So if you saw this on the curb would you of taken it home?
I couldn't believe my eyes when I spied this beauty on my walk around the neighborhood last evening. It is huge and hand painted with these beautiful flowers. One person's trash has become my treasure.
How could I possibly leave this on the curb?
Obviously I didn't and I think it makes a great fireplace screen for the summer months when we aren't using the fireplace.
Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a lovely week.
xo,
Danielle

Beautiful, I would have brought it home!
Hey Daniele. I would had definitely picked it up myself. Maybe not kept it or maybe I would but definitely not leave it. What was the previous owner thinking when they decided to throw it away. Oh, well like you said someones trash is now your treasure. Enjoy it.

My Grandma used to have trays like that...I think she may have even painted them herself. Yours is a real find and I LOVE it as a screen for your fireplace.
Oh my, Danielle, I would even pay money for tole trays, let alone bend over to pick it up by the road. I love black trays with flowers!
totally would have grabbed it too! gorgeous! ;)
Lucky duck on that tray..could snapping up that fun piece. Great fireplace and display..had to enlarge that photo for a closer look!
OH YES I would have taken that home...I can't believe someone would put that out!! Great find, Danielle!
Love it so much - love your whole fireplace area - super great!
Take care, Laura
Danielle,

I have a collection of black tole trays, and believe me none of them were free on the curb! I can't fathom that somebody threw that tray in the trash. It makes a perfect flowery firescreen!
Well, do you want to cry? Is yours a tray with fold out legs under it? Well, I had one that looked almost identical to this and SOMEONE who shall remain nameless but is about 5 ye years old and spends a bit of time here...well, she jumped on it to try and reach something and the tin folded in the center like a warm knife cutting through butter. UGH...
I would have picked it for sure! xo Diana
Oh.My.Gosh. I cannot believe someone threw that out! I would have hugged it to my chest and RUN all the way home. Huge high five!!
Wow, what a beautiful trash.
Yes, a real treasure it is!
Special made for you I think. It looks a little bit like your coulorful header.
Gorgeous find, Danielly, good eye, great save.
enJOY,

So beautiful! It is amazing what people consider trash. So glad it is being cherished in your home! Have a lovely week! xo Heather
I am the same way, Danielle! She would have been here in my home, somewhere, too! Your fireplace is lovely! Love all of your items. The glass window with the lace and bluebird is so beautiful, and add the tray in front of the fireplace! WOW!
Beautiful!
