One of my favorite pieces in my kitchen is my Nora Fleming platter. For anyone unfamiliar, Nora Fleming is a line of stoneware serving pieces and each one has a tiny hole in it. There are oodles of hand painted “minis” to choose from, ceramic baubles for different holidays and seasons. Each one has a silicone stem on the bottom and when you put a drop of water on it, it slides into the hole. Voila, you have a festive serving piece. I love that one platter is so versatile and there isn’t a need for stacks of various holiday serve wear. They've also recently expanded into Melamine, which is great for summer events outdoors.
When we moved into our condo 2 summers ago I knew I wanted to add some Nora Fleming to our kitchen. I chose the square platter which I love for its contemporary shape. I also bought the keepsake box which is a great way to safely store all my minis, like a giant jewelry box.
Choosing the minis was the toughest part for me because they are all too stinkin’ cute! I tried to pick ones that could be used for multiple occasions, but it’s so hard to pick because they’re each so adorable. I buy mine on Amazon, at Hallmark Stores (great when you can use a coupon or rewards points) and on The Lamp Stand.
Here’s the minis I have:
Champagne bottle-
I thought this would be excellent for New Years as well as birthdays and other celebrations.
Conversation Hearts-
A festive way to serve all my Valentine's treats.
Shamrock-
Perfect for Irish soda bread on St Patrick’s Day.
Eggs in a nest-
I like to use this all spring and for Easter.
Beach Ball-
This one is fun all summer long.
Pumpkins-
I love the gold accents on this and I put it out for Halloween through Thanksgiving.
Snowman-
His chubby belly is the cutest! I like that he’s not necessarily Christmas themed so I can use him all winter.
I think this would be such a great shower or housewarming gift. I love the idea to adding to your collection, one piece at a time. It’s so unique!
Thanks for reading. :)
