, I have used it for little mints (but I had it on the coffee table then). Since seeing Susan's I have used it on the table for sugar. Yours is so pretty. laurie

  3. I love your sugar scuttle. I used to eye one in a tea shop and always said, "Next time I'm getting that!" Unfortunately, they went out of business. Glad you found one on ebay! :D Jewel

  4. Silverplate only gets better with use. It's wonderful to see to re birth of vintage items!

  7. My coder is trying to persuade me to move
    to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of
    the expenses. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress
    on a variety of websites for about a year and am concerned
    about switching to another platform. I have
    heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way
    I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  8. Does your site have a contact page? I'm having problems locating it but, I'd like to shoot you an email.
    I've got some suggestions for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.
