I have a lot of "favorites" in my house. My husband knows that in our many moves there are those things that I would probably fall apart if I did not have, my art work is a huge one of those things, but the 1950's Cocktail tray above is like a security blanket to me. Years ago my parents had a house full of vintage goodies and I fell in love with almost everything. I acquired this cocktail tray from my mother as well as quite a few other great vintage pieces I will be saving for later, and it makes me feel like home. My parents no longer live in the house I grew up in, so I can't honestly go "home" anymore and with our extremely transient lifestyle, having special pieces that can make you feel warm inside is so very important. So I hope on our next upcoming move that this tray makes it safely and can start making our next house feel like home.

No wonder you love this tray. I loved it immediately and do not have the emotional attachment to it that you do. It must be hard moving so often, but it is nice to have a few things that you hang onto regardless.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute vintage tray. I love it. Very 50's. Sorry I am so late in commenting, I had a hard time getting back to the VTT site on apron queen's site for some reason. Great vintage tray.
