Well, at least, I have been taking pictures of my sister working!
It was time to get out the family silver and get it polished. I'm glad these are at her house not mine.
For anyone who might know anything about antique silver~ this was our great grandmother's silver set, probably from the early 1900's. Each piece is marked Barbours.P.Co, Hand Chased, Internationals Co, with a number. We have great memories of our mom using these for family dinners. 
And polishing it!
Good thing I'm in charge of the camera.

It looks fantastic now!What a treasure!
Beautiful,,,,what a job to polish though!
Beautiful silver....but I too am glad it is someone else's house. I love crystal stuff...but silver is too much work.
wow - gorgeous stuff
Beautiful pieces! Now why didn't I think to have you do some polishing in Oct.? Now I know of another special skill!
I love these, Sandy. They are truly precious. (I always hated polishing my mom's silver)
oh great post, i'm terrible at doing this stuff!:)
Gorgeous silver! What precious time together for you and your sister!
It was always my job to polish the silver...always. I loved it, watching the beauty emerge from the tarnish...my sisters said not a word when Mama left it to me...I had after all, been the only one to cherish it with elbow grease! Your family silver is lovely. Good job working the camera!

I think I would want to man the camera too. LOL!
Beautiful set!

Would your sister be willing to share her method of cleaning the silver? I have some and really am afraid to clean it, because I'm unsure of what is the best method. Would appreciate any feedback on this!
beautiful,I love silver....Barb
A job, but worth it. Gorgeous! Enjoy your trip!
I think I would choose to be on the camera too!
It's beautiful though!
Thanks for posting this Sandi! I'm facing the same chore with my parents silver pieces. After seeing the beautiful results I'll take my turn and use some elbow grease.
