I saw it tossed on the bottom shelf of the thrift store, I sucked in my breath as I reached down to pick it up.

Priced at $9.99, I don't normally spend that much on thrift store purchases, I walked away, left the store got in my car, and couldn't get that tray out of my mind, so I went back in and bought it.

| With a little elbow grease, the flowers ... |
 |
| the saw tooth edge and the rope handle ... |
 |
| along with this fabulous plate featuring a compote with flowers and fruit... |
 |
| made by Lomoges ... |
 |
| create this stunning serving tray. |
This tray is totally not my style, it is extremely large, 21" from handle to handle, and 16.5" in diameter, but I thought it was beautiful.
