While reading Sharon's message in Maryann's thread about her mom's recipe cards, etc., I got an idea. A while back I picked up the Premiere issue of Yum magazine. I talked about it on here. One of the things I liked about the magazine was their ideas for entertaining.
There was this one spread about using picture frames for trays. Some frames had old botanical posters...very pretty, but my favorite was the one with a collage of postcards. They had some flipped over to show the picture side and some showing the handwritten message. It was very cool.
Now for my idea. Why not imitate the postcard idea, but use old family photos and old handwritten recipe cards...the messier and stained, the better. I think that would make a great memento, but also a great serving tray for a table scape.
Whatcha think?
