I have a collection of silver baby christening cups, starting with those in our family and adding to it by finding them here and there over the years and on ebay.

I love to look at them and clean them and see the dings. My husbands is missing the handle. I can see him banging on his high chair for more milk!

There is one, the most elaborate that is engraved. "To Mackie from Mama"..and the date is 1884.

You wonder how they ended up out of the family, but I am taking good care of them.

There is one with the Campbells kids and some have elaborate handles of animals. Most have engraved names.

I display them in a big silver frame that once was for a picture but now has shelves. Someone sweet and wonderful made it for me.
