It's a piece of cake...part 1

I've been looking for a milk glass cake plate forever - but I have yet to find one within my price range. After months and months of searching I finally gave up and made one.

I found this hobnail candle holder for 99 cents:

    Oooh, Steph, I love it! I haven't seen a milkglass plate yet either while thrifting, but yours looks just superb even if you had to make it :)

    I keep an eye out for milkglass too, and recently found this little compote that I made into a nest for my other thrifty bird find. Check it out if you want:
