Hooray, it's Thursday! I love old stuff! (Teen says, "I hate Thursdays - Science tutor!")
Here's a two-in-one that I picked up at an antique store here in town. I love this retro plant stand - think I might paint it red! The large biscuit tin is adorned with hollyhocks and a picket fence!
In general, I'm not a "blue" person, but I like it to intersperse with my reds. This tray was purchased with the above, might be part of a child's tea set. The border attracted me, not the color - it's so "suburban"!
Have a great VTT everyone! For those of you not familiar with VTT, it stands for Vintage Thingies Thursdays, where we get to show off our vintage items. It is hosted by Suzanne at Coloradolady.blogspot.com!

I love the designs on your old tin pieces. I think the plant stand will look nice in red.
Oh Sue!
I so love this metal plant stand. I too would paint it red. It would really pop. I have lots of my furniture outside painted red, that sits around the pool area. Looks so festive and all.
I reall love the tin. Hollyhocks are some of my favs. I remember Moma making us dolls from her hollyhocks that were planted along the back fence of our yard. Thank you for the memory this morning.
I agree this little tray may have been part of a child's tea set. Is is not precious. I love blue so that is something I too, would have purchased. They look so pretty behind things against the wall, or displayed on a table or chair, with a little special something sitting on it.
Thanks for sharing this morning. Country hugs, Sherry
Old tins are so amazing! Its like everything was done with the intention of being around a long time not just being a piece of junk. Like uh...now!
Wow I love the vintage items. The tray is great. You can use that for so many things.

This looks like it is a fun particpation.

Lovely tin and the tray, now that was in everyone's kitchen back in the day. Most of my female relatives had one or two serving trays like this that was always in use.
Yes, paint the plant stand red, or spray with a red laquer. I think that would look so great!

I love blue and intersperse reds, LOL. All you have is neat. The plant stand looks like what we had to hold firewood in, with extra racks in the middle. They were pretty creative with that metal ring design, huh.
I'm here late today, but better late than never! :)

I adore that plantstand! I've been eyeballing one for a year now at an antique store, but I just can't justify the $40 price tag! And that tin! Oh my, you've got a knack for finding great old tins!
Happy VTT!
