Ohhhh, you wanna see a bunch of ladies to go at it about a topic that doesn't revolve around the Real Housewives (thank you, Beverly Hills, for bringing the heat this season)....then tell them your silver pattern is the prettiest. 

That there...dem is fightin words.

So far we have talked about an easy way to clean silver.  And we have also figured read the marks on the back of the silver to identify sterling silver, maker, etc.  Today, we are going to talk about "patterns".

Your "silver pattern" is the actual name of the design of your silver flatware.  So, you would say you have "X" pattern by "X" maker. 

I love how personal a silver pattern is to someone.  Especially when it has been passed down in generations throughout a family.  There is nothing I love more than watching folks take pride in their heirlooms. (Well, okay, that is sort of a lie because when they don't take pride, they sell it and then I can buy it so....)

There are a TON of different silver patterns.  With the help of both Southern Living and Replacements.com, below is a comprehensive list of the most popular patterns.

What is your pattern? Why did you pick that pattern and did you inherit some from your family? I'd love to know!
