Thrift Store Dishes

I wanted to make a few more cake stands so I decided to check some of my favourite Toronto Thrift shops to see if I could find some real beauties, and I think I did! I love all the delicate pretty details in these plates and dishes and I can't wait to put them together with the bases, stay tuned for the reveals.

Blog Calling Cards

I have been thinking about getting some calling cards for WALLPAPER for a while. I get asked a lot about my home and all of the DIY projects I do and blogging always comes up (naturally) and I always send people here to check out my work...you know, by send I mean scribble the blog address on a napkin, a hand, a ripped piece of paper or a receipt ( crap I needed that one for a return! oh well) because I never had an "official" card. So calling cards were the next obvious step.

I went online and had been searching on Etsy for several hours when I came across pixel impress, her stuff was great but even better she offered chartreuse chevron cards...OMG yay they matched my banner! guess work done! Click click and in no time they were here.

I thought it would only be appropriate to show them off on my new homemade DIY cake stands you can see the original post about them here. They are finally done!

Thrift Store Finds & my 200th post!

First let me just mention that this is my 200th post here on WALLPAPER! Very exciting when I logged in and just noticed that. I hope for another 200 soon...slowly but surely.

I wanted to show everyone my other finds at my neighbourhood Thrift store. I had seen a few bloggers like Holly over at Life in the Fun Lane make their own pedestals and cake stands from candle holders and vintage plates. So while I was browsing the thrift store aisles I saw candle stands and gold rimmed plates and got inspired.

I haven't decided yet if I am going to spray the bases or keep them glass what do you all think SPRAY or STAY?

I will have the reveal soon, so keep checking back.Here are the raw materials for this DIY.
