Cake Plate Stands Creative Do It Yourself

I Thrift, I Junk, I Repurpose, and I love Vintage too! There are so many creative ways for cake plate stands that there is bound to be one that will fit your lifestyle. I enjoy how these cake stands allow you to place more food on your tables, and how it is so visually appealing to everyone too. Another thought is how these pedestal stands are efficient, and they are space savers too. They can be simple, they can be modern, and of course they are functional for whatever your style may be. 

Many uses to consider when you create these pieces too. They make beautiful cake or pastry plate stands, birthday cupcakes, candle holders, jewelry dish, soap dish in the bathroom with maybe some decorative soaps and rolled cloths, napkin holders, wedding decor, center piece, home decor, and many other possibilities too. They can be unique, and a thoughtful gift for special occasions as well. 

Some of these stands get painted. Not to worry as you can then use cupcake liners, doilies, or even scrapbook papers underneath the food. Neat, huh?

Supplies to consider in making these are candle holders, pencil holders, tea cups, coffee cups, vases, small bowls, and it's an endless list. To make the tier stands you can use glues with the candle holders. Or, you could use a drill, saw, some bolts, nuts, threads, and rubber bumpers for the bottoms. 

These are enjoyable to make, and I enjoy offering them with my shops as well at Ecrater, and Etsy. Sometimes I will add a ribbon bow, some lace, pearls, buttons, birds, and other embellishments. Sometimes I just enjoy the decorative plate with the stands that I am selective with too. Depending on the base piece you use these can be flipped over for more uses too. Visit my shops to see pictures with some of the possibilities.

 If you feel you do not have the creative touch to do this, do not have the time, or for whatever reasons make sure to check the internet. Check with many other artisans at Ecrater, and Etsy that also do this. As one customer had commented to me . . . she could probably do this, but she did not really have the patience or the time. So, for her she was comfortable with paying someone to do all of this.

Hope you enjoyed your visit today, and I appreciate you sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl. See you again soon. Happy Thrifting, and Creating!

Thrift Store Yard Sale Finds Repurposed and Upcycled

I love junking, vintage, and repurposing! I love finding things that can be reused with just a little bit of cleaning, and sometimes maybe a little touch up too. I also enjoy creating pieces in a new way to enjoy them with our homes. As you will see above the first picture is from what I shared with you all on Monday, June 10, 2013. I love glassware, and I enjoy things that are wooden too. You know a little bit of glue, a little bit of paint, this goes with that, and you have something new again. 

From what was shared you can see that I used a couple of the pieces to repurpose, or upcycle them. I attached the blue, and white small plates to some gorgeous cobalt blue glass candle holders making these pedestal stands you are viewing. The possibilities for these kind of pieces are endless. Use them as cupcake stands, candle holders, soap dishes in the bathroom, jewelry dishes on your dressers, they are gorgeous with wedding decor, and the possibilities are endless. 

If you would like to see all the pictures, and descriptions for these items visit my shop at Ecrater. Any questions make sure to contact Me as I would be happy to assist you. 

Thanks so much for visiting with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you all back again soon. Take care, and have fun thrifting and junking too!

Thrift Store Yard Sale Finds Over the Weekend

Thrift Store Yard Sale Finds Over Weekend

Above you will see pictures for a small amount of some thrift store, or yard sale finds that I had found over the weekend. Not really a whole lot. It has been raining, and when I was out of town I was seeing quite a few yard sale signs. Yet, with the rainy weather the mood just did not feel right to get out, get wet with the hard rains, and you know what I mean. The rains had lifted briefly for a bit, and I did get out for some small finds you are seeing above. 

The two blue, and white small plates you are seeing have already been upcycled to stands. Oh, yeah, at an antique business that uses barns on their property I found 2 cobalt blue glass candle holders that I used for the stands with them. I will have to dig the pictures up to show you how they turned out. Better yet, if you would like to see them I do have them listed with my LilacsNDreams shop at Ecrater too. Adorable little pieces, and I take satisfaction in the pieces that I find that come together to mate. 

Thanks so much for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl today. Hope the weather has been good for ya'll. Hopefully you were able to get out and about with your thrifting, and junking over the weekend. Happy Thrifting Everyone, and see you all again soon. Toodles!

Thrifty Monday for Thrifts Junk Vintage Repurpose

Thrifty Monday for Thrifts Junk Vintage Repurpose, and a lil bit of this, and a lil bit of that is what makes it fun. 

Hi, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to have you back, and visiting with us. I am a little bit disappointed. By now I thought I was going to be moved to some where warmer, that I can do more thrifting, junking, digging, and treasure hunting too. But...our plans didn't quite work out as we hoped, and so I am still living up North with the cold yet. Working harder to get things in order, better organized, things completed so that we can move down south. Till then I have to do what I can, right?

A while back it was kind of nice out, and I thought what the heck. I have not been to many this year with house remodeling, down sizing things, preparing to move, and etc. So, I did have 1 day where I stopped at a couple of garage sales. Unfortunately, for this small town I live by they never seem to have much at Garage sales that I can get really excited about. Prices are too high because they see it sell on ebay, or something like that so that is where they get their numbers. I cannot find use for some things being offered, many baby items that would not fit into a desirable market for them, and so on. Not trying to be mean, but sometimes I can find better deals with some of the dumpsters, and stores that are out of town than from here too. 

On this one particular day I did stop at a couple of garage sales, and found some small things that I can work with a bit. I enjoy the apothecary jar I found, and all of the pearls that I found and dropped into it as well. So far it is a keeper for me. I got the 2 picture frames with an idea that I have in mind. Not sure if it will be these 2 together, but it is a start anyway. 

I enjoy working with cloche glass dome cheeseboards too. I clean the glass up well, and then will paint the wood base whatever color I choose at the time. Now, once it is painted I might lay a doilie on it, get out the mod podge to add some paper or material, add some figurines or accessories to the inside of it, add some sort of decal to the glass dome, and things like that. The 2 plates you see will have something done to them soon if I can ever find some glassware, or pieces that can fit to their size, and of course have the right colors to accent everything too. But, they do look like new too.  I had gotten excited because I found some great amber glass that would be perfect with the 2 plates, colors were good, like new condition, and.....they were too big. How disappointed I was too.

In the back you see the pretty pillar candle holder with a minimal floral design on it. It has a pink glass base that is nice, and sturdy too. Simple candle holder that is adorable with the candle in it, or without it too. I also got a glass candle holder that will make a cute pedestal stand to something, a sweet tea cup, and some blue napkin rings/holders that I can work with too. 

Sometimes you might not come home with much after thrifting, or garage saling, but there are still possibilities for everything to be used in some way or other too. 

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend, enjoyed the football games, and got all done that you wanted to do. Thanks for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you again soon. Take care till the next time everyone.....Toodles........

Thrift Store Finds Are Repurposed Upcycled

Thrift Store Finds Are Repurposed Upcycled

Hello everyone, and Welcome to Thrifty Shop Girl! Glad to see you stopping by. I have some pictures to share with you of some thrift store finds that I had found. I think I might save those for another time. Today I thought that maybe I would share with you what I have done with some of those Thrift Store finds I had shared with you. Not all pieces were used to repurpose cuz come on, a girl has to keep some things for herself too, right? Sure we do! Anyway, below you will see a few pictures of completed items that I repurposed upcycled.

A Green Relish Dish Tray Glass Pedestal Stand Vintage Inspired is completed, and listed with my shop at Etsy. I so loved how these 2 beautiful glass pieces came together to create this relish pedestal stand. So much better in person, and the item looks like new too.

A Stoneware Cupcake Plate Amber Glass Pedestal Stand looks great in person! This adorable amber glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was attached to a lonely Mikasa Soup/Salad bowl to make this beautiful piece. This can also be seen with my shop at Etsy too.

Lastly I am showing you this wonderful Green Glass Cupcake Plate Pedestal Stand that was repurposed by Me. I just love this plate that was used with the color, and design work it has too. The green glass candy dish, or dessert bowl was a great match to attach to this plate creating this piece.

I adore, and have fun making these lonely pieces into something useful with so many possibilities for their use too. Some things I make I do keep for our home as well to dress it a little bit here, and there. I have also made some pieces with glass cylinders making candle holders that were given as gifts. So many choices, so many possibilities, and so many ways to share it all too. As mentioned before, it's fun to do too! I like spending the time searching for items, taking my time in what piece will partner with what piece, and all of that. Sometimes I might be to selective, but I do enjoy the outcome of them when they are completed. 

Well, I hope you all enjoyed what was shared with you today. Thanks so much for stopping by, and sharing with Thrifty Shop Girl. I have enjoyed it, and hope you have too. Take care, and see you again soon. Later....
