Botanic Garden Completely Unique

This is a Botanic Garden from portmerrion collection
very vivid flowers and butterly's decorate this cake stand.
The plates are rather large and the bottom one was quite expensive so this will not be as cheap as the others.

I have the plates to make some biscuit stands with these too, let me know if you are interested.

Fab 5 on friday

I'm thrilled to be included in the fab 5 on friday on etsy ireland's blog

http://etsyireland.blogspot.com/2011/09/fresh-5-on-friday-white-house.html

with exam time looming were getting back to grinds season, I've been rather busy.
However i did take part in scott's craft fair in nenagh. I met thelonelyteacup, a lovely lady making items like mine, Other than meeting some nice traders the day was a disaster

I was in the workshop today and i have put together some small cake stands more suitable to biscuits and buns than afternoon tea. They will be cheap and cheerfull and in plenty of time for christmas presents.

Previews should be up in the next few days.
