I finished this piece yesterday and was pleasedwith how it turned out.
I received my Vintage Charm magazine a few daysago and in it was a tutorial from Gail Schmidt over at
Shabby Cottage Studio to make one of these cuties.
I had always wanted to do something with a cheese tray
and dome because they tend to be found at resale shops
quite often.

Here it was in it's former life...

somehow it just didn't do a thing for me in this state.lol.
But it does now...
Enjoy the day ~

I love the way you did the cheese dish. Just happened across your blog and it is very interesting.

Hi Sandi... it is just beautiful! You come up with the most wonderful creations... now I want to try one! xoxo Julie Marie
Gorgeous! It's not even a close contest. "After" wins!
My fav is the AFTER!! Wonderful result!!!

That's quite a transformation, Sandi! I love what you have done to that, let's say not so very appealing cheese tray. Now it's fabulous and a real eye candy!
xoxo,

How adorable Sandi!!! I am going to have to peek in the shop for a cloche this week! Have a wonderful weekend!
Glad you took care of the dome base, it is wonderful now. I have one of those smaller domes as well with a bird in it also. I like the tie and and saying on that, a nice finishing touch.
Ohhh, Sandi. This turned out absolutely fabulously! I really love the music on the bottom of the plate. I think I am going out to pick up one today that I saw in our local thrift shop (if it is still there). I ordered that magazine, too. I didn't know there would be tutorials in it. Yippee!
