I spent today out and about.  My youngest son, Calvin, had a doctor’s appointment and then I had to drive him an hour to school, meet him for lunch to give him insulin (it was a special lunch away from school) and kill time for a couple of hours until it was time to pick the boys up from school.

Did you spot the metal tray in my post yesterday? It’s actually a set of three and it’s my Designer Pick for Antique Farmhouse today! I like pieces that are versatile and corral little items that might otherwise look like clutter and these metal trays are perfect for that. I used these to style the shoe cart in my studio, but I’m thinking they would be great for magazines, books, oils and condiments by the stove, toiletries, office supplies, craft supplies, as the base to a table centerpiece, or a way to hold plants to protect a table from water rings.  Endless possibilities.
