You're DYING to know kittens aren't you? I launched an exhaustive search. I even ordered some sets of silverware and SENT THEM BACK!
I went to Macy's, Bloomies, Pottery Barn and on line to Ross Simons, Horchow, and Ralph Lauren. I wanted something substantial, I hate wimpy silverware, but also nothing fancier than my silver:
Towle Old Master (pictured above)
I wanted something traditional, nothing too expensive or ornate, just simple and pretty. Soooooo...I decided on this:
Reed and Barton, Everyday, Kendrick.
82 piece set, normally $175, on sale for $150, but with Bloomies coupon $125! Loooove that!
I tried a Henckles set, an Oneida set and a few more. This was the best set ever and I am so happy!
PS Hubby and I went to see Cirque Du Soleil's Kooza last night! I'll post more on that in another post!

It looks wonderful! I had a very hard time picking out everyday silverware too!
I hope you have a nice day!
Oh lala! I like it. I also HATE wimpy silveware. Where does this hate come from?
Ooo I love it! I hate wimpy silverware too! :)
You are right, my silverware needs to be heavy and non-wimpy (good word choice) Both are beautiful choices.
I remember having to test out each knife to see if it would pass my weight test. My everyday flatware is actually heavier than my silverware.
LOVE IT!!!!
You will have it forever, might as well love it! Very classic style you chose!
I seriously love that pattern! I've been meaning to get it and then engrave our initial onto it...so chic! As far as the preppy challenge goes I fail too sometimes I totally have track lighting and spot and I have wall to wall in my basement. I just leave those items out! xoxo

Love the silverware. Very elegant.
FAB-U-LOUS great choice! Thanks for the update.
I love your everyday silver. Also love your Old Master - very elegant!
Thanks for being "there for me". I can't blog for a year to 18 months, but that doesn't mean I can't comment, right?!
I wanted this exact set that my two fabulous lesbian pals have in their Martha's Vineyard house. But I wouldn't wait for the next bloomies sale so I settled. I love them.
Love it! I am obsessed with silverware! I am glad there is someone else out there who understands.
I love your new flatware pattern! It's even better that you got such a great deal!
Have a nice weekend!
