I found this vintage tray last year at a garage sale. It was dirty, pink and ugly, so I bought it! Why? Because it's magical!
I painted it AS cream chalk paint, which is a soft butter yellow, and added this French postage graphic from The Graphic Fairy! What is magical about this tray is, it not only has fold-down legs...
...But is also has a tilt top!
It has three levels of tilt as viewed from the back (under).
I also did a bit of paint embelishing!

Awesome find Terry - beautiful makeover! I love the French postal graphic you choose for this piece - very fitting considering in the day it was probably used to write snail mail letters (remember those) LOL. Glad I found it over at the Flaunt It Friday Party!

OH my, I found an exact replica at an antique store and have it on the guest room bed. I spell out messages with scrabble pieces for my guests. Mine is in great shape but I like yours a lot. Dilemma: Do I paint mine too???
