Repurposing Cake Plate Stand Tier Cake Plate

Hello, and Welcome to Second Time Treasures! Glad to see you here, and that you could stop by. So very sorry I have been MIA (missing in action) everyone! This past month has gotten away from me. We have had contractors in, and out of the house working on a room being converted to a bathroom. But, before doing all of that in full they have been working on the exterior of the house. Siding, insulation, 2 porches, new door, new window trimmings, cutting hole in wall and putting in 2 new windows, and you know.....just things like that. 

Unfortunately, my house has been in a shambles, and not able to do much of anything. My working area is disorganized, wall hangings are on the floors and tables while they are pounding away outside, and things like that. I have been itching to do some gluing, painting, repurposing, and some crafty things. Just kind of hard to do it, and be able to enjoy it with everything happening. 

I did get some more cake plates, and a 2 tier plate made. The 2 tier plate, and the 1 cake plate stand were all made with a matching plate, and glass candle holders. Saturday night I came home with some ribbon I had found to tie a bow around the base of the cake plate. I love the rose colors, and the greens in the bow. Adds to the decor of the green plate with a light brown swirl in it for design. Yes! I will show pictures as soon as I can set my area up to do so. 

Thanks again for visiting with me, and see you again soon. I wish you all well, and a HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON too! Take care everyone.

Before Picture of items used again. Little bit closer view of the items seeing a little more details

Cake Plate Stand 2 Tier Taylor Smith Taylor. This is a completed picture of this cake plate stand I have done. Many possibilities for this piece. Will be listed with my Artfire Store soon. Any questions, please contact me.

Top view of this Cake Plate Stand that is a 2 tier serving stand. The dinner plate has an aqua green color, pink rose in center, and is square like in shape. The salad plate is an aqua green colored plate. The drinking cup is glass with rose decals around it. 2 glass candle holders were used to attach the plates.
Another completed view of this 2 tier stand that was repurposed, and restyled by me. The glass was not attached so it could also be set to the side for another use while serving maybe some fruit, cake, muffins, cookies, organizer for your counter top, add to the decor of your bathroom with rolled cloths, and soaps. 


I truly enjoy making these cake plate stands as there are sooo many possibilities for their use. They are a versatile piece to fit with many rooms in your home. Even if you wanted to change the decor with one room, this could nicely fit into another room as well. This has not been listed for sale yet, but will soon be showing in my Artfire Store. Any questions, you are welcome to contact me. Thanks so much for visiting with me, and wishing all of you a wonderful weekend. Happy Thrifting, Repurposing, Restyling, Creating, Imagining, and all the above. Take care.

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving

Mikasa Cake or Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving


Welcome to LilacsNDreams Second Time Treasures, and glad to have you here!:) Below you will see 3 pictures for another project I have completed, and was finally able to get it pictured too. This is my first 3 tier plate stand I have made. I used a Mikasa Dinner Plate, a Mikasa Saucer, a Yellow Salad Plate, and 2 matching glass candle holders. All of these pieces have been attached with an industrial glue. I was fortunate that all the plates look like new yet. Even though the Mikasa plate are vintage, they still look very new and unused. The 2 glass candle holders are in excellent condition too. With the Mikasa plates I have tried selling them with 3 different market places for an extensive amount of time with no success. I get views for them, but they have never been bought. So, I figured it has been long enough trying this, and decided to repurpose them.

Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving is a picture of the finished, or completed product. This is a side view of this adorable piece that looks like new, and much less in cost than what Mikasa sells their 3 tier plate stands for. 


Mikasa Cake Plate Stand 3 Tier Organizer Serving is a picture of the completed product, and is a slightly top view of the piece. Wonderfully matching colors with all 3 plates. Item will be listed with my Artfire Store soon. Just a prior peek to what I have completed, and what to expect. 

Thanks so much for visiting with Second Time Treasures, and hope you are enjoying your visits. Always welcome to comment, and share with all of us here too. Take care, and have a super week everyone!:)
