I guess this is turning into a new collection!
Lately I've been finding these nice mid-century / 70s round platters.
Most are Mikasa and others are marked USA.
All in excellent condition. I love using these… so fun!

DISPLAY IDEA
These old blue glass mason jars have many uses. I have them filled with clothes pins and displayed in my laundry room window. More fun!
A FIND
Can't have enough chairs! And the best ones are found in the garbage of course! I came across 2 of these vintage kitchen chairs. They were pretty beat up so I stripped and painted them. They came out great!
PORTRAITS
I love vintage portraits but also have some that are not vintage. They look great in groupings, unframed! Fun!
PROJECT
Paint something GREEN! Another little table found in the trash!
ARTWORK
A nice thing about being an artist is that most of my friends are artists and I enjoy collecting their artwork. A great way to showcase their work is to make interesting groupings throughout your home!
DISPLAY IDEA
Hang groups of vintage restaurant china. A fun way to showcase your favorite pieces.
WEIRD?
I don't know what got me started collecting these mini chamber pots but as you can see I've got tons of them! They have sayings on them like "Go Way Back and Sit Down", "Morning Exercise", "Evening Exercise", "The Daily Bank", The Family Physician" and more... and some have an eye on the inside bottom and others have a little pig sitting inside with it's head sticking out. They range in size from about 3 inches to about an inch tall. Marked made in Germany or Japan. FUN!

Mix art in with your collections!

This small glass display case is actually from Pottery Barn (circa 1995!) and is a great way to show off these vintage poker chips and games.

Showcase small pieces of colorful pottery on a vintage wire shelf.

Old stained glass windows look great hanging in windows. My favorites are the smallest ones... cottage size windows.
Another cottage size stained glass window which I found at a flea market.
I think more than 3 is a collection....your platters complement each other,
ReplyDeleteThis assortment is just so pretty! Are they actually platters or larger dinner plates? Either way, I'm sure they are put to good use!
