That's One Rustic Cake Stand, Missy.

About a week ago, Mum and I spent the morning scavenging local antique shops for a vintage cake stand. We were successful!

Mom found this "primitive three legged stool" in a back corner. It's great for a few reasons-

It's vintage! The real thing.

It's tall, a least a foot. This should make the relatively short cake stand out much better.

It's wood. It will look great paired with Metal pie tins, glass and ceramic plates and dessert trays and these DIY dessert stands that I've posted before:

With some paper flowers and some mason jar lanterns, it should fit in pretty well.

We Have a Ring

Ladies and Gentlemen,

WE HAVE A RING. I received Tay's rosewood ring in the mail today. Its beautiful!

Custom made by Gustav.

"Let the Tree Hug You"

I did a little poking around on the web and found (via the fantastic Offbeat Bride crew) Simple wooden Rings at http://www.simplywoodrings.com/ . Wow. These mama-jammas are little pieces of art. The best part? They are completely ecologically responsible-- no blood diamonds here. We love this wedding set in Mahogany or Rosewood. (Mahogany because it's beautiful, and Rosewood because it is what most stringed instruments...guitars....are made of--symbolism!)

Each ring is lovingly hand crafted from any selection of wood you choose. You can even send in your own. Just imagine wearing that violin you've loved so much on your finger forever. Care is easy, just avoid prolonged water exposure. And for only about $275 we can purchase matching rings. What a deal.
