My Chalkboard Platter

I got a great idea from

creeping some blogs, (so many beautiful platters!)

So I went to the thrift store and bought a cheap silver tray,

 

And just a note, this was not a gift to me..lol

So I primed it and painted it with chalkboard spray paint,

and pulled a ribbon through it .

Really cheap...about $10 total for everything AND I

have enough spray paint to do about 4 more...haha.
I let it dry over night and then in my neatest handwriting

I wrote my message to my family....

Cioccolata Calda means Hot Chocolate in Italian.
(gotta love google!)
I am super happy with it and how it has filled the void above

the window so well.

Now when the right curtains jump out at me I

think I will be ready, and of course theres that chandelier,haha.

 Sorry for the dark pictures...
