I have been wanting a small cake stand to serve cookies and petit fours to my guests when they come to tea. I looked everywhere but never saw anything near to what I wanted.
I was about to give up searching when, a few days ago, I was reading one of my favorite blogs (Bee in My Bonnet http://beeinmybonnetco.blogspot.com) and there was my mini cake stand! Lori had purchased a beautiful dish and a candle stick holder at a thrift store. After viewing cake stand, I just had to run right out to my local thrift store to see what I could find.
Here are my beautiful pieces. The dish was on half-price sale so I got it for 32 cents and the candle stick holder was 60 cents. So for a total of 95 cents, including tax, I finally got my mini cake stand. I'm putting it together with a glue named named E-6000. It's supposed to be very strong.

Elizabeth in my eyes you are a star because I have noticed that you have been leaving comments on lots of blogs during shimelle’s class. Go over to my blog to grab a copy of the award picture http://helenascreativemaven.blogspot.com/. I hope that over the coming months you will pass on the award to others who are stars in your eyes – for whatever reason.
