Who knew we had two Soft Scrubs, two Comets, three window cleaners, three Liquid Golds, two Old English scratch cover polish, three silver polishes and .....count them....SEVEN brass polishes! I don't even have any brass to polish - nor would I polish it if I did.
When I told Emily about this tonight, she asked about polishing this very old (1903) baby spoon that was given to her by our 80 year old neighbor, Dorothy, when she was born. It had been Dorothy's baby spoon and has the complete poem of "There Was An Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe" engraved in the bowl of the spoon. Emily began polishing the spoon while on the phone with me and said "Is it ok that black is rubbing off the spoon?" Oh dear, clearly I never taught her about polishing silver!
