Hey I decided to try my hand at making a cake plate and a pedestaled bowl if you will. I found these items at Garden ridge. The green plate was $2.00 and the little bowl that I used for the base was 1.99! The bright orange wavy edged bowl was $4.99 and the bottom little dish was 1.59! Very cute if I do say so myself. Start looking around to see what all you can “glue” together to create a fun new piece! I used a different adhesive than what sister used. I used loctite household cement (Clear) from the grocery store and it worked perfectly. You should let it dry for a couple of hours or better yet overnight to make sure the bond is really tight.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
Love those ruffled plates, and what a good price too! Wish I could find some like them. Anything on a pedestal plate looks better, don't you think? Kay
Holly, Thank you for the nice compliment. I love how the orange footed bowl turned out. It is my favorite!! Isn't it so fun how you can turn simple things into that "Wow" factor with very little money! Love Love Love it.
