Beachy candles…

 I’m always on the watch for inexpensive silver trays at estate sales {more accurately, these are silver plated trays, and the one to the right is “restaurant silver”, a blend of metals}. I love adopting a little piece of history and making sure the trays are used and enjoyed. 

The trays do a splendid job of framing and containing my collections and making them look “finished’.  Because they are not my family heirlooms, I feel comfortable filling them sand, seashells, 
coral balls and candles,

canning jars configured into lanterns,

 and maybe even some sweet peas, beachwood and sea glass.

These displays on trays can easily be moved outside, inside, boatside…  anywhere I need a beachy glow for a summer evening.

  • Great idea. I just love silver trays and have an assortment of mostly plate ones myself of varying qualities. Do you know my blogging friend Nan over at Silver Magpies? She has a wonderful selection of antique silver!!

  • I too purchase these sorts of trays to finish off my collections. In addition, I use them to transport food to parties, then if I do not get it back I am not too upset!

    Love the candles and the collections.
