Birthday cake stand!

My sister had asked my mom many years ago if she could have an old

purple glass cake stand that we'd grown up with, and my mom had decided

not to pass it on until she'd passed on herself.

 

I sent my sister another one I'd found (yay, eBay) for her birthday

maybe ten years ago... it wasn't the one she'd seen her own birthday

cakes on as a kid, but I hoped it would be a good stand-in until she

could have the real one.

 

Well, now it's a year after my mom's passing, and when Amanda was in

California packing up some other things, she came across the fondly

remembered item. Trouble is, she already had one, and honestly, how many

purple glass pedestal cake stands does one really need? So she very

carefully packaged it and sent it to me. I offered to swap with hers,

and she said she now liked the new one (along with its story) and wanted

to keep it. I love it! Thanks so much, Amanda!
