You might know that a few weeks ago I found an incredible set of Sheraton dishes that I purchased to sell. But, I just couldn't bear to see them go without having used them at least one time!
So, I planned a tablescape for a beautiful brunch and eyed my Italian, tole charger that was hanging on the wall.
Well, then came this one, major "problemo".....to be able to set a table for four, but, "oh no"
I would need three more!

This was the look that I was dying to achieve.
So, with no time to hunt another one down I'd just have to FAKE them!
So, into my copier my charger then went. Oops, another "problemo".....it was too big for my copy machine. Well, then two copies, on cardstock, just had to be made. I cut each one in 1/2 and then taped them together and VOILA.....I did it.
Not bad for a FAKE!

This is how it looked.
A delicious blend of amethyst, white and gold set the tone for my brunch.
This is how it looked, with the centerpiece, before brunch was served. That post is here.
A few brass touches to compliment the gold.
Including my sweet, wire, brass basket to hold the croissants.
Grapes on my, new Wedgwood plate.
Old Vine is the pattern of my newest desire.
This, sweet little, ironstone tureen holds some home made jam.
With an acorn, hot glued, to accent it's top.
My grandmother's, silver plate, "turned" handled, knife served butter on this ironstone dish.
And sugar and cream in her etched crystal servers.
Ribbons and pearls add glam to the glasses.
Heirloom flatware, in silver plate....
on a napkin with pearls and a fall pick....a sight to behold!
Even last minute details were added to the chairs.
A few views from all sides of the room.
Not a bad kitchen for a rental...we love it!
Now, tell me....did you like my idea for faking a tray?
Did you know that I FAKED it with my brown, transferware dishes once before?
That post with those dishes is here.
And my Sheraton dishes are in this post, too.
