When I cut the cabinet off the buffet I damaged the top so my plan was to cover it with a piece of wood. Instead I used a piece of card stock, glued it on then painted it to match.
The table runner was made from a piece of white fabric which I pulled the threads to make the edges fringe. After gluing the fabric down the color didn't look so good so I decided to paint it with a coat of watered down white paint to see if that would help.
I think it looks much better!
My food making skills are not that great, but I was determined to make the cake after I took Betsy Niederer's class at a Philly show. She is a good teacher and her class was a lot of fun! The cake however went through many changes as I couldn't get the decorations to come out like I wanted them too. (Think I need more practice)
Ok this is what I finally came up with. I tried to camouflage the mistakes. I made everything from polymer clay except the roses; those I cut off of a polymer clay bouquet.
I purchased the ham, potatoes bread and peas at the Guild show last year. Not sure where I found the salad. The pink candle holders and cake plate I had in my stash. I also made the knobs to match the ones on the china cabinet. Arranging everything on the table was the fun part.
This cute glass pitcher of tea with lemons which I have had for at least 6 years finally was getting a home and I dropped it. :( Needless to say I was so disappointed. I couldn't even find all the pieces to glue it back together. My replacement was a couple bottles of wine.
The buffet table is now complete!
