Burlap + Blue: A Shop Review

Since it's what I do and love, I think it's important to do my best to support other mom-based businesses with a handmade twist.  So when offered the opportunity to review this adorable little etsy shop called Burlap + Blue, I jumped at the chance.

Burlap + Blue specializes in cake stands, dessert pedestals and home decor with a vintage-inspired feel.  And Linda, the shop owner has a great eye for vintage and shabby-chic, as you can see from her blog.  She even has some great DIY tutorials:

This particular black and white damask dessert pedestal in her shop caught my eye right away. 

It's made from combining a gorgeous patterned ceramic plate and a painted metal candlestick.

Together, they create this beautiful, delicate stand that says "I'm special."

I envision it proudly supporting a gorgeously decorated scrumptious cupcake for a special birthday, tiny little cheese cubes at a party buffet, or a perfectly wrapped little present with a pretty bow.  But for today, a few oatmeal cookies will have to do. :)  Don't worry, they're yummy too!

Check out some of the other great hand-crafted products that Linda has in her Burlap + Blue Etsy Shop! 

How cute are those customized coasters? And the clock?  Love it!
