It seems like sterling isn't on bride lists much anymore...living is more casual than
it used to be, except for those who are in the higher income brackets. That is what
it feels like, anyway.

Pacific Silver Cloth is available at most fabric shops, usually kept out of the way like
interfacing, etc. I wrapped all my big serving pieces in it before storing them in those
vacuum bags. Before I had that brainstorm, I had wrapped each piece in plastic
wrap which did a pretty good job, but wasn't 100% perfect.

My flatware is in a regular flatware storage chest which is lined with silvercloth. Many
of the vintage and antique pieces of dining room storage furniture pieces have flatware
drawers lined with silvercloth.
