I have accomplished so much during my blogging sabbatical. I have quite a few projects in the works which I will be sharing with you in the upcoming weeks. Recently, I found some sweet vintage treasures at the thrift shop that I repurposed. Friday Freebie Cupcake Pedestals.
Here are just some of the vintage plates and cake servers that are now for sale in my Etsy shop. Through the next week, I will donate 10% of all of my Etsy sales to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief Fund.
Now onto Friday Freebie. Please visit my Etsy shop and come back and leave a comment if anything captured your fancy. The Random Number Generator will select a winner next Friday.
UPDATE: The Random Number Generator has selected Margaret of The French Bear. Margaret will get her hearts desire for a hand painted fruit plate with a sterling silver knife.
Blissfully blessed,
Laura
Everything is just beautiful but my fav is the hand painted fruit plate.
Adorable idea!
Those hand painted plates are so lovely!
I'm happy to hear that you've been accomplishing much! At least one of us is! 🙂
My fancy was tickled by the silver cake server.
Those are gorgeous! I love the cupcake stand – it's my favorite!
I love the cupcake pedestal! What a divine way to serve cupcakes!
Love the cake server, Laura! Let me know how you are liking Picassa. I believe I have that on my laptop, along with Photoshop, but I just use Photoshop.
Good Morning Laura, I enjoyed watching the video and seeing all the lovely creations for cupcakes. Did you ever make a cupcake pedestal with the 1950 hand painted milk glass plate and vase that belonged to my mom? I have also seen little miniature Bundt cake molds that would be cute on the small pedestals. I like your addition of the silver.
Hi, sorry I have not been around much. Hope you are well. I like the cupcake plate with the sweet little unique spoon that can have the vintage party tage with it. reminds me of the perfect little adornment to a little girl's tea party. Need to have one of those with my daughter one of these days. 🙂 Thinking of you…
Well, I had to buy the two things that captured my heart!
What fun creations. I love this idea and they are all so pretty. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Marty
Hello Laura, I just loved your sweet video and all the ideas you came up with. I also in the past have married the saucers with candleholders for such a beautiful pedestal. Maybe a great idea for a bloggers get together would to be to go to flea markets or second hand shops. I loved all that you did here, thanks so much and now I am off to your etsy shop, Char
They are all gorgeous! I really like the cake servers! Your video is great too!!! I would be stumbling all over my words if I did one!
I love the hand painted plate, everything is lovely, I enjoy your things. Thank you for sharing.
I LOVE the cupcake pedestal!!!! The hand painted plates are gorgeous, though! Those would make fantastic cupcake pedestals!!!
So glad you are back! And you've returned with quite a bang. Great video. Clever ideas.
Thank you, Laura.

Another great video and another fantastic idea. Thanks!
Everything is gorgeous, but I love the hand painted plate with the fruit.

YAY!! and I hope U see this along with my ETSY order from U… I forgot to indicate that I would like the “vintage party” tag…sorry I forgot to mention that in my transaction…)…. these are just gorgeous! :):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):)
So pretty!!
I love the cake server! I said to my husband yesterday “We need a cake server.” He said “No, we don't. We do not need any encouragement in our consumption of cake.” LOL
Love the cake server..you have such great ideas for the “lost' saucers..
My favorite is the sweet cupcake pedestal. It's darling! I just bought a few teacups from the thrift store to repurpose. Now I just need the perfect plates to glue to them. 🙂
Have a great weekend!

Hi Laura,
Love the vintage cake server on your ETSY. Thanks for visiting the giveaway for my pincushion. And your sweet comments about the baby shoe. Hope to see you visit again.
Blessings….Sherry
I love the cake servers!
Laura,
I was so happy to log on today and see you had returned. You were missed. All of your items are beautiful but I am partial to the beautiful cupcake pedestal dish you created. How clever!
I enjoy your videos. You really are a natural in front of the camera.

Laura..
I adore the cheeseplate with the Marie tag and small knife!! ONLY 10 dollars? WOW, nice price and cute hostess gift!
I'm soo glad you took the time to 'catch' up and splurge on your creative side this past week. You look soo refreshed.. almost glowing. Ok, so where did you 'actually' go? heehee..
Missed you, but I'm glad you're back.
with love,
Olivia
Laura! Welcome to the “Be Mine” Valentine Swap! You and I partners!! Send me an email with your info and I'll do the same!!
Woo-hoo!!
Julie
Very sweet way to serve a cupcake! Thanks for sharing
Perfect idea and so cute!! Also, the cleaning supplies below are adorable lol. 🙂
Laura,
You are such a sweet, amazing person – the video is darling and informative and I sat here watching, thinking “How do you find time for all of this with everything else you have going on???” :O
Anyway, you are inspiring. All of the items in your Etsy store are adorable, but I'm partial to the silver cake servers, mainly because as much as I love dishes and such, I just don't have the place in our small home to display or store. Hey, if you're ever looking for a blog subject idea – I'd love to see some suggestions on how to display various plates, platters, etc. I have only our dining room table and a small buffet. No hutch, no shelving, etc.
Hope you have a blessed week,
Linda 🙂
Beautiful stuff. I think my favorite though is the Vintage Valentine Corsage in your sold section!
love the Cute Cupcake Pedestal
forgot to mention

We are having a just because giveaway

Hello,
I want to say your videos are great. I am a very visual learner and these videos help like you dont believe.
Your cupcake servers are just soo darling.
Hi there! Enjoyed the video with all your great ideas – thanks for sharing all of those. Enjoyed your Etsy shop also. My favorite is the plate with the burgundy tulle, butter knife and Marie tag. Very nice.

Your Etsy shop is lovely, Laura. Beautiful presentation for each of your items. I love the plates and that cupcake pedistal is fabulous!
I love the cup cake plate. Perfect for a tea party. I bought the cake server. At our very first party in our new home, afterwards mine went missing. Maybe thrown out with the trash? I felt so bad, I had found it at a garage sale and bought it for one dollar. I was happy to find one to replace it. Thanks.
Laura-Doesn't it feel good to mark things off the “to do” list?!! It's a hard choice, but I am a cupcake maker, so I would choose the cupcake pedestal! Thank you for the opportunity and your gracious gift to the Red Cross!
Laura, of course everything is fabulous! I do love the first hand painted plate with the lovely silver knife, ho wonderful!!!
Hugs,
Margaret B
I love everything but if you're going to make me choose, then I'll pick the cupcake pedestal!
You are a very talented lady :), of course we knew that. Those plates are just gorgeous and I really like that cake server.
Thanks for sharing your creativity and inspiration.
Laura, I was searching for your craft room makeover and became caught up in current posts! What an excellent idea, the cupcake pedestal plate! So, my fave would be the hand painted one.
Love the seam binding and rick rack, too. Just what I need to tidy up. Off to check out the one I was looking for.
