Last weekend, I was invited to a sneak peek event at a new home decor shop that specializes in vintage, collectibles and shabby chic. These types of shops tend to be my favorite because you never know what you’re going to find, and they’re different every time you go back. As some of you already know, I stopped buying anything I don’t have a dedicated purpose for a couple years ago (even if it’s a great deal). It does take a bit of the fun out of vintage decor shopping, but not having to deal with cluttered storage rooms later is worth it (not to mention the money I no longer waste)!
After exercising a lot of restraint, I left the shop at the end of the evening with one antique silver tiered cake stand. At just over $20, I think it was a steal since, from what I can tell, most sell for more than $50 on Etsy.
I’ve always loved the way these tiered plates look, and I’m not worried about what to do with mine because they’re so versatile. Take a look and see what I’m talking about…
Of course, one of the more popular ways to use any tiered cake stand is for cupcakes or treats.

Or a little outside of the box…

Another way I could use my silver tiered stand is to store some of my jewelry. Although I still use my vintage tea cups and saucers to hold most of my earrings, bracelets and necklaces, there are a few chunky pieces I still want to put on display.

Or, perhaps, I’ll use it to hold fragrances or toiletries…

I think what I’m most looking forward to is using my tiered cake stand for seasonal decorating.

Do you have any other ideas for using tiered cake stands, vintage or new?
