One of my favorite artists is Mary Engelbreit of Missouri.
Her whimsical style of painting is colorful, happy and pleasing to the eye.
I've purchased her calendars for years and have even saved the drawings from those pages.
It was in need of washing and buried under other stuff on a shelf but sure enough! It was the work of Mary Engelbreit.
When I got the tray home, I washed it in hot, soapy water and let it dry.
It's got a darling figure of Santa wearing turned up, elf-like shoes!
The borders are pretty, too.
I love it!
It now adorns the kitchen counter near the sink.
It's as if I received an early Christmas present, a $1.79 Christmas bargain! Woo hoo!
And an early Merry Christmas wish for Mary Engelbreit and each of you!

Girl, you are much more literate in the arts then I am. I have not heard of her. But I can tell you I like that tray and that if I found it I would buy it. Stay warm. sandie
I love her works and this tray is just adorable; so cheery and what a find. XOXO
Lucky you! I have no Christmas tray as such...but then I would have to store it for 11 months wouldn't I? I love ME things too...so cheery...enjoy and I know you will!
My dear sister introduced me to Mary's work several years ago, and I have to agree that it is most delightful! I really like the tray with the snowman on it, and I don't think snowmen are so seasonal! You can use them for several months, depending on what part of the country you are in. Enjoy all of your festive artifacts, and keep sharing them with us! :-)
ME's work is adorable. Love the tray you found. I have a few things she has made and I always enjoy them!
hugs, Linda
So darling, I love her too!
Thanks for your visit too. I left a reply regarding the Nativity. Enjoy your evening.
Mary lives in our town! Her work is so colorful.
Yes, I am familiar with her work. Oddly enough, though, I seem to be lacking a Christmas tray.:)
xo Nellie
I've met her in person and she is so sweet. So glad you found something of hers to enjoy in your kitchen.
