Sterling Silver Flatware Photographs Patti Friday

I've wanted to photograph my Grandmother's

set of flatware for a long time!

Today I had the chance.

When editing your home or clearing out a loved one’s belongings—through Swedish death cleaning, Marie Kondo’s method, or donating—it’s often hard to part with sentimental items. Instead of keeping everything, consider photographing your keepsakes and collectibles. A picture preserves the memory without the clutter. This simple act honors the emotional value while creating a meaningful archive, allowing you to let go without truly losing the stories tied to each object.

Now that I've documented them

I think a few would be so nice

framed for a kitchen or dining room.

I love the above 3 pieces.

Serving fork.

Butter knife.

Cake/Pie server.

My Mom spoon fed ALL

the babies of the family

with these wee spoons.

Some pieces are tarnished more than others.

All beautiful and meaningful.

So many memories.

Do you collect silver?
