For awhile now I have wanted a tiered tray for seasonal and holiday decorating. I have seen many styles and sizes of tiered trays on Pinterest and Etsy, each filled with all sorts of fun and creative items for Valentine’s, Easter, Fall, Christmas, etc.
I looked and looked at many tiered trays online but either the price or the style wasn’t right. Finally a pop-up ad caught my attention for an off-white wooden three-tiered tray and the price was reasonable. I ordered the tiered tray and it was literally here within 48 hours! I needed to assemble it…fortunately all the parts were there and even a little wrench was included to tighten the parts!
Now the fun part of filling it! Well…this turned out to be more of a challenge than I thought. It took multiple re-doings to finally get things arranged to my liking. I actually had to go back to Pinterest and Etsy to study their decorated tiered trays. A variety of size, texture, color, and height of the filler items is important to create the right balance and interest.
So using items I already have on hand…here is my decorated three-tiered tray for this Autumn and Halloween season…during the day and lit up at night.
*1st note…for those familiar with our home…after I concluded the Themed Teas, I moved the stacks of storage drawers from the TV-sunroom to an upstairs room and replaced that space with one of my antique oak dressers. I have the tiered tray displayed on this dresser. So much prettier to look at when I am sitting in my comfy chair!
*2nd note…the pieced and quilted Jack-O-Lantern wall hoop is something I made decades ago…still looks good!
