Boy, will he be surprised when I do.
While I was at the Salvation Army Thrift Store last weekend, I came upon this set of cake plates for $9.99. Yep. Doesn't this look like a gem that can only be unearthed by the likes of Eddie Ross? Can't you see it on one of his delightful tablescapes? And at this price, I couldn't snatch them up quickly enough.
- Keep things simple.
- Know the measurements of your home and carry swatches when you are trying to match up items for it.
- Preparation is key. (MY FAVE!)
- Go to Bergdorf's to educate yourself on stylish pieces then high-tail it to flea markets and thrift stores to replicate the more expensive looks. (NO, this is MY FAVE)
- To achieve a WOW! factor, set the table just before guests arrive.
Have you a signature serving piece? What is it?
Oh that was a steal. These cake plates are lovely. My signature are these slim crisp white plates. I can present anything from cookies to cheese and fruit.
ReplyDeleteLet me start by saying I adore your blog!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great deal. I actually have two serving dishes: one is a cupcake stand I purchased from a local thrift store for only $1.99. I use it at almost every function. I can decorate it for baby showers, bridal showers, holidays, etc. These stands usually run for approx. $20-30 at most cake stores. I also purchased a cake stand on sale from Macy's for 15 bucks. I can put a nicely decorated cake with fresh strawberries or some tasty cookies!!
Yes. It's old and I rarely use it because I'm afraid of breaking it because then someone would have to die.
