...'tray'-dreaming

'Quickie' stop by the thrift the other day to drop off a couple of bags of donations...

...and to get a 'stuff-fix' in this cold-weather, mid-winter, junkin' drought!

I did LOTS of ...looking and ...hunting and ...digging, but alas the only things that truly captivated me to the point of hauling them away were these three.silly.trays.

They will joint another of my 'I DO NOT COLLECT' collections, that I can't seem to leave behind. Vintage Souvenir trays from States that I have visited.

That was it. Three measly little trays. Retro BBQ. Maine. Arizona. Fifty cents each. The Maine reminiscent of almost yearly visits for the past 20yrs... Arizona ~ J's college alma mater...

For lack of anything else more interesting to post about, I'll give you a glimpse behind our cabinet doors, into our 'non-tray-collection'....

high upon a shelf... but still within easy reach, because a different tray is used almost nightly during the summer months to carry dinner supplies from the kitchen to the porch...

most of the trays are the typical vintage black background of just states that we frequent

occasionally I stumble upon one from an 'extra speshul' journey that I just can't resist!!

(New Orleans, Montreal, Las Vegas)

some locations that you frequent ALL.THE.TIME. you just have to double down on!

Then there are others that I have never been to, and just 'tray'-dream about...

(plus it went BEAUTIFULLY with our Hawaiian porch a couple of summers ago!!!)
