Random Giveaway: Nora Fleming Serving Platter
Today's very generous Giveaway makes me happy. I don't know if you've discovered Nora Fleming yet, but you're about to. Today's Giveaway winner will win A LARGE RECTANGLE PLATTER with SIX POPULAR MINIS.— all created by the ceramic artists at Nora Fleming.
Umm. Minis?
Yes. Minis. The extra-special thing about Nora Fleming serving ware is that is comes with interchangeable "minis" to turn your serving platter into a birthday/holiday/picnic/springtime/special day platter.
This is how it goes down at Nora Fleming. First, you pick one of their good-looking serving pieces. My favorites are the ramekin, the cake platter and the rectangle platter. (I love the dot pattern detailing.) Next, you pick from dozens of minis — all completely interchangeable. Like that sweet little bird in the picture above. And the friendly Mr. Snowman below.
There's a mini for every occaision. And more choices every year. In fact, you can even get a sneak preview of the newest minis, available mid-March. Along with the rectangle platter, today's winner will receive these six minis:
What a smart gift your mom/mother-in-law/sister. You can pick out the perfect serving piece for her, then use any good excuse to give her more minis. Birthday? Mother's Day? Add a mini to her collection. Bad hair day? Nothing that a mini can't fix.
Nora Napientek, the mother of a 2yr old and 4 yr old, is the ceramic artist behind Nora Fleming. She used to own a “paint your own pottery” shop in Naperville, IL. One day it was quiet and she began to drill holes in plates and design little figures to fit in the hole on the rim. A bluebird, a pumpkin, a birthday cake...and so on. The ideas just starting flowing from there — different shape platters, different "minis”. All geared around simplifying the art of entertaining.
Here's to being in the right place at the right time with ceramics and a drill.
Thank you Nora Fleming!

Oh my gosh...I LOVE this!!! I adore dishes, serving pieces...and can never have too many. However, this is a brilliant idea to "customize" one for lots of different occasions to feel like you've gotten many, instead of just one. My husband would love the reduced "stuff" to store!

Love the platter, here's hoping I win--but if not I may have to buy one anyway, that is the cutest!
I found your blog some intricate I-can't-remember way yesterday and love it, I'm putting in my RSS feeds.
Love it! So cute...
#159!
I'm a potter and add little treats to my thrown work for children sometimes. I think the removability is brilliant, because it makes the platter so much easier to store--stackable!
I would have to have a party just to showcase this cute find
