Flag Tray from Sur La Table



Did you see Susan's tutorial on her beautiful blog

Between Naps On The Porch

on how to make a Pottery Barn knock-off flag for your wall?


She went to a great deal of effort to get this DARLING

smaller version completed for the top of her hutch on the porch.

I showed it to my husband & told him

"You could do this, ya' know"

His reply was.... "YOU could do it, too, you know!"



Instead, I went shopping here

& found...

THIS big tray at

P7140002


Sur La Table on sale!

Marked down from $30 to only $12.

~~BIG SMILE~~

They had lots of other July 4th items marked down 40%, too.

I need to clear off the top of the bakers rack to

position it properly but I couldn't wait to show you how cute

it goes with all my patriotic items!

Oh & let me share with you my cute little porcelain soup tureen.

(Found that at my favorite thrift store, not Sur La Table)

Lets take a closer look...

Isn't she adorable?

I love all her scrolls & curves & embossed flowers!

I bought a similar, MUCH bigger, but not a twin

soup tureen that I'll show you in an upcoming post.


So, if you're not inclined to cut wood & paint strips & glue on stars,

like Susan did,

RUN to your nearest Sur La Table store & grab

a flag tray instead.

  13. Rett, I saw these trays at Sur La Table on Wednesday when I stopped by to return something. I was really tempted. All there 4th of July things were marked down to great prices. Where to put it? That's the big question here. LOL
    Glad you got one. It will look terrific on the baker's rack.
    Happy weekend! ~ Sarah

  15. Rett, I just realized that I could go shopping at Easton for a visit to Sur la Table, but your shopping center there looks a lot nicer! Wow. Your tray is such a fun and fantastic look and I love your "new" tureen. I want to come shopping with you! Also wanted to say your last post of the potato salad looked so delish. Missed having you with us today- We're hoping the fall will bring us together again and that you'll be able to join us. It was so very hot/humid today but we still had a good time together. Stay cool!

  18. Love your Flag tray but alas we do not have a Sur la Table in our area, Boo, BUT I am off to check online. I'm with you, if one can buy it for $12.00, why make it???? Thanks for sharing and that is a beautiful shopping area.

    I love Sur La Table, but have not visited in awhile. The tray is awesome and that tureen is too cute!
    In response to your queston on my blog, the doll bunny slippers were purchased at Michael's. Let me know if you cannot find them. I am happy to be a personal shopper!

  26. First of all, what a great shopping center, Rett! Great find on the tray. You and your hubby's conversation about the flag piece sounds like me and my hubby only in reverse. : ) That little tureen is not only adorable, but I love the detail on it. So cute with a little ladle, too!
