Monday is Fun Day - Three-Tier Plate Stand

My favorite flea market was open this past weekend.  I get lots of fun things there, like a vintage donkey, tiny ballerinas, unusual scrapbook paper, and a pixie ring.

I was looking for something exactly like this, so I was really happy with my find.  She was using it for display, but it was also for sale.  

She epoxied vintage plates to some interesting "poles".  Not something outside the realm of my capability, but a person doesn't have to make everything, do they?

Here's another reason why it's just as well I didn't try to make this.  It wasn't until I was photographing it, that I realized this top "pole" has a face on it.  I've never seen a bottle or vase (whatever it is) like that, and I like the character it adds.

The bottom "pole" is a beautifully crackled planter.  Again, I've not seen a vintage planter this pretty, and the new planters can be fairly expensive, sometimes more than the price of this entire piece.

The middle plate has handles (another first for me in vintage shopping), which line up with the handles on the planter.

This is going in my sewing room, but I'm not sure what to store on it yet.  At 12" tall and 10" wide at the bottom, there's plenty of options.
