About ten years ago I found a small set of cranberry glasses at an antique flea market. A few years later my mother-in-law gave me some of her mother’s cranberry glass. A few more pieces here and there and apparently I now have a collection of cranberry glass.

ten. Or more.

I love this wood cake stand so much. It was such an easy DIY and I think you might want to make one for sure! A few years I bought a wood cake stand that had beading and was painted white. I bought it at Magnolia in Waco and unfortunately, they don’t sell it anymore….
