Things I love today: Silver polish

There are few things in life so simply gratifying as polishing tarnished silver. You start with an ugly yellow piece of silver and in a few quick swipes it is restored to a shiny perfection. Aside from Pandacam, I have to say that polishing silver is my favorite soothing activity.

I spent last evening preparing for tonight’s dinner party by polishing silver, ironing napkins (another favorite chore) and baking. I am exhausted, but this party is going to be worth the effort.
