DIY Tiered Tea Stand
Maria Provenzano is getting inspired by Sunday’s all-new episode of Hallmark Channel’s “Good Witch,” by making a tea tiered stand. She says that the china used for this tea stand can be mis-matched and purchased from your local thrift store. Since this is a tiered-style stand, you need three different sizes of tea cup sets. She recommends using a cake stand hardware kit that she found on Amazon, to help assemble.

When done, you will have a beautiful display to hold those sentimental letters you wish to preserve.
Stuffed Peppers
Debbie is in the kitchen making a family-friendly meal of stuffed peppers. Today she is using red and yellow peppers and removes the seeds using a knife and her hands.
