Don't hide your lovely cake stands away when you are not
using them for cakes - use them for lots of things. I usually have little soaps arranged on this
one - you know the kind that actually look like cakes. So, for the festive season, I've added a bit
of colour and sparkle!
I got the most amazing gift through the post last week. The lovely Bombay Jules in India sent me this
lovely fabric bag - and inside -
wonderful squares of cotton in the most amazing colours and
patterns. They are from the Anokhi
Museum of Hand Printing and you can read Julia's very interesting post about it
here.
Love the paisley prints and look at these elephants!
Looks like I've a new year project lined up - think they
will look lovely as a throw or perhaps some bags.
Thank you so much, Julia!
Love, Liz

These fabrics are just gorgeous Liz! Thanks for sharing, must go and check out that post.
Great idea with the cake stand - I have a cream wire tiered cupcake stand empty at the moment - now I know what I could do with it thanks to your idea Liz!

So pretty, and those fabrics are gorgeous!! xo Heather
What a lovely present! I made a few tiered cake stands for friends last year and one friend uses hers in her daughters bedroom to store pretty beads and hair slides etc, it looks beautiful. Love the festive version x
Lovely fabrics, what a nice gift. And I have baubles everywhere!
Love the new use of the cake plate and enjoy that fabric, beautiful.
Great idea, and oh so lovely fabric squares.

Dear Liz,
What a pretty decoration.
I'm THRILLED with the tea cosy and will do a fuller blog post on it very soon.
Something tiny heading your direction.
I loved everything in my parcel --the little tray cloth brought back memories of making ones like that in y childhood
Thank you Thank you!
ps
I shudder at the thought of a knitted wedding dress --much as I love knit things!
That's a lovely festive idea for using a cake stand! You are so lucky to receive such a fabulous parcel from India - hope you enjoy using the lovely fabrics :)

Hello Liz! Sorry, only just caught up with your post about the fabric....you know what I never undid the bundle so I had no idea just how beautiful those fabrics were - they look gorgeous! Now no pressure to get on with a bit of patchwork quilting haha....Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Thank you for sending so many new readers over my way. What a lovely bunch they are!
