<p>[QUOTE="J Dagger, post: 4272904, member: 10944"]Exactly! I figured even if it’s not necessarily super appreciated now it will be a really nice thing to have later on down the road. Can’t decide if I should go with the initials or first name which is only four letters, Evie. I’m thinking first name and year on reverse. I’ve seen some very nice christening sets. The French did love a good silver set of any type it seemed. I thought to include a cup but I can’t see them ever using it. I did just pick up a fantastic rattle yesterday in a job lot. There’s nothing really left inside to cause it to rattle. I took the handle out to see if I could deposit some little objects through the hole so it would rattle again. Turns out it’s basically a prison shiv when the handle is removed. Even if I glued it in well I’d be afraid the baby would blind itself someday with it. Oh well! Here’s the little set I’ll be giving them after a polishing and engraving. [ATTACH=full]340899[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340900[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]340901[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
