Affordable And Stylish Nora Fleming Minis

By Mayra Pierce


An ingenious idea gave birth to a company that supplies mini decorative ceramics and the platters they are used to transform. The idea is to be able to use interchangeable ornaments to transform one platter to suit many different occasions. Nora Fleming minis serve this purpose, enabling one to entertain in an affordable way and yet with a great amount of style and flair.

The ceramic platters come in many sizes and shapes with modern, clean designs. This means the attention is focused on the gourmet treats and the decorative mini chosen to accompany them. Well over 50 decorative minis are available, each one hand painted and easily cleaned.

A mini fits snugly into a hole in a platter and is easily inserted and removed. Once it is taken out, it can be washed and stored until needed again. Storage in a special box also available from the company means these objects can be kept organized and protected. The box consists of nine little compartments and a lid which opens from the side for easy access.

For a pool party, celebrate lazy hot summer days by adding a pair of flip flops, a starfish, a beach chair or a beach ball. A platter of snacks for a barbecue can be accompanied by a tiny hamburger, a cute little barbecue grill or a slice of watermelon. Turn a platter decorated with perfect little stack of books mini into a chip and dip for a book club evening by adding a small bowl in the center to hold the dip.

Add a bright red heart, a red and white love and kisses or a tiny champagne bottle to a platter for a romantic celebration like an engagement party or wedding anniversary. Children love these decorative ornaments too. For birthday parties choose from a cupcake, party hat, various presents with bows and trucks for the boys or a flower or butterfly for the girls.

Festive holidays are the perfect occasion for introducing some atmosphere. Celebrate Christmas with a Christmas tree, reindeer, Santa boot or hat. There are many different Easter items to choose from too such as a bunny, a yellow chick and a wavy or polka dot patterned egg. A creepy eyeball and a witch hat are some of the items that can be used for a Halloween platter. Thanksgiving is not forgotten with many patriotic objects as well as a turkey and a pumpkin.

New pieces are being added to the collection all the time. This means one can keep adding to a set over the years. Some of the more recent additions are a tombstone, a horseshoe and a bunch of grapes. One of the newest serving pieces is a cheese board made of maple which fits inside a round serving platter.

When looking for a cost-effective yet eye-catching way to decorate all year round, buying an assortment of these ornaments and platters or bowls is the perfect solution. Whether the occasion is elegant, romantic, or sporty, interchanging these tiny ornaments allows one to create an atmosphere to match. Make entertainment fun and simple with these beautifully created, ceramic items.
