Soooo, if you haven't guessed by now, I love thrift stores. I love them more than garage sales. Because I don't have to drive, stop, drive, stop, haggle, drive, stop, etc. And typically the prices are fair. I visited one of my favorite thrift stores of the past and was disappointed that their prices went up so high. But, I did find this wooden letter tray that I really did like. It was in good shape and I loved the color.
I knew I wanted it to have a simple message and it is between our kitchen and dining table. So, EAT seems appropriate and to the point. I printed the letters, cut them out, and then traced around them. Tip: To conserve printer ink, change your font to outline only.
I then painted the letters in and applied my favorite antiquing gel on top. Simple, cute and cheap at 99 cents.
