    Flatware Obsessions

    Many of you have asked about the flatware and fine china used at my launch party. So I’ve decided to create some inspiration boards on our Pinterest account as well as curate my top 6 flatware sets here! I will have another post coming up shortly about my favorite fine china! Plus you can expect to start seeing these curated posts, filled with all my favorite items! Also, being a Canadian blogger, I want to make sure you have Canadian sources on where to buy these, as well as prices (if not in CDN prices, it will be noted). I’ve also tried to include a diverse selection both in style and in price, reflecting the different readers we have here at Amidst the Chaos. Enjoy and happy shopping!

    3. Anthropologie Rediscovered Flatware:  $36.00**  for a 5 Piece Set. Available online at Anthropologie or at any of their Canadian stores. They combed through the USA, to collect some of the prettiest antique and vintage silverware pieces from 1800-1940, and then regrouped them into delightfully mismatched sets. The shapes and patterns are randomly assembled; therefore each place setting of two forks, two spoons and one knife is completely unique.

    Hope you’ve enjoyed this curated post of the loveliest flatware out there! If you don’t have extra cash right now for buying a new set but would love something new, you could always try and upcycle some that you already have or ones from the thrift store. I started doing that for all the parties I was hosting: I hated the look and feel of plastic utensils but also didn’t want to spend a small fortune on getting 20-30 sets of flatware for my events. So I scoured the local thrift stores until I found enough utensils and then I covered everything but the handles with plastic wrap and tape and then spray painted then handles in coordinating party colors! I’ve done this a few times and it’s always such a hit with guests who notice those extra details! You can see my pictures of them here. Something fun you could try for a different look! 

    Love & Blessings,
