One of my favorite things to search for at flea markets are vintage serving platters.  These always remind me of my great-grandmother.  We have a collection of various sizes and patterns at our house, none of which match.  Most of our flea market platters were under $10 and we use them for everything from holding string cheese in the refrigerator to corralling beads for craft projects .  I love the quirky patterns from the 1930’s and 40’s.  So cheery!  Ebay has some vintage serving platters here and Etsy here.
