This is such a great idea. I went to World Market and it looks like they are sold out of these. Is there any other place that sells similar trays??

I love that this one has a spot for guest’s keys. What a great idea! I’ll be linking to this post. And keeping an eye out for my own trays this weekend. Thanks so much for posting this!

Hi Lisa – I see it is out of stock. :( Maybe try googling three-way divided snack tray. I think Target has one (without the bottom wooden tray) and I believe I might have seen something similar at TJ Maxx.

The letters are vinyl stickers that I picked up at Michael’s. I did apply them directly to the ceramic dishes. I used the Modge Podge to help protect the stickers from peeling up in the future. Also spraying with a clear lacquer/shellac will help protect when washing (by hand). Good luck!

I love this idea but unfortunately it looks like the tray is out of stock on the Cost Plus Web site, and there are no Cost Plus stores in Manhattan or Brooklyn. Also, dumb question from an urban apartment-dweller… where are the letters from? And how do you apply them to what I assume are ceramic dishes? Do you peel them off the backing and then shellac them on with the Mod Podge? Or use a pencil or heavy flat item to rub them onto the dishes like you would an iron-on or pressure-sensitive transfer? We are getting a Michaels about 10 blocks from where I live in a week or so (oh happy day!) so maybe I’ll be able to pick up something similar there… Thanks for any help you can offer!
