Brown Gingham Vintage Inspired Sandwich Glass

Vintage textiles always lend flair to tabletops and decor accents. When I find a new vintage peice sometimes it just...tells me what it wants to be......I am not crazy..... Haven't you ever heard someone say that a painting 'Speaks to them'... or a sculptor say that a slab of marble told him what was inside? Well, old bits of thread or fabric tell me what they wish they were.  Cake. Alright, alright, stop laughing.

                                This 1940's hand-tatted doily
said it looked like sugar roses and minted sugar leaves.

So, I took a pedestal cakeplate and painted it the palest of green found in the leaves and afixed the doily to it.                                            

I placed a clear glass serving plate on top so it wouldn't get soiled. Here's another view..............................

I love the way it looks like a lattice on top. Now, see, doesn't it look like icing on a cake? I call her,   Rosy

The next doily.........................     

thought it was ribbon candy and  needed to be .....

a cakeplate too. So, I painted a glass pedestal cakeplate a fresh white, afixed the doily, and covered with a clear glass serving plate. This is, Confection.

Now both of these vintage inspired cakestands are available on my website here They are $34.94

My newest serving piece was inspired by a 1940-50 barkcloth curtain panel.........................

I used a flower and geometric patter as an applique, affixed it to the glass plate that was painted a rich chocolate color, and placed a clear glass plate on top...........................

This is the finished platter. I call it Retro Botanical. It is available for $24.95 and you can contact me at......
melody@brownginghamcreations.com if you would like to purchase it.
You may be wondering why I call it Brown Gingham 'Sandwich' Glass.....the textile is sandwiched between the pieces of glass. They are actually two separate glass plates. The clear plate holds your baked goods or hors d'vours and keeps the decorative plate below clean.
