Cleaning up today, and decided to put my new cupcake stand on the dining room table, with apples and dried roses on it. It looks very pretty!

My daughter gave me a beautiful dozen roses once, and after they started wilting, I just air dried them- they have lasted for months.
Will write about my cupcake love later- happened a few months ago after I found Cheryl's incredibly wonderful cupcake blog. It is well worth a visit.
