Yay! It's Friday and that means the end of a long and tiring week for me, and Frugalicious Friday, hosted by Jane of Finding Fabulous.
I almost thought I had nothing to participate with this week, but remembered that I got a pretty good price on a cake stand this past weekend. I had actually been looking for some pieces at the dollar store that I could put together and make my own, but all they had were some Christmas patterned dinner plates. I picked up two and headed to Marshalls thinking I might find something there to use as the base.
After scrutinizing each shelf I found this by accident. A plain white cake stand, which, after consideration, I realized might be a better idea because I can use it all year long for special days.
$5.00 at Marshalls! I thought that was a good price {especially since I was expecting to see $12.99 on the sticker}. Here is the plate I got at the dollar store, too. I realized after I washed everything that I might be able to use both these things together.
Have you seen this picture around blogland? I have and I love it! So simple, yet so pretty. I had also picked up something else at Marshalls . . .
Here's what I did ~ I put the decorative plate on top of the cake plate and that gave me what I wanted for my Christmas Eve table {as I want to lift some foods up and have varying heights on the table}. Then, just for kicks, I put this set of gift boxed chocolates on top. Right away I thought of that picture above!
Well, I thought it made for a nice picture anyway!
I don't know that I'll leave it like this for my buffet, but it does provide some nice decoration in the dining room at the moment.
