Let them.... I mean ME eat cake! Please!

I told you in my last post that I had been spray painting lots of exciting new things with my exciting colours so here is project number 1.

We recently got our hands on a LOT of old plates, bowls, saucers, cups etc which are just sitting around so my creativity went a little wild and I knew I had to do something with them! Although the colour just isn't that great, kind of a dull grey/mauve so it needed changing asap.
I wanted to use a nice bright summery colour so I chose the daffodil yellow paint for this project and got spraying. Made use of the last few sunny days and indulged in some toxic fumes in the garden!


Sadly in my excitement I didn't take a photo of the in between stage of the sprayed plates to my final creation but you'll get the idea!


And now my lovely sunshiney yellow plates and cup have with the help of some super dooper glue become a cake-stand! Which I love!


Now. This next photo is the cake-stand 'in situ' and I think it may shock and surprise a few of you . . . . . .
I didn't have any chocolate or cake in the house to make it quite believable. It was sunday night. We were having a BBQ, and all that was available was . . . . . . SALAD!
Although I hope that this may inspire some of you for uses and thinking out of the box! Maybe as a jewellery stand, or for crafty bits and bobs or once again for man stuff.

So be prepared for the reveloutionary 'Salad-Stand'!


Crazy I know, because if it were up to me it would be crammed with biscuits, chocolates, cakes . . . . chocolate cake . . . . . and you get the picture.

I hope you like it though! And of course I can make these for anyone who is after their very own salad stand!
Please leave comments as always.


I'm just off to snack on a carrot.
