Colorful Decor Flair With Nora Fleming Minis

By Jody Leach


A company was started in 2003 with the idea of bringing simplicity to the art of entertaining and decorating. Most people have numerous different platters for various occasions taking up space in their kitchen cupboards. The idea was born of interchangeable decor objects to use on platters. Each of the Nora Fleming Minis are used interchangeably on platters to suit a particular event, holiday or season.

These miniature ceramic items are hand painted with great attention to detail. Each platter features a hole into which these items are inserted. It is simply a matter of taking one out and exchanging it for another. A keepsake box large enough to contain nine toppers is available for purchase. This helps to keep the toppers organized. They can simply be taken out for use, washed and returned to the box.

These items offer simplicity and creative opportunities when it comes to entertaining. Simply pop one on to suit any theme or event. A romantic evening, like an anniversary, is the perfect occasion for using a red heart or a delightful champagne bottle with the option of personalizing the label. Choose a sombrero or a cactus for a Mexican theme, a set of cards for a card evening or three little books in a pile for a book club gathering.

Christmas is a family occasion and a Christmas tree, some berries and holly leaves, a reindeer or a pine cone tipped in snow add to the Christmas spirit. A Santa boot is another item that adds flair to a platter, especially when used to hold decorative toothpicks. Easter is an occasion for celebrating new life and this is symbolized by adding a yellow chick or a polka dot egg. A bunny and three eggs in a nest are other cute toppers bringing spring feeling to an occasion.

Halloween is another holiday where toppers like a witch hat, witch legs, a spider and a creepy eyeball can help to create the atmosphere. A ghost brings back memories of Casper, the friendly ghost. Those with a quirky sense of humor will enjoy one of the newer creations - elf feet with striped stockings. Patriotic toppers like an Uncle Sam hat and a flag are also available and Tiny Tom Turkey dresses up a thanksgiving platter.

A real strawberry on a white platter can accompany a cheesecake. A tiny burger will accent whatever is being grilled on the barbecue. There is even a tiny grill for the platter too. Summer days and pool parties offer many options for decoration from a palm tree, a sailboat, a starfish, a turtle, a beach ball or a relaxing beach chair.

For birthdays, there are presents wrapped with bows in various colors, a cupcake and even a whole stack of presents. Girls will enjoy a butterfly, bird or a ladybug. Boys may prefer something like a fire truck or sports objects like a baseball glove or ball.

The lovely colors and care taken with all the fine details make these toppers colorful, fun additions for all types of occasions. A sombrero or cactus fits in with a Mexican theme, a pile of books adds interest to a platter for a book club evening. Add sass to a platter for a girls night with a high heeled shoe. These items are available from a great variety of outlets, including many online retailers.
