Today I went to the Goodwill here in town, and I love it there! It is so neat and clean! And it smells good! Everything is organized by color:)
But my favorite find today was this.....
it was only $2.00!
When I saw it, I just had this idea, why don't I paint it red! Now I have a red cake plate to match all the other red cake plates in blogland!
I used the red paint that I already had!
I only painted the outside so that I can still use it for food:)
This is a cloche that I got 50% off at Hobby Lobby! I just love that store! And I have a new love for garden cloche's.
Also while I was at the Goodwill, I scored a few really nice men's shirts!
One of which has already ended up into a .......
skirt! for me:)
It's so cute! I can't wait to make more! I wish I had better photos, but I can't take them of myself and Mr F just doesn't get into it!
I'm linking this post to the Weekend Wrap Up Party at Tatertots and Jello!

I love the look of your red cake stand -- I would have never thought of that...it turned out great! And I'm LOVING your new skirt -- way to go!
Oh hello what a fabulous idea!! Painting the underneath so you can still use it for food! You are so smart!! I love this idea. I have two glass plates and one will painted shortly! Thank you for the idea!

Oh, great idea. It's much better red.
Your cake plate looks so pretty and I do love that cloche on top! You're so creative making that cute little skirt from the men's shirt!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
You are so creative!
Now this is a gorgeous cake plate! You are amazingly talented!
Love the idea of just painting the bottom of the plate so you can still serve food on it. Cute and clever!
