Saturday is our Holiday Hearts and Homes event at church and I volunteered to decorate one of the tables, as well as do a card workshop. I wasn’t sure what to do for a centerpiece, but then I found this cake stand at BJ’s.
It is bright and cheerful, but what I loved about this cake stand, besides the $9.99 price, was the way it can do double duty as a chip and dip plate. 
I love the polka dots on the flip side and the bowl is nice and deep. This piece also comes in solid white for year round use.
Then I found this wreath to add to the cake plate.
I filled a crystal compote with mints and a pillar candle. Of course I had to unwrap them all and add quite a few more than shown here.
I thought that it looked quite nice and a good size and height for the round table. I’ll post pictures of the finished tablescape, as well as some of the others.
Looks great! I like the server, especially since it can be used both ways!

That cake plate/chip and dip plate is quite a find!
ReplyDeleteI really like the wreath accent you are using. It's so festive! :)
Wow. A bachelor like me could use that cake stand/plate-bowl for a lot of different things in my apartment. I like those kinds of useful and cheerful dishes.
ReplyDeleteHow cheerful! Have fun!

What a great centerpiece! I, too, am a real fan of serving pieces that do "double duty" since those large ones take up so much room! Yours is delightful!
