The Case of the Missing Silverware
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please read our disclosure policy here
When my husband and I got married, we did the responsible thing and registered for silverware.
I don’t remember where, I don’t remember the NAME of the set, and I don’t even remember how much we ended up with.
What I do know is that most of it’s gone missing…
Yeah… that’s what my silverware drawer looks like. I don’t know where all the little spoons and forks have gone, but I am guessing they’ve been sacrificed to the great takeout box in the sky.
So, I need to do something so that we stop sitting down in our formal dining room with plasticware, because that’s not only bad for the earth, but kind of trashy as well.
I’m kind of loving these. Maybe it’s time to break down and order a new silverware set, eh?
I’ve never lost silverware, I didn’t know that was a thing ?
come to think of it – yes. where does it go?
BTW – gave you a blog award today 🙂
Oops…I know you can get to my blog from my name above but here’s the exact link in case you don’t see this today.

Totally! We have four kids. Need I say more. We recently bought new silverware because we didn’t have one spoon left. I couldn’t figure out how I missed that. LOL.
I just wanted to let you know I gave you an award on my blog today!! Stop by to pick it up, if you’d like. I would have emailed you but I couldn’t seem to find your addy.
Enjoy your day!
It does. I suspect evil faeries. *shifty eyes across the kitchen…*
The silverware is probably having a ho down somewhere with all your single socks.
Dude! All my little spoons have disappeared. What is up with that? I mean, it’s not like it’s the socks in the wash syndrome. OR is it?
My silverware disappears all the time. I keep finding it in the kids sandbox in the back yard. Yuck. =)
My husband and I are always bringing food into our room at night for movie watching- and sometimes stray forks or spoons end up in our room in weird places like behind the bed! Yikes!
Mine always end up under my bed. Maybe I shouldn’t eat in bed. :\
@jeannie, HAHA that’s kind of awesome, though!
When we were little we never had a full set of flatware because my brother would routinely toss his into the garbage as he cleared the table and scraped his plate. My mom used to buy replacements but she finally got so angry she refused to buy any more until he stopped tossing them out.
There were five kids and my mom and, at one point, we were down to two forks. TWO. Do you know what it’s like to try to eat a pork chop with a spoon?!?
The hubs and I aren’t so bad with the disappearing silverware but, on occasion, we have a piece or two go missing and I’ve always assumed that, like the odd missing socks, pens and paper clips, the silverware is being used by the borrowers who live in our walls. 🙂
@Rhonda Cowsert, haha ahhh yes, blame the borrowers.
The funny thing is, we never lost ours until we had a kid–but I just think that’s because we ate out all the time. 🙂
LOL. I am glad I am not the only one who has dissappearing silverwear. Lucky when we got married we got to much of it. I just opened the last set we had!
@Lisa, haha that’s how we were… but it seems like after eight years, we’ve hit the end!
