Hi everyone! In the past few months, I’ve found two more trays to add to my collection that I have hanging in my dining room.
I don’t have any hangers for them yet so I thought I’d place the smaller one on the black chest for now and added some some fun yellow faux flowers (Michael’s has so many that are 80% off because apparently summer is over and we should all be buying fall foliage).

I placed them in a white soup tureen and I used one of my red toile runners underneath it all.
I found a larger tray like those on the wall (though in not as good a shape) that I hope to be able to hang this week. So maybe I’ll be able to show you them all at the end of the week, if not, next week for sure.
I hope you all had wonderful weekends! We got some much needed rain so everything is thriving and the lawn needs mowing. Off to do that now!

Very pretty…the summer flowers in the soup tureen are wonderful. Summer's over? Have the school ads begun to run yet? That's the usual harbinger of summer's end.

I've been looking around your pretty blog and think your home is just beautiful. I love all the red accents and the toile…I love toile 🙂 Can't wait to look around some more. I do hope you come and visit me again soon. Until then. Have a wonderful new week…Oh, and love your collection of trays. You've done an excellent job displaying them.

Beautiful tray! I'm still looking for trays at our thrift stores here. So surprised the last time I was in Michaels to see they already had fall themed items out!

Dear Manuela,
Gorgeous! I love your trays…the black pops right off the yellow. Just beautiful.
Yesterday I went to our local A.C. Moore. I commented about all the Fall items out and the manager laughed and told me she had Christmas ribbon in her stockroom that had just arrived!
Yikes!!!!

Julie says
WOOT! I love them. I have found two new trays too! They are not hanging yet. But I love them.
Yours are all beautiful. I do love the tole trays and the splash of black accent they bring. Plus they speak "vintage" ….my grandmother's days!
Thanks for sharing.
Glenda/MidSouth says
I like the tray on the stand with the mirror behind it like that.
Have a great week and stay cool.
Donna says
So pretty, Manuela! You have so many lovely trays. I like the flowers too. (speaking of summer being over…..I saw school supplies in Walmart today!)
Hugs,
Donna

How fun to find some new trays to add to your collection. I like your vignette with the tureen full of flowers. The table runner is so cute with the ball fringe.

So beautiful! I saw a really neat tray with the Queen of England when she was much younger. I don't own anything like that, but it was really special.

Melissa says
I was just at Michael's last week and was surprised to see so many fall flowers out already. Um, hello? It's only mid July!
Your vignette's are as lovely as usual!
Many Blessings,

Paula says
Your new tray is lovely.
I guess if I want any summer florals I'd better get to Michaels asap!
Kathy @ Creative Home Expressions says
Very pretty, Manuela! I love that tray you have on a stand on the chest. Yes, Michaels had Fall stuff ready for stocking when I was in there Saturday morning. Next week, I'm sure all the Christmas ornaments will be out!
~Lavender Dreamer~ says
Everything works together perfectly! I could use your help around here! You are so creative and have beautiful style! ♥
Chook says
Ooooh,what a lovely collection.I do WANT that chook one though,I love my chookies..:)
Darlene says
It looks so pretty!! You always put together just the right things to make beautiful vignettes.
Summers over??????? Well, then I would sure take some Fall 60's instead of the 100's with 105 – 110 heat indexes we are having!!!!!
salmagundi says
I love those trays, and I see them occasionally; but, alas, I don't need another collection. I'll just enjoy yours. Sally
Cindy says
Hi Manuela,
I'm so happy to know that you needed the rain. We got lots more and we DON'T need it. Although, I must say our lawns and trees are very green and gorgeous this summer.
Now, to your lovely new trays. They are very pretty! I love both of them and your faux flowers look wonderful, too. I love seeing photos of your home. It's so tastefully colorful.
Hugs, Cindy S
Erin @ I Heart New England says

Looks great! I love tole trays and you have a lovely collection.
Debbie says
It looks pretty, especially along side the tureen with the happy yellow flowers. Hobby Lobby is the same with the fall flowers AND decorations. I'm still in a summer mood, too. Darn.
Always Nesting says
Beautiful!! I always love the photos of your home.
Kristi says
Your trays look fantastic! And I absolutely LOVE the ball trim on your pretty runner! Perfect! 🙂

Hi Manuela! I had to laugh because I love trays too! The more the better. And boy do we use them when we have company or lots of food to serve! They come in handy for all kinds of occasions. Great post.
I also love that mirror and chest below it. They look so great together.
Have a blessed day my dear!!!!

That vignette looks mah-va-lous! Love the arrangement of trays on the wall too, of course. I look for them while out thrifting, but I never ever see any. There are great bargains on summer faux flowers right now. But, I think summer stuff gets clearanced way too early. I wanted something at Target earlier in the week, went back to the seasonal corner and found school supplies. sheesh, in my day you didn't see that til the end of August for school in Sept. Now, there are Christmas displays up in Aug. in many stores.
Enjoy the rest of summer! hugs, Sue
Linda (Nina's Nest) says
Hi Manuela, you have the most beautiful tray collection – wow! I always enjoy seeing them. About Decatur, I'm not sure about a place like A Classy flea in Marietta. I'll check and see. Debbie & I like the Queen of Hearts in Alpharetta., and she also goes to the Queen of Hearts in Buford. I think there is one in Marietta???? Will let you know when I find out something more. Linda

Manuela, the thing you add that is so very special are the little touches. The trims, the lace, the little additions that add the spark!
