I love these plates. I mean the plates aren’t anything special on their own.
However I did get a really good deal on them.
I got several different sizes and shapes.
I also got a good deal on a couple of candle holders.
You know where I’m going with this, right?
You know I’m not a good stager. I don’t have scrumptious cupcakes to display.
But I do have a light box to take the pictures!
I love, love, love the way these pieces fit so perfectly together.
It’s like they were separated at birth!
If only I was having a party so that I could use it!
Maybe you have figured me out…maybe you realize that I should be showing you pictures of my completed fireplace…not yet! Monday I will start on the hearth. I worked all weekend cutting and painting the trim. I have to admit when I started this project, I had no idea that it would take this long. I’m plugging along, taking it one day at a time. I do intend on painting the firebox black, and I am boxing in the hearth. I have it all in my head, I hope I can make it happen. 🙂
I hope you had a great weekend!

April 27, 2014 at 10:33 amCan you share what kind of glue you used? I have been toying with a similar idea but not sure what best clear glue to use on glass? Thanks for any information!

April 27, 2014 at 8:32 pmI use clear GE II silicone for windows and doors for all of my glass projects. I find it in the caulk aisle at Home Depot.
I have had a totem outdoors for almost 5 years year round, and it’s holding up so well!
have fun, good luck!
