Vintage Cake Stands for sale

I have been working on a mural project with my art class. This  involves countless hours spent in one of my favorite places, Salvation Army. While searching for plates in the school colors, I came across some beautiful, vintage plates. So beautiful I couldn't leave them collecting dust on the housewares shelf.  I decided to put them to good use and marry them with all of my random candlesticks. Thus this lovely collection of dessert and cake stands was born.

Here they are...ready to pretty up your next dessert table.
