Tommy Smythe, List of Eight and Fabulous Flatware

Tommy Smythe, List of Eight and “Fabulous Flatware" June 2015

“Fabulous Flatware”

Using and collecting “Fabulous Flatware” is No 3 on Tommy Smythe’s list of eight “favourite ways to add

the ‘fine’ to yourfinishes, the ‘strut’ to your stuff and be inspired to love living in - and sharing -  your polished

pad” (72).

Tommy shows you what he means by “Fabulous Flatware” with pieces from Cynthia Findlay.

Tommy suggests “Get out the good stuff everyday” (72). If you don’t have the good stuff, Tommy recommends

not “to get itall at once”; rather, “make a hobby out of collecting a vintage classic set, complete with fanciful

serving accessories” (72).
