Tray Chic


Time to tweak the sunroom decor again.
The red, white, and blue,
has been changed out for late summer colors.
August becomes golds and greens with hints of the coming fall season.

I'm definitely one that loves the changes in weather and nature,
and my decor reflects those changes.




My friend Debra, from Inspirational Home,
has been having a summer sale,
and I found these wonderful Frenchy trays.
They are designed with hangers on the back
 so you can use them as wall decor,
or as a tray.




I love all things French,
and these Provencal scenes are a favorite of mine.




(they even have sheep)




This one in the Living Room is slightly different.


Some of my English ironstone landed on the one in the sunroom.





This large pitcher with the robin and nest
was my very first piece of Brown Transferware.
It really started a heavy addiction!






I just love this tiny creamer with the delicate roses




By the end of July I'm tired of the heat and ready to wind down summer into fall.



And it looks as if my trusty assistant is laying down on the job.
She works hard all day following me around.




My desk top computer; my workhorse, decided to check out a few weeks ago.
I've had to postpone my Etsy plans because of it,
but now I have a new computer (thanks hubbs),
So I want to get started.

  1. Your pictures are wonderful! But I'm afraid you have hurt my feelings with your Robin and nest pitcher! AHGGGGGGGGG! GORGEEOUS! The trays really are fabulous. And I loved seeing the marks--do you suppose there is another jug like that on the planet? Everything looks beautiful together! Jacqueline

  7. Oh Debra, how I love coming over to visit you, you never dissappoint! Your sofa looks so lovely with the pillows and the quilt thrown over the back. And those trays are the most beautiful trays I've seen for awhile. I love the french scenes and your beautiful pottery on top just sets them off.

    Everything is so pretty.

  10. Beautiful, Debra. "Changing out for the seasons" is something that's hard to do when it's "mostly summer". It makes me wistful for Autumns in Wisconsin...my most favorite time of year where I grew up. Thanks for sharing. I adore that birds' nest pitcher! I can certainly see how it began your collection.

  20. The tray is beautiful, Debra, but I really, really love your transferware pitchers! They are just beautiful. I love the brown/white and brown/cream combo, and yet I don't own a one! : ) I think I need to rectify that.

  49. Oh, your trays are so pretty but I am absolutely loving that huge A J Wilkinson pitcher with the nest and bird. I collect and sell transferware and haven't seen that pattern. I'm keeping my eye out for it now. I love anything with bird nests. Your room and display is so pretty and has such a warm, welcoming feel to it. Charming!!!
