I love tole trays and seek them out at thrift and antique
shops. The text on this one reads ~
"He Who Gardens Shall Never Starve"
I found this one while visiting some lovely antique
shops in New Hampshire. It's one of my favorites!
This is a recent acquisition. I am giving it to my Mom
and we are going to use it as the top for a tray table in
her solarium. I'll post the pics when we are finished.
So what do you like to collect?
I am joining some fun parties ~
and
Yes Bentley ~ I know you have quite a big
collection of toys! Maybe we'll show them soon.
Love,
Susan and Bentley

i was just looking at vintage tole trays on ebay!!
ReplyDeletelove yours!
You have a very nice start on tray collecting. I enjoyed visiting and seeing all the different ones.
ReplyDeleteI have several of those trays and love them and to think you snatch one out from under my nose:0) I live about 15 minutes from there.

I tend to collect more dust than anything else. But that's not on purpose!

I love tole trays too, but I also love collecting jadite and tea cups and....and...I could go on. Do I have a junkin fetish? ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful tole treasures. These are so pricey & good conditioned ones are hard to find. Love the white one, will look forward to see what you & Mother do with it.
ReplyDeleteHave a beautiful weekend.

I love anything "tole", Susan. I have been eyeing some tole tv trays on ebay. I am thinking they would be great for me to eat dinner on, while I watch Mary :) Your trays are lovely.

I started collecting tole trays about 20 years ago and now have a collection of about 15 or so...I am trying to figure out a way to display them so that they don't overpower my white, grey and pastel color palette in the house. Most of my trays are black...any ideas?
ReplyDeleteLovely trays! Thanks for linking it up!
ReplyDeleteSherry
