Holiday Giveaway #17 — Cake Stand & Minis from Nora Fleming
What? It's Friday already? The final day of this crazy-fun Giveaway Week? Time certainly does fly. Let's start today off with a Giveaway that I am certain will get a great reception. Something that will help you throw a great reception. Enter your comment now to win a gorgeous pedestal cake stand and 6 minis from Nora Fleming!
The concept of Nora Fleming is simple: Own less. Store less. Keep one serving piece that works for every season, every occasion — because it comes with interchangeable minis. Umm. Minis?
Yes. Minis. The extra-special thing about Nora Fleming serving ware is that is comes with "minis" — small, colorful ceramic pieces that turn your unadorned cake platter into a birthday/holiday/picnic/springtime/special day platter.
This is how it goes down. 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 occasion. And more choices every year. Along with the cake platter, today's winner will receive six, yes six, minis of their own.
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. Here's to Nora — for being in the right place at the right time with ceramics and a drill.
Thank you Nora Fleming!

This is such a super gift idea. I do believe Nora is one very talented woman to have dreamt such a thing. The pedestal cake stand is gorgeous and my favorite mini (although I love them all), is the rubber duckie! How sweet!!
