The Popularity Of Nora Fleming Minis

By Jody Leach


People often use a variety of platters for occasions like holidays, special events and seasons and they tend to clutter up kitchen cupboards. Nora Fleming Minis enable simple platters to be changed to suit any occasion by the addition of mini decorative ceramics. These hand painted objects are interchangeable and from the first little blue bird has grown to include over fifty different items.

A mini is easily inserted into a hole on the platter and simple to remove. Each one is hand painted in a lovely color with care taken over the smallest details. A keepsake box is also available for purchase with spaces for arranging nine items. This helps to keep collections organized and a side lid has a clasp for opening and closing.

These items offer simplicity and creative opportunities when it comes to entertaining. Simply pop one on to suit any theme or event. A romantic evening, like an anniversary, is the perfect occasion for using a red heart or a delightful champagne bottle with the option of personalizing the label. Choose a sombrero or a cactus for a Mexican theme, a set of cards for a card evening or three little books in a pile for a book club gathering.

Celebrations like Christmas and Easter provide a variety of choice when it comes to which items to select. Decorate a platter for Easter brunch with a polka dot egg, a bunny or a chick. A Christmas dinner table is made more festive by adding a Santa boot to a platter and it can be used as a container for toothpicks. A reindeer and a Christmas tree are other options.

Halloween is another holiday where toppers like a witch hat, witch legs, a spider and a creepy eyeball can help to create the atmosphere. A ghost brings back memories of Casper, the friendly ghost. Those with a quirky sense of humor will enjoy one of the newer creations - elf feet with striped stockings. Patriotic toppers like an Uncle Sam hat and a flag are also available and Tiny Tom Turkey dresses up a thanksgiving platter.

A real strawberry on a white platter can accompany a cheesecake. A tiny burger will accent whatever is being grilled on the barbecue. There is even a tiny grill for the platter too. Summer days and pool parties offer many options for decoration from a palm tree, a sailboat, a starfish, a turtle, a beach ball or a relaxing beach chair.

For birthdays, there are presents wrapped with bows in various colors, a cupcake and even a whole stack of presents. Girls will enjoy a butterfly, bird or a ladybug. Boys may prefer something like a fire truck or sports objects like a baseball glove or ball.

Making a collection of these items offers so many different options to keep entertaining simple yet creative. They are available from many online retailers and it is even possible to find sales and special discounts when shopping online. Price, service, selection and shipping costs are some of the factors that should be taken into account when choosing a particular retailer.
