When good ideas good bad

Over the years I have been the recipient of some lovely items from blogging friends.  Blogging has changed over the last ELEVEN years, and while I love the new social media platforms, I remember the old days with great fondness.

 

Old friends may remember when I received this wonderful owl made by Laurie of Old School Acres.   I have carefully guarded it over the years after I blogged about it here in 2008, keeping it from harm and by harm I mean DUST.  Because I AM THE WORST.

 

He's still in his pristine condition.  I've looked for good display solutions over the years and today I figured I'd hit on pay dirt with this cute cupcake stand at the Dollar Spot at Target.   It's got scallopy edges, and for those that can resist those cute scallops there's plain ones.  And then also larger cake stands.  Just an FYI.

 

I've been looking for a cute cupcake stand figuring if I could find a nice dome, my owl could stand on it and be safe. 

After months of fruitless searching for domes, enter my bright idea, the wide mouth mason jar.

 

Ooops. Maybe not my best idea.

 

Hope you have  a nice week friends. I appreciate your visits! xo
