Last week I had such a wonderful, happy day out!

Before meeting my sweet sister for lunch, I stopped by the thrift store.

Found this really special bed tray for $4.00.

I had never seen one like this before, and was sure it was a vintage piece.

Well, I was sure until I found a small sticker on the back, “made in China”!

Bummer!

No matter, I love it just the same.

It only needed a bit of work, cleaned and scrubbed, sanded, two coats of white chalk paint, and a coat of wax sealer to finish up!

I also sanded the edges, so the tray didn’t have such a perfect look about it.

Love the scalloped edges, also that it can be a flat tray or bed tray.

Love it!

There are many days when I need to be alone, those many cold winter days, days when I can’t go out and sit on my back porch, so I retreat to my bed, have my coffee and read.

Have you noticed that it doesn’t take too much for me to have a happy day?

Just simple things!

A thrift store project, lunch, and lots of hugs from my sister.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share with all of you today.

I love that I made this “vintage tray” like new again.

Blessings.
