Tea Tray with my GW finds

 I was at goodwill on the 22nd and I spied 2 tiny teapots and what is supposed to be a toothpic holder.. But ya'll know I often use things in ways other than their intended purpose:)   The teapots were 50 cents each and the toothpic holder was 25 cents..  Can I spend money like it was water or what lol..  I made a quick run in Hobby Lobby and they had napkins on sale for 99 cents.  There were some black with white polka dot ones calling my name and I listened..  I had the polka dot ribbon so I was set..  I like it and for less than $5.00 too.
  I used one pot for cream and the other for splenda and the lil holder for a candle.   I've had the tray awhile but decided to line the bottom with some of my document wrapping paper from Ballard. I love that paper and I have lots of ideas for using it that have nothing to do with wrapping .. 
I love black and white and I plan to add some grey to that mix this year. I LOVE those polka dot napkins.
 I may go back and see if they have more and make a couple of pillows out of them.. They are Large:)
 I'm partying with Marty~Tabletop Tuesday
((if i find any more parties, I'll add them, so check back))  I need to find the party list ..
Whats It Wednesday at Ivy and Elephants
Thanks so much for visiting me..   You know I love having you in my home.
xoxo

    Sonny, your tray looks so pretty in all of its black and white loveliness, and how clever you are to use those little tea pots that way. I'm also a lover of that document paper, but didn't buy any. Can't wait to see what you do with it. laurie

    Funny you should post about tea pots. I have a collection packed away and I came across them today. I have to start alternating some decor. Hope you had a good day Sonny, you made a very pretty vignette.

    Hi Sonny,
    Sure hope you had a delightful birthday, and if you had tea with this tray, it must have been!! lol
    I really like polkadots too, and the black and white looks so pretty, love the back drop of your sofa and curtains and all. Very sophisticated!
    and pretty! I am getting a thing for black and white, between my daughter and other bloggers, they are rubbing off. My daughter has Black, white and red, so I will just have to enjoy it at her house cause I don't have anything that goes with it in my house............lol

    Hope you had a wonderful Birthday and Christmas hon.
    Take care,
    Love and Blessings, Nellie

    Love your Goodwill deals! The napkins made me swoon. I have never seen cloth napkins at any of our Hobby Lobby's. What part of the store did you find them?
