Though Mom never cooked in heels, she was a fan of the Sears Kitchen Book.

After I washed some serving trays and was getting ready to dry them, I noticed the pretty shapes and had to go get my camera. Hope you have a great day.

No, not mine. But I was thinking about a birthday when I made it. Happy Birthday Jovan.

Me: The burgers!

 

Mom: Oh wow. These were like...little Hawaiian burgers. They probably came from the menu. They were cute! Oh and see, I probably cut a star out of a pepper for the salad.

After our Cowboy Church Bible study on grace, we were invited to take bread and dip into the juice as we contemplated the wonderful mercy and grace God has had toward us.

 

Many know, but not all, that bread in the Bible was used by Yahshua (Jesus) to represent His body and wine (though we used juice) to represent His blood. The application of tonight's study was in how many things we carry with us in our lack of mercy toward ourselves and others, and how we can lighten that load by giving it all to God. I don't think I'll ever see rocks the same since our teacher Joy used rocks to demonstrate the judgments we use to build up that weighty load. What a blessing to know that by the blood of Christ, we can be delivered from all that weighs us down. Like He said to the woman caught in the sin of adultery, (my paraphrase) "Woman, go now. You are free to sin no more because the ones I set free are free indeed."

Through some borrowing and favors I assembled various states of #silver for the week's catchy colors theme.

 

At the top, a Reed & Barton "Lark" pattern silver spoon and a National Silverplate silver plated spoon sit atop an old silver ingot from the San Francisco Assay Office.

 

In the center, a 1969 Kennedy silver half-dollar and a 1954 Franklin silver half-dollar (yes, kids, the US used to make coins from real silver) lie at either end of what initially appears to be a dollar bill but is actually a silver certificate certifying that there is on deposit in the US Treasury one dollar in silver payable to the bearer on demand.

 

At the bottom is a piece of Mexican silver jewelry.

 

The collection is sitting on a silver-plated serving tray.

This little Dansk teak tray holds a secret: The handle doubles as a cheese knife when you pull it out. Bond would be proud.

working with decoupage, not finished yet needs several layers of varnish still.

Me: So you're happy.

 

Mom: Yes. Dad looks like he got a haircut.

 

Me: Lots of plants..or fake plants.

 

Mom: Well, I was coming into my own. You know, I didn't realize what I gardener I'd become. But I was just fascinated by flowers.

 

Me: Well lots of the fashions of the time had flowers and such.

 

Mom: Yes. And I sometimes miss those fabrics.

Polymer clay tiles created using various techniques. The brilliant blue tiles were created with mica shift, the lime green back feathers were simply a skinner blend of greens, and the darker green tail feathers were a take on Lynda Moseley's controlled blending technique. For these green tail feathers I did a controlled blend of teal and emerald greens with one contrast of rust red, then I took the blended sheet and cut it into strips which I assembled bargello style before I cut all of the individual tiles. The background was a blend of clays and mica powders to create a look similar to Travertine marble. The hundreds (possibly more) pieces were all hand cut and individually glued in place, then a grout was smoothed over the entire piece. The piece was sanded and buffed and coated with a protective finish.

Me: "Don't look uncertain, you look fantastic!"

 

Mom: [laughs] I was looking uncertain!

 

Me: And that's your lemon cake.

 

Mom: Yes! And see those roses? They were little rose toothpicks, and they were my treasures when I found them.

 

Me: Where did you find them?

 

Mom: There were stores on Flatbush Avenue that had all sorts of kinda inexpensive things like that. Oh, and those were my spritz cookies.

I didn't like the Ikea serving tray my wife bought so I built this awesome one. I liked the herringbone pattern and wanted to try it out.

Here is how I built it:

 

I cut a sheet of 3 ply to the size I wanted with a hand saw.

Next, I picked out some dark and light colored wood for the pattern. I wanted light and dark, light and dark, etc.

I measured and cut each piece to fit on the ply cut ply.

Gave the underside of each piece a rough sand with 60 grit sandpaper

Glue!! I didn't use any nails because I wanted each piece of timber to look 100% itself. I glued the back and each side.

Glue!!! Again... it took a while because I didn't have many clamps, so I had to wait for a few pieces to dry before moving on.

Sanding. 60 Grit with the orbital then 120 till smooth. This took a while.

Even though I cut all four sides on my table saw, I still had gaps, so I used glue and sawdust to fill the gaps then sanded again.

For some reason, I thought I should stain it before I put the sides on. Oops! When I put the sides on, I had some gaps.

Cut side pieces to fit.

Sand board edge to better fit side boards.

Attach sides.

Sand, again... 60 then 120 then 200.

Fill gaps between side boards base with glue and sawdust.

Sand again!!!! This time, it was hard with all the corners.

Stain with a light stain to keep the color of the wood bright.

Poly with a brush.

Sand with a 220 (I think) till it was smooth.

Poly again.

Add handles. I hadn't decided what handles to use, so they came a few days later.

Me: What about those butterfly pictures? We had them in Bellmore.

 

Mom: Yeah, I always loved them. The butterflies are so beautiful. Of course, now I wouldn't have...I mean, I don't know if they were real, but they looked real.

 

Me: From what I remember, the wings definitely were real, but the bodies made of little paper or cardboard cut-outs.

 

Mom: Oh, all right.

 

Me: Where did you get them?

 

Mom: In B. Altman's. Now, look! I still have virtually every single serving tray here. The salad bowls, I still have. The big salad bowl. And the big footed cake dish...it was an engagement present. I used it for everything...for hors d'œuvres, cake, shrimp cocktail. It's still one of my very favorite pieces.

Family is very important to my Montreal Italian family. However, when we have supper, we don't include the ENTIRE family all the time. On Christmas, Easter and special occasions, the entire family will get together, but on a regular night, we like to keep dinner small, quiet and intimate.

Mom: This is Aunt Millie and Uncle John. Uncle John and Grandpa always thought what I did was wonderful. Oh yeah, Uncle John has a cigar in his pocket, too.

 

Me: Would they smoke inside or outside the apartment?

 

Mom: I don't ever remember them smoking them inside the apartment. I don't think I ever remember them smoking it all. I think cigars were just given out at these parties—it was the manly thing to do. Aunt Millie would NEVER let John smoke inside! They'd more or less smoke it when they went somewhere with men. Millie would make such a fuss that he wouldn't even dare try.

The abstract design on this tray looked cool and I also liked the colors.

 

It is big enough to hold quite a few drinks/snacks and was reasonably priced at two bucks.

I was looking through Pinterest one day and saw many serving trays. However, many were priced at $50 and up! To be honest, they weren't that nice or extraordinary. I used my Shopsmith Mark V woodworking system to build this project. The system has a table saw, bandsaw, disc sander and drum sander all built in. This made it easy to make this Elegant Pallet Wood Serving Tray. On this project, I used all of the attachments to make one for myself. My project measures 15" x 20" with handles bought at the local hardware store. However, all of the wood is from pallets.

 

Elegant Pallet Wood Serving Tray:

First, I broke down a pallet, removed the nails, and sanded the wood smooth. I cut the boards to length for the bottom of the tray, and carefully sanded the adjacent sides for a snug fit. Next, I cut the two end pieces and added the curves in so the handles wouldn't be so high off of the tray. I butt-joined the side pieces together and then installed the bottom boards onto the frame. Finally, I sanded it all carefully before I stained it, and applied a varnish to protect it. I'm very pleased with how this came out!

  

This tray is stunning! But we have even more terrific ideas, like this Pallet Wood Tray With Cutlery Holder!

This will be the last Christmas painting that will be signed and dated in 2015, but not the last painting! There is still one more day left in this wonderful year!

This tray was built by my husband, I designed and painted the Santa and "Merry Christmas" is on the reverse side and a plaid design around the outside. It's perfect for Christmas time goodies!

Mom: Even in those days I decorated it really pretty! OK, so there's the aspic.

 

Me: Was gelatin part of the luau ideal?

 

Mom: Well [laughs] it was Jell-O with fresh fruit. I loved making them.

 

Me: I also see salads.

 

Mom: The big one in front would have to be potato salad, and the smaller one is probably macaroni salad. Looks like there's also roast beef.

 

Me: Was that one of the suggested luau dishes?

 

Mom: Probably not, but I knew Nanny and Aunt Millie would like it. I'm sure pork was more authentic, but even those days I improvised.
