I haven't been to Gottschalks in months and months but I went the other day to look for a blanket and found this cute little plate. It was on a sale rack for .94 cents. How could I resist?
Then I found this cottage looking candle holder. Also .94 cents. How could I resist this as well?
I knew it wouldn't be used for a candle but I thought just maybe the cute little plate could sit on it and when we had company I would use it for cookies.
Then I thought of cupcakes.
And what better way to display these adorable crocheted cupcakes from Splendid Designs than on this little stand and plate. How cute is that? A perfect display! Don't you agree?
I thought it was such a clever idea but with fall coming, would want some cupcakes in a fall theme. So I put my order in to Splendid Designs and this is what she came up with:
Aren't they cute? I can hardly wait to get them. They're just too cute for words.
By the way, I returned to Gottschalks yesterday because there was a second candle stand I thought I might as well get if it was still there. Plus more plates! I got three plates and one stand all for $4.03! This is about as good as it gets in Juneau!

Hi Nancy! Thanks for your comment! I am thrilled to find your blog! Love your comments on the bugs! The crab looks amazing! What a great cook you are! I agree about the second time around! I did that too! Come back and visit often and I will certainly add you to my favorites if that is ok? Lisa :)
What kind of store is that? A thrift store? Anyway, you got some really pretty things. I love how you put that plate on the candle holder. That's genius.
