Love our tea stands? Dream of seeing your own plates stack up in a custom cupcake display for a wedding, birthday or Mad Hatter garden party? Vintage china finds new life when you send us your pieces & we turn your new or antique dishes into a 3-tiered stand. By popular request, we now offer this highly personalized service.
*** To be clear.. this listing is NOT for the stands you see pictured (which are examples of our work) but for the service to turn your own dishes that you ship to us into a similar custom stand.
*~* Our stands have been featured on Preston Bailey's Entertaining Blog *~*
You will be thrilled to see your favorite dishes in a way you've never seen them before, piled high with tea treats, sweets, sandwiches, brunch goodies or even in the boudoir for perfumes & potions or as a jewelry stand.
This service listing includes:
* One custom 3-tiered stand of 3 plates, or 2 plates plus a cup & saucer, created out of your own personal dishes that you provide
* Insured shipping of stand back to recipient in USA (please contact us for Canada & other destinations)
* One new gold or silver stand with handle for your newly drilled plates
* Labor, careful return packing, return shipping costs
It does not include:
* The dishes themselves
* Shipping to send your dishes to us
This is a rare chance to get your own patterns and precious pieces into an Alice-in-Wonderland British teatime stand all your own. This service is available on a limited basis & may not always be offered.
So, how does it work?
1) Upon purchase & payment, I will email you the details for sending us your pieces. It's pretty simple! You should pack them carefully in a sturdy box & insure it before sending.
2) We receive your pieces and begin drilling within 5 business days.
3) We carefully pack and return your new stand to you, normally in the box and with the packing materials in which you sent it. We include care & assembly instructions, and you can contact us any time with questions.
* Please note, this tailored service is limited to one stand per person.
We're happy to answer any questions. Gift certificates are available upon request.
