A Lovely Tier and A Lovely Site

I found this lovely idea

 

DIY Easy Pedestal Stand

 

 

 

 

and it led me to a new site that is different than many others I've seen. The Graphics Fairy has some wonderful ideas and some clip art and prints that can be freely used.

 

Like this Botanical Almond Flower Print

 

 

..

 

and this Free Antique Clip Art – Pink Map of France

and this Antique Sheet Music – Thanksgiving

She also has some great DIY Tutorials

 

like how to Make Painted Doily Plates

 

 

 

I can't show everything she has, so go ahead and check it out! 

You just might get smitten!

It's definitely a place I'd like to remember when I'm in a creating mood and have some creating time.

 

 

Oh the things people Think ..., and Do ..., and Create ...

I'll never look at a rug the same way again -
Striped Rug Pillows from Martha Stewart
I think they look great on the patio furniture or on the lawn for a picnic! How about on a bale of hay or straw?

Here is a great outdoor bench from BHG to put them on.

Beads are not just for stringing - didn't know that until now!
This comes from The Artful Parent



They are for melting too!

Pretty Stuff

This pretty display is from Avant Couture Events Wedding Blog

Great pinterest boards too!  Check them out here.

Each board focuses on a color or a theme - lovely.

I have not yet clicked into any of the boards there because I know it will take a while to get thru them, but just looking at her page of boards is inspiring.

Not all of her boards are about weddings, but the majority are.  Take a look when you get a chance ..., I'm going to ..., more than once I'm sure!

Jeweled Cake Stands

This post got started because I saw these crystal / jeweled tiers or dessert stands / pedestals from Cocoa & Fig

Aren't they lovely? I know nothing about them, and can't seem to find them anywhere else.   I wondered if they were candle holders but I can't find them that way either. Oh Bother!

Here are some other things I did find :

Martha Stewart can teach us how to make a jeweled cake tier

-----

As can Crafty Chic Creations

-----

This cute cake stand and cover is from Cherished Vintage - also homemade.

-----

Don't wanna make one -   HERE is a great look.

They have it in black too.

For A Rustic Look

Scrap wood pieces made usable - Kind of intriguing to me. They'd be great for some rustic occasion.
DIY at Design Sponge

Keeping with the wood theme, check out the rustic table numbers at The Country Chic Cottage 

Wood pieces could be used for signs of all sorts.

And here is a great look - blues and browns ...  wood ... pies ... garland ... etc.  -  From Bubble and Sweet    (Click on the link for more photos, including a great ribbon garland hanging on the table.)

We musn't forget these stump cake tiers from Blue Velvet Chair 

More stumps decor from Wedding Bee

And I really like the white stump look ... used for vases.  Found at Something Green

I think I like Something Green.  Here are a few more photos from there:

Bale seating is always eye catching to me.

Wrapping up a napkin like this is a great look.

Vintage fabric scraps for garland and decor.

Great Tiny bottle tags.

Paper placemats ... and other pretty decor.

Concrete vases.

Terrific Tiers

I have wanted to do this ever since I saw it done in a picture from a magazine several years ago. Each table has it's own tier full of desserts. No one has to get up and go anywhere for their food. Love the idea, but never thought I'd have enough tiers to do it. There are so many DIY's here that it just might be possible someday.
I can't seem to find the source for this photo. This post is full of that. I am so sorry! I'm learning!


I'm learning great things...this is one of them.
