silver trays + thanks "j"

the very lovely janette from "my sweet prints" mentioned me in her post yesterday {thanks "j"}
about a silver tray i sent her and how you can paint them see here, after seeing her post i thought i hadn't shared any of my ones, i started a little collection {but really how many do you need?????} hehehe

i do have three throughout the house at the moment, first one above is my white one i painted for $5.00 {trash n treasure} with jug/sugar/teaspoons/T2

this round tray i picked up for .50c {trash n treasure} and has pepper/pink flake salt {from the murray river}/measuring cups/vase

and my third tray i got for $2.50 {salvos} with candle/vase/tealight/photo of my beautiful niece georgia

do you have any silver trays at home and what do you have on them??????

i love seeing, hearing how others decorate etc.......

new shelves.....fun fun

here are my new {little shelves} they look fantastic on the walls and better than i thought, i painted them last week and had to put them up straight away.....you know what it's like when you have a little nook and you don't want a large piece of art???? well these are perfect, i'm really big on adding different dimensions eg......not all canvas, not all frames etc....mixing it up

i love texture and artworks that pop, i also did a black one....

happy tuesday to you all, i feel like i'm back.......

do you ever feel in limbo when you get back from holidays???? it's taken me almost 3 weeks to get back into the swing of things again......to all you mother's out there with the holidays coming to an end and kids going back to school, i hope for smooth transitions big smooch
