We're having a little fun with trays here today. (Yes, I am easily amused.) The large tray above belonged to my mother. The milk glass cup and saucer and cachepot are from my collection. As always, you can click to enlarge any picture.
This tray was an ebay purchase. The silver coffee pot was $6. at a local thrift store, and the cup and saucer belonged to my mother.
I found this hand-painted tray at our local Visiting Nurse's Rummage Sale. I love rummaging amid all the dross to find a beautiful bargain. The cup and saucer are my every day china, and thrift store silver holds the wildflower bouquet.
So there you have it -- Tray (Tres) Elegant!

They *do* have a certain je ne sais quoi, n'est pas? But you already know that I love trays as well. Have a happy Wednesday.

I love it! And I also love that sweet flower arrangement in that julep cup!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary - Since the first time you shared your trays I always think of you when I see one along the way somewhere. And I would love to find some that could come home with me. Maybe soon. ~Adrienne~
ReplyDeleteVery elegant. It just speaks of charm and class...
ReplyDeleteI too have charm and class because I own a few trays...okay if I'm being honest they are TV trays from Kmart...but don't tell anyone! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Beautiful flower-patterned trays as well as the dishes! The milk glass cup on the first photo is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, as always Mary. You got me started collecting trays. I'm collecting the hammered aluminum ones that my mother used to have when we were kids. Thanks for the inspiration!

All your trays are BEAUTIFUL. I have some silver trays that I really like, but that's it. I love the floral paintings on yours.

ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty! I clicked on each photo and they are gorgeous, Mary! I think that magazine should buy some of your photos again.
ReplyDeleteHi Mary :)

Oh you know I am drooling over the trays! But yours look so much better than mine all dressed up like that! You always make beautiful displays. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the play on words...that first photo has the most wonderful color combinations.
ReplyDeleteI swan... I find the BEST things at thrift shops! I collected old kitchen copper for years and it all came from thrift stores. I have a couple of trays like yours. They're perfect for so many things.
ReplyDeleteUgh - I keep looking for a functional and beautiful tray but still havent found anything. I refuse to 'just buy one already', I will wait uintil I find the right one. I love the one with the daffodils, but they were gorgeous all your handpainted trays!
ReplyDelete* Oh Mary, I just "found" THIS posting of yours~~~ How I love ALL of the beautiful feasts you present for our eyes~~~ it's ALWAYS soooo enchanting visiting you! As ever, warmest thanks, Linda *
