It all started with this package from Sue@JunkMarketStyle.com...
The task? Create a junk-inspired project around these items...
Here are all the 50s-era goodies I could find around the house and garage. I love the Americana colors that emerged as well as the mix of fun materials!
Place larger records underneath your plates to serve as chargers. Simply insert your silverware into the center of a smaller record and you have a great presentation...
Insert a pair of records into a vintage store sign display to present your menu. I simply used white paper cut to size.
Present your hors doeuvres on a vinyl record used as a platter. Top with a cloche. Set upon a vintage wooden stool to be easily in reach from the table.
Just for fun, add vintage items such as this authentic speaker from a drive-in movie theater.
A few bright-colored letters with time-worn patina add to the fun. A yummy table for two!

Whew! What do you do with all those vintage vinyl records? You've seen fabulous ideas from other JunkMarket contributors. Well, when I think of vinyl, I think of Elvis and the 1950s. I gathered up anything I could find that reminded me of that era. Using the table that just received a makeover, I created a table for two using the vinyl records as my inspiration.

What great FUN ideas you have come up with. Your display/presentation looks wonderful. I especially love your ideas of using the records as chargers and the menu idea and the cutlery idea and, well, I guess just absolutely everything!!
