Glass Tray transformation and Bloggers Lunch

I never pass up glass trays, these babies are just begging to be transformed

Oh yes, remember these?  I think they were from the 80's and went great with pineapple decor.

  Do you remember when pineapples were all the rage?  I had pineapple wallpaper and brown carpets!

Just be sure that the tray has screws or some way to remove the glass.  Some trays are sealed, then you would end up with an 80's tray you can't do anything with and you will probably have to get brown carpet.

I painted it heirloom white and added vintage fabric.  I didn't shabby it up, sometimes it is better to leave well enough alone.

I think this was from the 80's also

I gave it a coat of heirloom white paint and added a french graphic (Thank You Graphics Fairy) that I printed onto pink satin fabric

Here you have it all spruced up!  

Both are in my booth at Orange Tree.

Now I have to tell you about a fun lunch I went to this week.  I got together with Central Florida Bloggers

Vicki from The Rusty Rooster, Kathy (No blog YET), Me from

The Polka Dot Closet.

Shelley our host from Sweet Pea Home, Sue from SueBees and Susie from

My Home to Yours.

The whole group again with Sweet Sylvia from My Trinkets (Bottom left)

The lunch was at Shelley's gorgeous home!

And included fabulous food,

Susie brought this delicious cake!

If you have not yet gotten together with local bloggers, you should!  It was soooo fun.  Shelley started the ball rolling with a post entitled "Calling all Central Florida Bloggers" and the rest is history.

It was instant bonding and friendship with people that love all the things you do.

We couldn't quit talking about every thrift store, antique store, and antique fair in our part of town.  What was and wasn't selling locally, blogs, and trends.  This was our first get together, but not our last!  

Have you entered my Cottage Charm Giveaway?

Happy Creating!
