A Cup-cake Stand give-a-way!

It's about time for another give-a-way here on my blog, and in honour of wedding season, I thought this cup-cake stand might a good place to start!

This little cup-cake stand was created especially for a photo-shoot for a wedding magazine that will be out on the stands on June 21st.  The concept behind the shoot was soft pinks and creams with romantic and pretty elements! I had a lot of fun thinking about inspiration, but not heaps of time to make the work.  Nevertheless, I created a series of cake plates and cupcake stands inspired by Posie Bouquets and a Folk Art Love Bird design that I silkscreened onto my wheel-thrown form with a ceramic underglaze.  They measure 6" across and 3.5 inches high, with just enough room to put 3 lovely cupcakes on them.  Perfect for an intimate tea party or pull it out as a stand for your brie cheese in the evening, this little cupcake stand is simple and lovely for any table. 

To enter the give-a-way just leave a comment and say 'hello'! I just forgot to mention that I will announce the randomly chosen winner on friday, June 11!

A lovely bunch of Etsy front page features last month made for some busy shipping days!  Here's a few snapshots!  My poppy cake plate is also featured on a Storque article as of monday- all about cheese- lol!  My cake and cup-cake stands do make great crackers and cheese serving platters when they aren't being used for the obvious, so it was nice to have a few more hits on my Etsy shop from that over the past day!
One last linked feature:  A new one for me the Emmaline Bride Blog, featuring Cake and Cup-cake Stands that are handmade or vintage!  You can see one of the cupcake stands that I made for a magazine shoot (coming out at the end of the month- I hear there may be a front-page debut- albeit in the very background of the shot...)!
 I've been thinking that it's time for me to do another give-a-way on my blog again soon before the summer starts!  Any suggestions?  What would you, my dear readers, perhaps like to receive?  A ginko mug?  A new cup-cake stand?  Perhaps a Poppy Bowl?  Please leave a comment, or browse my shop to get a few more ideas! 
I'm off to the studio, have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

A post without pictures...

I'm not sure about you but blogger seems to have a new system for uploading images and mine's not working. Technical assistance, anyone?

A little up-date on the Wedding Magazine shoot and my cake stands... thankfully all went extremely well and the only 'glitch' was that whoever made the cake didn't quite take the theme or colours into consideration! Thankfully they found other ways to use the cake/cupcake stands! I might even get a glimpse later today...

Here's off to a busy Wednesday!  For those of you in Toronto I'm shipping off a pretty large order of new work for the Gardiner Museum Gift Shop today, and for those of you in Vancouver, the Gallery of BC Ceramics will finally get some work! And my online shops are looking a little bare again- I'll hopefully get to uploading what's left tomorrow!  Thanks for hanging in with me while I sort out the photo up-load issues and have a great day!
