For the love of art & entertaining…
I’m super-excited because tonight, my boyfriend and I are going out for tapas. I haven’t had tapas in ages! What are tapas you ask? You can find a more detailed description here. In short, tapas are Spanish “little plates of food.” If you haven’t tried tapas before, what are you waiting for? Super fun with a group of friends – order a bunch of tapas and everyone shares!
So, tonight I bring you an absolutely beautiful find from the Etsy store Tapas Trays. This store offers the most beautiful handmade
serving trays. Each tray is designed, hand cut, kiln formed and assembled by the shop owner and features durable metal handles for easy carrying and rubber “feet” on the bottom to protect the underlying surface. You won’t find two identical pieces in this shop and you’ll be happy to know that shipping is included (to anywhere in the United States) in the prices you see! You can use these trays for anything – not just for serving tapas. Use them to set out cheese & crackers or arrange a fresh fruit platter!
Love the product but want your own design? No worries, Tapas Trays will do a custom order for you! I also recommend checking out Tapas Trays website, where you can see a photo gallery of designs, new designs and more. All purchasing, however, is done through their Etsy shop.
So, who can guess which trays I’ve got my eye on?

I already ate yet I’m still starving. I’m craving massive amounts of junk food and I can’t help it. I like to bake but I just don’t have much time anymore now that I’m working again. I barely have time to breathe let alone eat. Thankfully I have Etsy to browse in my spare time. [...]
Hats off…

…in perfect harmony! The first thing that came to my mind when I stumbled across this amazing handmade find was this old jingle once used in Coca-Cola commercials. It made me a little nostalgic and homesick as I sit here thinking about one of my good friends back in Chicagoland who has a whole cozy [...]

Yes, it’s that time of the year where college basketball teams vie to be the number one team in the nation. It also means my boyfriend’s birthday is quickly approaching. And, it just so happens that [...]

There is no one that appreciates a great cup of coffee more than I. I may not drink it every morning, or I may opt for an iced coffee, but I do love my coffee. And I’m not talking Folgers or something like that. I love to try different brands and flavors. Whole bean or [...]
