I am joining Southern Hospitality’s Today’s Thrifty Treasures Every Monday event.
This past weekend my friend Kate and I headed north to Duluth, MN. We got to meet Amy of WhisperWood Cottage (her ‘personal’ blog) and Junkologie (her business blog) and checked out her Junkologie booth at Old Towne Antiques. I snapped up a red and white enamel tray for $5 and two jars (loved the design) for $1. Plan to use the tray for serving goodies to guests on the front porch. Sometime soon I will share how I am organizing with jars…I am rather addicted to using jars.

I have a tray just like that one but its black and white. Love it. Debbie
Love them. I found some unbelievably large mason jars this weekend. Too high price for my purse but they hand to stand a good foot and half tall by maybe 12 inches round or more. Lovely.
What a deal! The tray has me drooling all over my keyboard.
thanks for the local upcoming events, I hope to check some out.
Nice tray! And how fun to meet up with Amy in person. She is quite the junker & would be fun to shop with.
Your tray is amazing. Love the uniqueness of it. Great find.
Hi Renee,
How fun to meet another blogger and SHOP for treasures! Nice finds.
Hope the garage sales in your neighborhood are good ones. I'm bummed I can't make it...
Deb :)

Jars are so awesome. My aunt loves to use them for drinking glasses.
All the best,
