My favorite thing about TJR is the people. I always leave TJR in total awe of the talented and creative people. The...

I love trays of all shapes and sizes! There are no rules to styling a tray, but I have noticed that I do lean towards the same type of items each time I style a tray! You can really use anything to style your tray.  Let's get styling! 1. Start with your favorite tray Any tray will work! I used our Square Tray!  2. Add some height The best way I know to do this is with books! I like to make a stack of 2 or 3 books. I REALLY like vintage books! That's the teacher and reader in...
