My latest trip to Goodwill was a lucky one indeed!
Sometimes I even think I hear the store calling to me when there is a wonderful treasure there just waiting for me!
This large footed tray with gorgeous repousse detailed edges took my breath away when I spotted it! Though heavily tarnished I knew with a bit of polishing with my Wright's silver polish cream, I could bring it back to it's sparkling glory!
No that doesn't say $499.00 it says $4.99. Woo hoo!
Although I have seen similiar repousse silver trays on
e-bay for much more that 500 bucks!
Here it is all polished up and ready to serve up a lovely tea!
I like to leave just a bit of the tarnish in the crevices to bring out the wonderful detail!
Serving up some tea or goodies on a lovely silver tray is a perfect way to treat yourself, or make that special someone in your life feel extra special!

We are having some wonderful sunny weather here!
I have started doing a bit of early Spring cleaning around my house!
Also my hubby and I have been busy helping his Mom with some sprucing up
around her house too!

Funny how a little sunny weather inspires me to clean!
How bout you?!
Have a wonderful week!

Oh I am in love with silver and your tray is definitely stunning. What a wonderful find. I love the coffee display on the bed. Such a lovely piece and vignette. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
sherri,
You just reminded me that I think I have a tray like that somewhere, I will have to hunt it up. lol
It looks absolutely perfect on that bed. What a nice thing to do for a guest or just for yourself
to sit in bed and read a bit and have some tea
and goodies for breakfast, sounds like a fun plan to me!!
I have been doing a lil spring cleaning myself.
Yea, the nicer weather does make you feel more like cleaning I have to say.
blessings, Nellie
Very pretty tray, Sherri! And what a great bargain. I never have much luck at Goodwill, but maybe I don't go often enough. Your tea set looks beautiful on it and I love your pretty comforter.
Spring cleaning? I have been doing a little organizing, but I'll leave the cleaning until the sun comes out here!

Sherri- I love your new tray! It looks so pretty topped with your little tea set arrangement sitting on your bed.
So you've been cleaning, huh? Oh honey, I know what you mean! I'm scrubbing grout- such fun- not!
The weather didn't inspire me though- we're still having winter! LOL Enjoy your sunshine, Sherri!
hugs, Sue

Hi Sherri,
Your tray is lovely and such an amazing price.I never have much luck at goodwill. The tray and tea cup look wonderful on your bed. Linda
What a find! Sherri, I'm so glad GW called your name when this beauty was in the store, because you shined it up and made such a pretty tea setting on it. It looks like a bed and breakfast tray on your pretty bed (love the Morning Glory pillow). laurie
I would definitely enjoy my cup of tea served with this pretty tray.
shut the door! are you kidding? $4.99? you're right $499.00 would be more like it! you did a beautiful job arranging everything on it too.
showing my home inspires me to clean...but we're nearly done with the process. Hallelujah!
Lovely tray! It would be wonderful to cuddle up in that beautiful bedroom with a cup of tea. Just make mine decafinated,lol!
