 Starting this week on Monday Marketplace 

I'll be spotlighting one of my great sponsors,

 as most of them join in for the link party.

 So today I'm highlighting Sheila from Tattered Goods. 

She has amazing designs in pillows, tea towels, coasters,

 and so many great vintage things in her Etsy Shop. 

Do you need a vintage clock or camera? She has those too!!

Hope you'll run by and check out Sheila's blog and great shop.

And if you're interested in joining with me for some ad opportunities then click here. 

(New rates and summer specials.)

So link up to three items from your online boutique or Etsy shop; please link to the individual item if possible. And if you have a blog, I'd love you to grab the button on the sidebar and share it somewhere on your blog. This lets everyone know a fun new place to come and shop. And remember the party is up all week, so drop back by to check out what new has been added.

Hope you're off to a great start on the week!

Black Tole Trays

I started collecting black tole trays about 12 years ago when my son-in-law brought me a large reproduction one back from England. He had found it in the gift shop at Buckingham Palace, and from then on I was smitten. Some can be pretty pricey, so I try to look for the bargains. My little collection has steadily grown, but this last few weeks I've been on a roll.

 I found this one on Etsy here at a great price, and was so happy to find it, despite the small areas of rust. It's a pretty good size, and if perfect, these can set you back a penney or two.

I'm sticking with hand-painted ones for now, even if they're a little rusty.

( a little rust never hurts anything anyway! right?)

It's now setting on my double ovens, making a pretty statement.

Before, this smaller one just didn't show up enough.

Then, this last week when Anne and I were out scouring the shops,  I found this one with pink flowers. It's in the Dining Room for now on an old black wooden folding luggage stand.

Then, in St. Louis I came across this one that had pink roses. 

I found a spot on the kitchen counter for this one.

And then a baby one from St. Louis too...

Anne put it here on top of the scales and I think it looks so sweet!

right behind one of my chalkware lambies.

I found this other smaller one a while back,

and it has made it's way to the countertop.

This was from last Fall,

love them lined up on the backsplash.

I've been tempted with other background colors, but there's something about the black ones that just grabs me. I think it's that they remind me of an English Country kitchen, and I love the contrast of the black with the antique white cabinets.

I'll be joining in for these parties this week:
