My take on decorating with plates…

Lately I’ve found so many lovely English ironstone pieces when I’ve been out thrifting, and all of them have been incredibly inexpensive.  YaY!

Recently,  I had a creative idea using some of my thrift store find ironstone saucers.  When these creative ideas randomly come to me  I just have to make. it. happen. right. now. (Anyone else like out there like that?)  Thankfully, I had every thing I needed already…some ironstone saucers, a large empty frame, some burlap, and a glue gun.

I simply removed the picture, mat, and glass from the frame and attached burlap to the cardboard backing using the hot glue gun.  I then decided how I wanted the saucers to be arranged and hot glued them onto the burlap.  It was that easy, but I absolutely love how it turned out.

  3. COMPLETELY nuts about it, and oh how I wish I were like you. I'm the exact opposite in that the idea just sits incomplete in my head until I talk myself out of it.

    I'm sincerely trying to be more like you.

  7. I loved your creativity with the plates. It is a lovely idea. I was left with all of my mother's collections of tea cups and this stimulated some ideas.
