 |
| I am always on the look out for something different to use in my tablescapes and the other day I came across some cute plastic trays. |
 |
| I thought they could be repurposed as "place mats", so I picked up a couple of them. |
 |
| This one is about the size of a cafeteria tray...$3.99.... |
 |
| This one is a little smaller...$2.99. |
 |
| I shopped around the house and picked out some accessories for my tea party.... |
 |
| I am going to invite H (My True Love) to join me for a cup of tea and a little snack this afternoon. |
 |
| Have a wonderful day! http://itssoverycheri.com/2014/02/02/its-party-time-2-2-2014/? http://dearlittleredhouse.blogspot.com/2014/02/mosaic-monday-little-warmth.html http://www.classyclutter.net/2014/02/spotlight-saturday-link-party-35.html http://my1929charmer.com/sundays-best-58-par-tay/? http://diyshowoff.com/2014/02/02/diy-party-3/? http://www.dreamalittlebigger.com/post/link-party-24.html http://www.twiggstudios.com/2014/02/sunday-best-showcase-linky-party.html http://www.titicrafty.com/2014/02/bewitch-me-titi-link-party-41.html http://www.findingsilverpennies.com/2014/02/silver-pennies-sundays-link-party-features-53.html http://www.usscrafty.com/2014/02/submarine-sunday-69.html http://www.onemoretimeevents.com/2014/02/valentine-round-up-and-party.html http://boogieboardcottage.blogspot.com/2014/02/welcome-to-161st-masterpiece-monday.html http://www.vmg206.com/2014/02/diy-sunday-showcase-link-party-and.html http://www.flamingotoes.com/2014/02/think-pink-sunday-150/? http://iamonly1woman.blogspot.com/ http://thetablescaper.blogspot.com/2014/02/seasonal-sundays-188-nest.html http://www.lifeonlakeshoredrive.com/2014/02/its-party-at-bouquet-of-talent-linky.html http://too-much-time.com/2014/02/get-schooled-saturday-113.html? http://piecedpastimes.blogspot.com/2014/02/saturday-sparks-link-party-48.html http://sewlicioushomedecor.com/saturday-showlicious-craft-recipe-showcase/ http://www.bedifferentactnormal.com/2014/02/show-tell-saturday-020114.html http://www.serenityyou.com/2014/02/serenity-saturday-121.html? http://bowdabrablog.com/2014/01/31/bowdabra-saturday-crafty-showcase-21/ http://www.cheeriosandlattes.com/saturday-show-tell-97/ http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2014/01/strut-your-stuff-saturday-link-party-week-132.html http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2014/01/party-junk-224.html http://www.mandatorymooch.com/2014/01/best-of-weekend-week-38.html http://angelshomestead.com/shine-a-spotlight-saturday-4/ http://www.madefrompinterest.net/2014/01/super-saturday-link-party-29/ http://lilluna.com/link-party-palooza-26/ http://maleviksrosentradgard.blogspot.com/2014/01/saturday-show-off_31.html http://diy-vintage-chic.blogspot.com/2014/01/fridays-five-features-no-26.html http://deborahjeansdandelionhouse.blogspot.com/2014/01/farmgirl-friday-blog-hop-143.html http://www.dianarambles.com/2014/01/pin-me-linky-party-70.html? http://bacontimewiththehungryhypo.blogspot.com/2014/01/anything-goes-linky-139-and-features.html http://www.thecottagemarket.com/2014/01/awesome-diy-projects-party-time-junkin-joe.html#comment-97382 http://domesticsuperhero.com/2014/01/31/the-pinworthy-projects-link-party-3/ http://www.clairejustineoxox.com/2014/01/3101-link-up-your-favourite-posts-this.html http://www.thirtyhandmadedays.com/2014/01/party-bunch-week-15/ http://www.dearcreatives.com/inspiration-spotlight-crafts-party-linkup-78-recipes-diy-decor-more/ http://www.504main.com/2014/01/tickled-pink-times-two-no-24.html http://what-about.co/show-friday-86/ http://www.housekaboodle.com/meet-the-neighbors-featured-blogs/ http://chiconashoestringdecorating.blogspot.com/2014/01/flaunt-it-friday-191.html http://shabbynest.blogspot.com/2014/01/frugal-friday_30.html http://www.lizmarieblog.com/2014/01/inspire-please-linky-party-46/ http://www.create-with-joy.com/2014/01/friendship-friday-from-a-to-z-105.html http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/2014/01/kitchen-fun-crafty-friday-link-party-100.html http://www.iwantcrazyblog.com/eat-create-party-8/ http://romantichome.blogspot.com/ http://www.thepinjunkie.com/2014/01/friday-link-party-52.html http://www.myturnforus.com/2014/01/freedom-fridays-with-all-my-bloggy_30.html? http://www.answerischoco.com/2014/01/bff-open-house-link-party-142.html http://www.myrepurposedlife.com/2014/01/catch-as-catch-can-149.html http://www.findingfabulousblog.com/2014/01/design-it-friday-and-giveaway-win-50-to.html http://www.thejennyevolution.com/friday-flash-blog-no-53-plus-features/ http://www.waittilyourfathergetshome.com/2014/01/30/creative-connection-party/ http://www.craftberrybush.com/2014/01/the-inspiration-gallery_30.html http://thebestblogrecipes.com/2014/01/the-weekend-retreat-link-party-52.html? http://shabbyartboutique.com/2014/01/shabbilicious-friday-link-party-34.html? http://www.redouxinteriors.com/2014/01/redouxs-link-party-140-and-fab-features/ http://thethriftygroove.blogspot.com/2014/01/thrifty-things-friday-145.html http://frenchcountrycottage.blogspot.com/2014/01/feathered-nest-friday_30.html http://www.nancherrow.com/2014/01/welcome-to-fridays-unfolded-95.html http://www.commonground-do.com/2014/01/be-inspired-174.html http://mommifried.com/ladies-blog-share-link-party-heart-valentines-day/ http://thecharmofhome.blogspot.com/2014/01/home-sweet-home-155.html

A beautiful wonderful idea.I have been buying them at Marshals for a long time now as trays ect... but never had that idea.Now that You brought up how pretty they look for parties,I'm thinking now there perfect for everyday use-esp. for My Grandchildren.
ReplyDeletePenny, your trays are sweet and you've set a cozy table for your hubby and you. Love the pink depression glass! Thank you for sharing and coming to tea.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Sandi
I love your trays. I love those trays, too. Your party for two looks divine! xo Diana

ReplyDeleteI love to use those trays for the same thing! I like those pink glass grapes... love love love it all! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI love your pink depression glass Penny and the trays look good enough to eat! Very pretty setting. Is that a flour sifter with the roses in it? It's so pretty and I've not seen one like it before. Happy tea time.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Penny. I love that teapot too. These trays are lovely. I'm co-hosting Turn It Up Tuesday this month and am so glad you shared your links tonight.

Hi Penny,
ReplyDeletethats a good idea with the plastic trays. Love the printed cake motif. Thank you for sharing this sweet tea time.
Best greetings, Johanna
Beautiful setting, and what a great idea for "placemats." Love the flour sifter and coffee pot too!
ReplyDeleteHandy and pretty, these trays! They would work well on an outside tea too. Lovely pastel shades....
ReplyDeleteHey, that looks great Penny, and all that pretty pinkness must be keeping the cold weather at bay. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Penny: Your collections amaze me. You leave me in the dust. Where do you store everything? That is always my problem. Love the post today. Beautiful as I have come to expect from you. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea, using the trays as placemats. Also good for carrying your tea & treats through the house if needed. They are very pretty trays , what a bargain too.

Tea for two! So pretty. I love the pink depression glass and especially those pink glass grapes! Thank you for sharing at What We Accomplished Wednesdays. Have a lovely week! ~Deborah
ReplyDeleteHow pretty Penny! I have some Paris themed trays I'm going to do this with ( 2 of them - so it can only be a tea for 2 party lol )
ReplyDeleteI love the tray and the dishes too! So pretty. Thanks for linking up at the Wake up Wed. hop. Hope to see you again next week. Hugs from your newest follower.
ReplyDeleteHow amazingly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove the trays and the dishes!
ReplyDeleteI love the trays, too! I am always looking for them and try to use them different ways. I use them to carry food into the den for a light meal or snack! These are so darling and just might send me to Ross. If you have a 99 cents stores as we do in Dallas they have had the prettiest ones and they are different shapes with lovely colors and prints, have a great week!
ReplyDeletePam
Love the trays. I also love the depression ware tea set. My mother gave me my grandmother's set and I love having tea with friends using them. I must go all out next time and find some vintage trays to go with the tea set. Thanks for sharing this on the blog hop.

I adore your sweet little Valentine's tea setting! The plate that you've featured (I call that type of pattern 'the courting couple') is my favorite. I have a fiew different versions around here but none with that great splash of pink, I love it.
