All together, though, they can be arranged in an arc, line, or as a collage to make a collective decoration. Something different and 3D...a change from the classic picture on the wall.

Hi, Michelle, I...Another e-mail comment I received:<br />Hi, Michelle, I love old plates and display them on shelves or on the wall. I have also put these antique round pictures or round mirrors in the <br />center of some of my plates that are just plain in the middle.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05883192683631964901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255464190631863206.post-84429601768121685172010-10-21T22:45:31.817-05:002010-10-21T22:45:31.817-05:00I had an old scale that I lost in my divorce.

I just acquired another one and will use it as a scale. I would clean up the one you have and just use it as a neat decoration. I know, no smashing or anything.<br /><br />Just as boring is my suggestion with the plates. I have mismatched plates that I use on a daily basis. I guess I don't have a need for matchy matchy. If you like something, just as it is, why do you have to change it?suzieQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04883115039145453043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255464190631863206.post-67762421790142022352010-10-21T12:50:21.785-05:002010-10-21T12:50:21.785-05:00Submitted via e-mail:

I am keeping my eyes open for a nice over-the-door-hanging rack. :)<br /><br />An idea for the mismatched plates - perhaps create a tiered cookie plate from them? It would be completely unique! <br /><br />I just noticed on my sister-in-law's wall that she placed mismatched plates into a plate rack and hung them on her kitchen wall. They looked really nice and added to the overall decor of her home.Iron Girl!!https://www.blogger.com/profile/18290069923554586758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3255464190631863206.post-44415431370669877102010-10-20T17:40:37.784-05:002010-10-20T17:40:37.784-05:00Cool question Michelle~!

If I had multiples and really liked the patterns I would keep them and use them daily. Or you could use then in a cabin or cottage during the off season. If they were random pieces that I liked but wouldn't necessarily use, I would create a mosaic on a cast off or mirror frame or donate the pieces to an artist who could use them, or just donate them period!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12431126111383952372noreply@blogger.com
