Finally found my tray!

I have been on the hunt for a tray to set on the coffee table. It was always a challenge since the table is oval and not what you'd call oversized.  I like how things seem more interesting collected together on a tray. 

 When I found it - it was loaded with a bunch of stuff, had a few tiny scratches on it but I knew it was what I wanted.  They gave us a discount on it because of the little scratches. Once it was home we used a little kit we have for furniture repair and you'd never know there had been anything there.

   I liked the little edge design it had on it. 

I used pieces that I had around the room already and it was as though they'd been waiting to be put there. The lidded marble jar has been up on the mantel for a while and I really never imagined it working on the table but I like it because it offers a different texture to the setting. 

 The candle holder is a favorite of mine because that gold interior makes it look like a glowing fire. The glass cylinder bowl was on my chest that's behind the sofa and had this pot-pourri mix in it that has all the colors of my room. 

 The magnifying glass was looking for a home since it had been displaced a while back. 



  I moved my candle bowl arrangement to the chest up behind the sofa. It used to be on the coffee table.

 I'm happy....I finally found my tray!
