Know someone who loves tea, sweets & vintage china? We do, too! They will be so surprised when we create 1 custom 3-tiered cupcake stand / tea stand just for them. And she gets to help design it! Or, buy this for yourself and be part of the process... I love working with you to create something completely amazing and one of a kind...
You or your gift recipient choose to create either one custom 3-tiered stand with cup & saucer OR one custom 3-tiered stand with 3 plates.
After that, the process becomes even more fun!
1) You or your recipient convos us through etsy to get started & we send all the details...
2) Specifiy 1-3 colors, sending swatches or photos if desired
3) We offer at least 3 to 5 options for approval for each tier of the stand. You or she will see photos of at least 3 bottom plates, 3 middle plates and 3 top plates or cups & saucers from which to choose final selections. (Often we send many more!) The recipient of this stand is part of the full design process of this custom little work of art. Once the pieces are approved, the stand is created! We carefully package it and include care & assembly instructions. As your timeframe allows, we can send more options based on preferences. {We generally use highly collectible vintage European china unless you or she prefers that we also look at pieces from the US, Japan, etc.}
We can usually work within any timeframe, but the longer we have to create this stand, the more possibilities we can explore. We prefer at least 90 days lead time, but can do it in much less time if need be. Please feel free to convo with questions.
Stands you see here are just some examples of what we can do! For more photos, see:

Far from rummage sale cast-offs, the pieces in our stands are individually scouted & selected. Some are gently used vintage pieces; all are immaculately lovely. It takes months to find just the right pieces for 1 stand. We will never duplicate your combination.
~ Quick & easy to disassemble, but too beautiful to do so
~ Stores conveniently away, but so useful you won't need to
We take enormous pride in the quality & beauty of our tea stands & cupcake stands. You will love your new prized possession. An instant heirloom to treasure, use, pass on. Life is delicious, don't you think?
