2009_03_10-Plate01.jpgGiven our focus on beef this week (and my personal thing for cake plates) I couldn't help but show you this cake stand from Style Garden.

2009_03_10-Plate02.jpgStyle Garden makes cake stands out of repurposed and vintage pieces, like this great centennial plate. It just seemed too perfect to pass up, so I snagged it, but there are plenty of other unique pieces in her Etsy shop.

I like the idea, too, of repurposing vintage and thrift store finds into beautiful, unusual little pieces for the kitchen and the home. Beauty in the found object...
