Colorful Decor Flair With Nora Fleming Minis

By Jody Leach


Nora began her company in 2003 and since then she and her team have increased the range to include over 50 items. Nora Fleming minis provide a simple, smart way of changing one platter to suit many different occasions. Each mini is interchangeable and the range includes items suited to all kinds of events, holidays and seasons.

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.

Celebrations like Christmas and Easter provide a variety of choice when it comes to which items to select. Decorate a platter for Easter brunch with a polka dot egg, a bunny or a chick. A Christmas dinner table is made more festive by adding a Santa boot to a platter and it can be used as a container for toothpicks. A reindeer and a Christmas tree are other options.

Halloween is another holiday that offers a variety of choices. The range includes a number of creepy items like a spider, a human eyeball and a witch hat and legs. A mini gourd with a pearly base, orange stripes and a silver stem makes the perfect accent on Thanksgiving as does a little turkey. An Uncle Sam hat, a flag or a bow all offer a patriotic touch.

The summer season with its long, hot days is perfect for events like pool parties. Flip Flops, a beach ball or a beach chair on a platter symbolize the spirit of the season. Grilling outdoors presents the option of using a mini burger or even a tiny grill. A watermelon or bright red strawberry make a cheesecake or some fruit look even more delicious.

Birthdays also offer an opportunity to use these items. A cupcake is an obvious choice as well as a present with a lovely bow in a primary color. A fire truck is the perfect choice for a boy. Girls will love a blue bird, one of the first items in the collection. There are also cute insects to choose from like a ladybug and a beetle.

These ceramic toppers are hand painted in beautiful colors and add fun and flair to any occasion. A cactus or a sombrero fits right in with a Taco evening, a cute pile of three books can be used for a book club gathering or a sassy high heeled shoe for a girls only event. These items are available from many retail stores, most of which have online websites.
