Personalized plates and more

I found this adorable shop on etsy today while browsing their "pounce" feature. You can see items that just sold and pounce on the store that sold them to see what else they have to offer. I saw an adorable hand painted cross that sold so I clicked to see what else was to be found. I immediately ordered the custom ceramic personalized necklace for my niece's final bday present (I've been sending her gifts for the past few weeks to spread out the joy!)

What really impressed me were the custom plates and serving dishes. I love the platters for families that can be personalized (wonderful gift) and think these children's plates are just fun! And at $18.95 I think you'll find they're the best price around (others sell for $40 and up!) Got to http://www.cutiepatooties1.etsy.com/ to see everything!

This 3 section political baby plate is a great way to carry on the family's political tradition. Featuring red, white and blue colors, your child's name and a handpainted elephant, this 'republican' or 'democrat' plate is a sure conversation starter. It will bring many smiles and lots to talk about over the dinner table for years to come.
