That Little Blue Box

This really did happen shortly after Susan's story about Breakfast at Tiffany's -- I mean Starbucks....uncanny timing....it just took me awhile to post.  I had received an info email (from the many sources I find myself signed up to receive) about a sale on Tiffany's silver polish, with an added bonus of free shipping.    I have a small collection of beloved silver pieces so this was too good to pass up.  I was surprised but delighted when the box arrived in the mail and there was my silver polish in a blue box and all wrapped up with white ribbon!   My mom instilled in me the love of polishing silver....I might have been as young as 8 when she used to give me that job whenever company was coming.  To this day I love the satisfaction of turning tarnish into shine.  Truth be told I even like tarnish on some vintage items too.   I have been the lucky and excited recipient of a little blue box or few in my lifetime so I just had to leave it in the packaging until I really need to use it!
