Hi everyone! I wanted to show you my wall of trays now that I’ve hung the newest ones.
These are the two new trays. The smaller tray I showed you before but now it’s on the wall with all the others.

I’ve grouped the three trays that have Blue Willow in them.
I’ve gotten all of these trays thrifting with the exception of that smaller one which I won on ebay.
People always ask me what style of trays these are. They’re not handpainted tole trays. Which are really pretty and much easier to find. These are tin litho trays.
It’s taken me about 5 years to get just that wall of trays (I have two more in the kitchen). I know some people have found them at garage sales. I just want ONE MORE to go over the doorway. I’m still looking for the bunny one that quite a few bloggers have! That’s really the one I want! Email me if you have one and would like to swap something for it (fat chance- I know~smile)!
Also, I wanted to show you the salt and pepper shakers that Viola (A Long Widowed Road) sent to me.
They’re the glass pairs in the center front (the cute little ones and the ones with the amber feet). They’re from the 40’s/50’s and I think they make a lovely addition to my salt and pepper shaker collection. Wasn’t that so sweet and generous of her! Thank you Viola – I love them!
Thanks for dropping by and I hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

Kathleen Grace says
I have always loved your trays, I don't think I have ever seen one at a garage sale or thrift store though. You are so lucky to have found so many:>)
Angie says
Wow, you really do have quite a collection of those trays! I only have 2, but want more. I'll keep you in mind when looking too in case I see a bunny one!
Debbie says
Those trays look lovely in the room. I need to show this to my mother. She has some trays like that (the tin not tole painted). She would love it.
The new additions to the s/p collection are pretty too. Lucky you!
I hope you are going to participate in that "Show us your roosters party" (can't remember where at this moment for some oddball reason). You have such a fun collection.

Your trays are so beautiful, Manuela. The colors are striking. I'll keep my eyes open for the bunny tray.

Julie says
Manuela,
I swannee!! I can't believe it. Your newest tray with the berries in the bowls – that is one of my newest ones I mentioned to you!! Wow! WE not only think alike, we somehow, mysteriously shop alike finding the same treasures! I found mine at a little consignment store for a song. Question – my son asked me, what are the white berries on the far right????? I can't say!
I have a duplicate on the bunny trays that I have found. Two are a pair, and then I found another thrifting that matches one of the pair but is in hues of blue. I want you to have it. I don't need it for goodness sake.
Send me your mailing address, and I will begin to look for a box that it will fit in!!!!
Hugs and love to you, my very sweet bloggy sister. I am thrilled to have a tray that you cannot find, and I don't need. I too, love these beautiful trays and especially the pop of black they add to a room. sweet detail.

Viola says
Hi Manuela,
The S and P shakers look lovely with your collection. I'm glad my late husband's grandma collection found a home. Your house is adorable. Thank you for the idea about painting my chairs white for the cottage look.
Have a blessed week.

Your trays are gorgeous. I love them and such pretty shapes and scenes. I love the arrangement you have on the wall, so pretty. Your collection of s/p are all fabulous. Beautiful home. Hugs, Marty
Robin@DecoratingTennisGirl says
Mauela,
What a beautiful collection of trays! I also love the idea of putting the salt and peppers on a cake stand! Neat idea!!!
Vee says
It's always interesting to see when some gal is doing a different thing. You're the only gal I know who displays her trays on the dining room wall. I doubt that you'll be the only one I know for long. I have one tray somewhat like this, not as pretty, not as uniquely edged, but I use it to carry things to the deck. Gheesh. I've just got to get out of my box.
Maura @ Lilac Lane Cottage says
Hello Manuela! I LOVE your trays and how you've displayed them on the wall. I had a tray but sold it when we moved to the farm…now I kick myself for it. I love your salt and pepper shakers too and the way you're displaying them….very pretty. I hope you're having a wonderful Monday…Maura 🙂
Vickie says
Hi Manuela – I love your black trays. I'm partial to the tole ones, and have not wanted to pay the price for them. I ran across one for $10 at a garage sale and snapped it up. It just takes time, doesn't it? But I'm convinced that if you wait and watch long enough you'll find just what you're looking for at a great price! Good job!
Anita says
Those are absolutely beautiful!! And they look so perfect in your beautiful room. Love the salt and pepper shakers too!
Julie Harward says
Who knew trays could be so pretty..and I love how you have grouped them too…love the S&P's too, very sweet! Come say hi 😀
Mary Ellen says

Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
I love your trays, Manuela! I only have one like this and it does have bunnies on it. I have seen another though that I like and I'm guessing that's the bunny one you want, as well. I love the blue in that top tray ~ what a great color.
Gumbo Lily says
I really like your tray collection. Beautiful.

Carrie says
Thanks for sharing your dining room collections. The trays are each an exquisite design and you have hung them very attractively. I too, have a small collection of salt and pepper shakers and was glad to see yours.
Enjoy your week!
HeathahLee says
I LOVE the top-left tray! Those colors are so pretty! I was at Goodwill today and saw a plate that I thought looked like one you would have in your home. It was white with almost red (may have been red at one time but faded to a deep, pretty burgundy) on it, and a rose right in the center. I wish I had picked it up, now! It made me smile to think of you. : )
diXymiss says
Lovely collection ~ artfully displayed. I hope that coveted bunny tray hops right into your lap!
Brenda@Cozy Little House says
I love the sweet shakers! They just make that little collection with their petiteness. You have the most beautiful collection of trays as well.

Sue says
The arrangement of all those trays on the wall is simply scrumptious!! You have such a variety of patterns and styles and they all go together so very well. I never seem to see them at sales, but continue to look.
Stay cool in this hot weather as you work in your garden. 🙂
hugs, Sue
laurie @ bargain hunting says
Manuela, your trays make such a statement all grouped together like that. I'm trying to remember where I saw the bunny tray. If I see it for sale, I'll email you with the price. Love those rooster plates with the checked borders. laurie

Sweet Cottage Dreams says
Beautiful! Sometimes waiting and finding the perfect items for our homes is the most pleasurable. Our little rewards in life. 🙂
I love the variety of trays and am so fond of that rooster one. If I spy a bunny tray, I will pick it up for you.
It is always a treat to visit you. Your home and collections are stunning.
