Well my friends, we are back in my french country dining room once again! I wanted to show you my newest treasure find...a crystal pedistal cake plate and cover.
*
I placed my newest treasure find on my dining room table to take photos. I thought it looked pretty along with the table centerpiece.
*
A Crystal & Silver Table Centerpiece...
Since I have decided to use a few pieces of my silver on the dining room buffet...I thought it appropriate to carry the silver theme over to my dining room table.
*
A large apothecary beverage jar filled with mercury glass ornaments sits atop an ornate silver tray. I also added my silver coffee pot to the mix and a couple of large mercury glass orbs that I found at Hobby Lobby for half-price ($3 ea.). I am using another one of my new treasure finds...a white and silver table runner. I found this pretty runner at Dillards in their "after Christmas" sale...$12.00. You can get a better look at the table runner in a couple of photos below.

Behind the crystal pedistal cake plate you can see the remnants of a silver & white place setting.

My Newest Treasure Find...A Crystal Pedistal Cake Plate and Dome
*
Ohhh...just look at this crystal beauty!!!
*
This lead crystal pedistal cake plate and cover is Godinger Shannon Crystal made in Poland. I'm telling you...it really makes a grand statement at 18 in. tall and it is soooo heavy!
*
Let me tell you a little story....
*
One night, a week after Christmas, I was unable to sleep...and what do we do when we are unable to sleep in the middle of the night? We shop online, of course!!! Hehe! Anyway, I decided to look at Dillard's online site to see what kind of deals they had going after Christmas and ohhh my goodness...this is what I found! It was originally $139.00...and was now marked down to just $19.00! Yeeehawww...I was doin' the happy dance! I just couldn't believe my good fortune...I had been wanting one for sooo long and had priced many...all to my chagrin! They were always a little "pricey" for my pocketbook! Well...I ordered this little beauty faster than you could say, "crystal pedistal cake plate"! And...there was free shipping! I don't know if I could have afforded the shipping on this beautiful...but heavy...cake plate! I also found the pretty white and silver table runner at the same time. WOW...I made-off BIG TIME!!!
*
Just look at the beautiful details...ohhh, and it really sparkles!!!
*
I love the beautiful cut work on the base...sooo pretty!
*
New White and Silver Table Runner...
*
Just a couple photos of the table runner. I love the pretty silver bead work around the edge of the runner...and the beaded snowflake pattern that can be found on both ends! This pretty table runner was originally marked $69 at Dillards...marked down to just $12.
*
*
*
One last photo...my new crystal pedistal cake plate under a dimly lit chandelier. I love how it looked in the soft light...still sparkling!!! Ahhhh...crystal and silver!!! Sooo very elegant!!!

ReplyDeleteOh Girl,
ReplyDeleteMy mouth is hanging open with amazement! What a great deal on the stunning cake stand and table runner! You did better than good, you did outstanding and the vignette is just stunningly beautiful, really is is gorgeous! If Dillard's was smart, they would run over here and ask to put an ad on your blog! Thanks for the sweet comments Chari, I've had my hutch for about 25 years and the fabric thing was so easy and Marla just used cardboard with 3 different pieces and it turned out great! I used fiberfill for the pillows too, I need to watch my budget right now so if I want something new I will probably have to sew. hehe. Now, I need to go hang the rest of the cute plaques you sent me. Have a great day, Love Ya, Cindy

My friend, that might be one of the prettiest cake plates/domes I have ever seen. That is surely a beautiful find. I love the tall apothecary jar, too. I gotta get me one that size. :) I also cpu;d not help but notice the beautiful fruit print you have hanging in your DR. I am on the lookout for a new piece of art to hang over the fireplace in my formal DR. That is something exactly what I am looking for. I showed DH your pic. Thanks so much for joining in this week's TT. Have a blessed week....Hugs, Barb
