A Pretty Yellow Tray and Some Pink Flowers

Monday, February 21, 2011



A few months ago I picked up a little yellow tray at Simply Cottage in Bracebridge, Ontario. I thought it would look perfect on the antique trunk (that I still want to paint) in the living room. It was less than $20, too. Sold. 


I'm not sure what's going on with the tray thing. A few months ago I used to have one tray. All of a sudden I have five! Is it just me or does every surface look better with a tray and a few trinkets on it???


Along with trays, I'm really digging pink right now. Just a bit of it. Alex surprised me with a pretty bouquet of flowers on Friday so I took a few out and placed them in some different sized glass jars. 


I'm having a bit of a tear that the long weekend is coming to an end. But we've still got big plans for the rest of the night. Breakfast for supper (mmmm, bacon) and a few episodes of Modern Family (my new favourite show).


Don't tell anyone but it's 6:00 p.m. and I'm still in my pajamas. Awesome.


P.S. I had a little photoshoot with my camera and these flowers today. I got a few good shots even though the sun was going down and it was getting shadowy. It helps when you take 150 pictures and pick the best six. Heh heh heh......

  11. My mom is like you and has trays all over the house. Even when shopping, they always catch her eye. So creative how you arranged your flowers in the jars instead of just one container.

  12. First, your pictures are beautiful! Second, I'm glad you haven't painted that trunk. I love the wood tone and the tray looks especially cute on it. And third, I always take a gazillion shots and then am only left with a few I like :)
