Thanks for stopping by. What you will find here in my shop are hand stamped musings on life, love and coffee all on vintage silverplate flatware.
“ElevATEd Ware” was started when my Mom gave me her wedding silverware set. The rest of my family didn't want it and I couldn't part with it, as it held sentimental value. Like many of us, we love these family heirlooms but they often stay hidden and don’t have a place in our daily lives...until now!
While shopping at a local art gallery, I saw some silverplated hand stamped items. I thought they were interesting and that’s when the lights went on. It gave me the idea that I could do something similar but with my own twist. I bought my first set of inexpensive metal stamps. I proceeded to stamp away, made a million mistakes, banged my hands as many times but kept at it. I finally got a few pieces to where I thought they'd be good to give away. Then it was time to be brave and put them on a few “buy and sell' sites. They sold. It took off from there. It's a perfect match for my love of all things wordy, clever, visual, humorous, inspirational, exploratory and of course, it must also be about the tea, coffee and food!
Each piece is purchased from a variety of sources, both online and in person. I've been fortunate to hear some wonderful stories from the people who are now wanting to let their set go. I get to share in those stories, hand stamp something unique and upcycle them to you with the hopes of providing new memories, a new keepsake. It's interesting to think of shared connections from something seemingly so small. I'm inspired by this thing called life, the people I meet, lives led, who they are, what they say, what it means to me and so much more. I try to be original with each sentiment, unless otherwise indicated. I stamp almost daily. I’m addicted. These are great everyday fun utensils to use. They can be kept for yourself or gifted to others and are for all reasons and seasons. Bring them out at your next dinner party and let the conversations begin.
In addition to my hand stamping, in 2019 I started to hand burned “charcuterie/serving” boards – west coast style. Each piece has a west coast theme design with the added touch of an authentic hand pulled cedar braided rope handle. Each handle is provided to me by my friend Krisandra Walkus, a truly proud First Nations community minded woman whose cultural influence is evident with each piece. “West Coast Charcuterie” are the only serving boards available with this style of design. To complement the boards, I’ve also made small batches of beeswax board butter. “Bees on Board” is 100% raw and natural, organic, food grade with high quality bees wax topped off with pure essential oil and even a little wooden bee! Available in 250ml (8oz) and 125ml (4oz).

As with all handmade items, some slight variations will occur if the pictured item(s) have sold and you'd like a similar one. Because of the nature of hand-stamping, it is impossible to guarantee that letters will be perfectly aligned. This gives it character. Most of these items are from the 1940's and up. Some tool markings are evident on the front sides as well as the back sides. No two pieces are exactly alike due to the silverplated pattern, placement of letters, alignment, depth of impression and uniformity of the letters or designs. If you're looking for a unique gift that actually gets used, then these will make great choices not only for yourself but for friends, family and loved ones. Perfect for all parties, holidays, events, weddings, etc. If you don't see what you're looking for here, let me know and we can create something together.
thanks,
Lynn
