Cupcake Risers

I have been asked if I could share where I got the cupcake risers that I am using for my Stablemates.

I am really pleased with how well they work and am happy to share the link.

This is what I ordered. They come in several sizes, with the three tier style (seen in the ad photo) coming in a couple of different widths.

 Unfortunately, they are currently unavailable in the four tier version. But, that happened when I bought mine. I added them to my cart and then got a message that they were unavailable. (Shades of BreyerFest 2020!) I tried again a little while later and was able to snag them.

Here is the link - hopefully the four tier risers will pop up again and those who want them can get them.

Good luck!

Organizing the Minis

My Hagen Renaker minis have been packed away since we move here in 2006. Along with my "original herd" chinas and some other pieces, they have been sitting in boxes in my office closet. I sold the china hutch they were in when we moved and just did not have a place to put them.

I had been toying with getting some new shelves when I saw an eight shelf CD/DVD holder for sale at Walmart and got an idea. The smaller shelves would be perfect for my minis, take less space, and should hold what I had tucked away.

And I was right - except that it took two shelves, not one.

I am about out of wall space in my office, so I had to block the windows a bit. But since these shelves are not even five feet tall, they leave the upper half of the windows clear so light can get in.

Here's how they look next to the shelves that my traditional sized Breyers are kept. I am really happy with how this turned out.
