Thanks Linda! I was very nervous about making the directions.
Finding the dish was half the fun... we got it at an old antique barn. Been back there three times to find another to no avail.
I just checked out eBay and came up with some neat finds under $10 for mini-cake dishes. The pedestal kind tend to run more than $10. They tend to be listed as glass compote, bon bon, candy or even candle dishes. Saucers tend to cost less and would not tip over easily.
I'll post the links in case any strike someone's fancy. Since the number exceeds the limit for images, i will need to do it in two posts.
Here are the first few:
