Thrifty Finds to Fruit Tiered Stand

Last month I found these really great plates and chargers at Goodwill and it was hard not to buy the set! So I bought one of each...and of course some candlesticks to make a another goodwill tiered stand! With the help of some E6000 I love how it turned out!! I also spray painted the first and second brass candlestick with Rust-oleum Oregano.

Here it is today along with some fresh tulips I just received from my sweet hubby for Mother's Day! What a great guy! :)

I also made another pedestal cloche in the same Oregano color because I love it!

The white pedestal cloche is now in the entry way. I guess I really like lemons right now :) I found two huge bags of them for $5,99 each at Ross. Great score, because they are pricey at Michael's and Hobby Lobby!

I hope everyone has a fantastic Mother's Day including my mom! (She reads my all my posts and is my biggest fan!) And reads your sweet comments and discusses with me! Ha :)

I would have never thought to group them togeather, but the result speaks for itself! You definately have a top notch one of a kind there! I'm soooo jealous...

My question is, where do you store all your stands. That is the only thing holding me back from making these. I don't have any place to store them, :(

I'd love if you linked this up. Stop by anytime to say hello!!!

Have a wonderful day girl!!
Also if you get a chance, hope you can come over to see how I make the EASIEST chicken curry ever, using rotisserie chicken, and enter to win your own MAGIC Chicken Curry Mix.

Hugs, Bella :)
