I know I do this a lot, but I have to tell someone other than my husband who just says

"Sell it!"

But today I wandered into an antique shop/used goods shop and found this cake stand. I have been looking for an antique cake stand exactly like this & my photography doesn't really do it justice. My wedding cake was actually even inspired by the look of this style cake stand (sorry, it's a picture of a picture).

I don't have a collection (housewares or anything) like many women do, but I do have a natural affinity for cake stands for some reason.

I paid $8 for it at the shop and knew I was getting a steal. I came home and searched it on ebay and most of these are listed around $60-$90.

I'm thrilled with my find, but my DH thinks my knack for finding cool things like this should mean that I sell them and make a profit.

There is no way I am selling this thing, I have been looking for one exactly like this for years.

I may even have to bake a cake today in celebration.
