3-Tier Galvanized Tray for Fall

The ever-changing 3-tier galvanized tray

got it's inspiration for fall from

 2 mugs I found thrifting.

 This handmade pottery mug beauty was 

only $1 at the thrift store! You know how 

much they sell for at craft fares and 

gift shops. I loved it the minute I found it

 because it's blue and ties in all my blue 

dishes and just autumnizes  everything. 

 Lucky me...I found 2 of them to perk

up our morning joe!

They are perfect for fall coffee, cider, 

tea, and hot chocolate.

That set the color story to orange and blue.

Those are very old napkins that I've had

forever. That Asian pattern was very

popular and is still a classic. 

More fall elements.

It's fun to grab this and that and see

what works. 

 Vintage salt and pepper set I use every fall.

 Another thrifted treasure that I found that day

 is this handmade pottery creamer. Blue too!

 It was also only $1. 

Old Ball jar, cinnamon sugar, and carved bowl.

Playing with mugs started this

all rolling. 

Cheers!

3-Tier Galvanized Tray w Blue Cups

This 3-tier galvanized tray has become

a harbinger of the coming seasons. 

 

It needed a quick change after I removed the 

Valentine mugs last month. A new vignette 

before I decorated for the Spring holidays; 

St. Patrick's Day and Easter.

 I gathered lots of my blue and white tea 

cups in assorted patterns and piled them on.

 My thrifted set of espresso cups fit on top.

Quick change!

Cheers!

Christmas 3-Tiered Galvanized Tay

The thing I love best about this little

3-tiered tray is that it has endless

decorating possibilities. 

 It takes about 10 minutes to change it

for the seasons and holidays. 

 I just gather a little this-and-that and

I've got a whole new look. I'll

sometimes tweak a bit, adding things 

as I unpack little Christmas treasures. 

 It's perfect for puttering, 

if you're a putterer, as I am. 

 Mr. & Mrs. Claus salt and pepper set

from Publix. They sell them every year.

A little corner of Christmas cheer.

Cheers!

Patriotic 3-Tier GalvanizedTray

It's a quick little makeover to 

style the 3-tiered galvanized tray

for the Patriotic months;

Memorial Day ~ September 11th.

Using the  blue and white as the base

 all I  needed to do just add a few of my

 red items; red checked towels, red

creamer, bow, and of course

a few stick flags. 

The Patriotic Longaberger basket

(2001 Inaugural) fits nicely too.

Here's the Spring Tay and Patriotic Tray

A few small red and white roses from 

then yard in the blue and white creamer.

Many of you have asked where I found 

the tray. I neglected to mention that in 

my last "Spring" post. 

I found the tray at Costco for $19.00.

Spring 3-Tier Galvanized Tray

This 3 tier galvanized tray has just replaced 

the basket tray that usually sits on the kitchen

 counter. It's been vignette-ized for spring.

I quickly grabbed a few things to fill it.

The vintage galvanized kitchen scale and

galvanized chicken feeder, (now plate rack)

all go so well together. Of course it will be

seeing lots of changes for the holidays.

There's July-Independence Day, Fall, 

Halloween,Thanksgiving, Christmas,....

and on and on....

How much fun is that?!  It will also

be nice to use for entertaining filled with

 snacks or as a coffee station. I'm feeling

 pretty good about this purchase for $19.00.

Cheers!

Using Trays For Vignettes

I love using trays. 

I always have a tray in this spot on 

the bar counter in the kitchen.

Trays make it so easy to create a 

seasonal vignette and change it often.

Playing around with a little raffia.

The wood tray on the family room

coffee table for Summer.

 I added a vintage linen hand towel.

It has a light blue detail and fits in the

tray perfectly. 

The breakfast table usually has a tray
 corralling an ever-changing assortment
 of my things.

I also like to use a small tray next to the sink.

This time I'm using a spatterware platter to 

hold soap/lotion dispensers, and a small vase 

filled with a few fresh herbs. The tray

makes it easy to move everything when I

wipe down the counters.  

The sugar pot is filled with homemade hand
scrub: sugar with just enough dish liquid to
 make a creamy/gritty paste. I used blue
dish liquid to match my colors. That way I
can have any color I want. See some
others HERE. Using this to wash my 

hands, especially after gardening leaves 

them clean and so smooth.

Cheers!
