Sometime last year my darling friend Diane from California came to visit.
She noticed that I had a little collection of black metal trays.
Diane said she thought she had one in storage and she'd try to find it for me.
Well, I guess she found it cause
look what came in the mail last week!
It looks like it's hand painted.
Don't you love the colors?
It's such a unique pattern.
THANK YOU Diane!!
I love it!!
I have a few others.
Some are wood and kind of new.
Some are metal and old.
Some are stamped and some are hand painted.
This one's made out of paper mache? Or some kind of cardboardish material.
I've found them on Ebay, picked some up at garage sales and thrift stores, and bought a couple at cute little shops. But it was so much fun finding one in my mailbox last week.

those are all really really beautiful.
These are gorgeous, and now you will think of your friend every time you see that cute tray:>) I never see these at the thrift stores or estate sales around here.
I'm so glad I found it. For a year I couldn't remember where it was and one day decided to clean out my pantry...there it was inbetween the gift bags I recycle. I was excited and sent it right off to you. Doris Johnson painted it maybe 20 years ago. I'm glad you like it my darling friend! love ya
