Tree Pedestal Cake Stand
Once Wed has a DIY project by Laurie on how to make a tree pedestal cake stand. I love the look and I think it would be lovely decor in the home year round, not just at parties and weddings.

Doha Chebib’s Log Bowls
Calgary-based Doha Chebib’s Log Bowls combine nature’s rough surfaces with smooth, glossy depressions, lending them an almost storybook quality.
