I love all kinds of trays, from tarnished brass or silver, to tole and wicker. For this "2nd Time Around Tuesday," I'd like to share a few of my tole trays.
Please be sure and visit our gracious hostess Diane at A Picture is Worth a 1000 Words, and see the beautiful watercolor prints she bought at an estate sale, plus everyone else's treasures featured today.
This is the first tole tray I bought many years ago at an antiques sale in Jackson, Mississippi. This was "way back in the good old days" before eBay, when you could buy trays like this for $35.00, which I did ...
[You can click on the pictures to enlarge them, if you'd like]
These two trays are also seen from my kitchen. My sweet daughter Whitney (Avery's mama) gave me this one ...
And I can't remember where I bought this one ...
They are hanging in the breakfast area between two windows ...
This is my newest addition to my collection and it's on top of my china cabinet in our dining room ...
I love pineapples and, although this tray is not tole, it's one of my favorites and is also in my kitchen ...
I've enjoyed sharing my trays today, and look forward to visiting the other participants in this "2nd Time Around Tuesday." Thank you again, Diane, for taking the time to be our hostess.

Hi Janie,
You have such excellent taste. All of the trays blend so perfectly into the decor of your home. In fact I think all the pictures look like something from a magazine!
Thanks for linking to 2nd Time Around and for showing us your trays!

Your trays are so pretty! You know I love your kitchen too.
I've wanted to collect tole trays. Look at them on e-bay pretty often but I'm too chicken to order.
Good morning! I love your trays - I'm really pulled to the pears on top of your kitchen cabinets - where did you find those! I'm breaking a commandment - I'm jealous of your kitchen! LOL
Your kitchen is gorgeous & I also loved those pears! Tole trays have gone sky high in the last few years and you have a beautiful collection of them...they're so well displayed... ;-) Bo
You have a beautiful home. Love the tray placed behind your stove in the kitchen. Really stands out in that spot and show cases it!
My mother had one exactly like the one your daughter Whitney gave you. I especially like the pineapple one.

I so love all your beautiful trays, Janie. I have only 1 tole tray and it isn't very pretty. Yours, however, are out of this world....just as your entire home is to*die*for* !!

All of your trays are beautiful and look so perfect in "their" spots. Happy Tuesday!
Thanks for sharing your trays. I had one and just found a very small one at Goodwill I couldn't resist.
BTW, you home is lovely. The kitchen looks familiar. Did you post your kitchen on RMS a while back?
I have added your site as a favorite of mine.
LOVE them !!! Janie your home is such a comfy place and I love where you placed the trays...
