My new cupcake display for a Woven Carmel Apple Pie!

Its great that since everyone loves pie..I can trade for services that I need!  I am very thankful..but...

For the past 3 years, on the morning of the weekends, I enjoy sleeping in.  Until I hear the relentless sound of saws, hammering and a power sander.  It has killed me-time and time again, I storm out of bed, flip my sleep mask off, charge to the windows and wildly close them to cut out the godforsaken sounds coming from a garage across the way.  Two weeks ago in the midst of a good Saturday morning sleep session, I found myself once again, getting up in disgrace...cursing the sounds across the way.  Then I dared to think to myself,"what the heck is this man doing in there!" 
Bob is a kind man that is a retired cabinet maker that now spends his time doing this and that in his garage.  I went over and introduced myself and was impressed by his full -on set up wood shop domain.  He now makes me my displays, and I make him pie, we are friends-and now when I hear his saws in the morning, I don't care.  I should have introduced myself to Bob sooner instead of grunting for 3 years!  So a fist in the air to neighbors helping neighbors!  Loud saws on Saturday mornings and all...

This display is huge and collapses so I can travel with it.  And plain wood so I can decorate it with different fabrics/ribbon for the occasion.
