Have you looked in Karens albums... she has one with all the stacked plate pictures.... lots of inspiration.

Here is a link that might be useful: stacked plates album

Smick, in our Xmas Misc album is this terra cotta pot idea that might be what you're referring to.

and here's the one with plates and wine glasses

hugs, Karen

Karen, you are the BEST!

Yes Karen those were exactly what I was referring to. Somewhere I saw a page where someone had done several like that and others where they had glued wine glasses and such to the bottoms of plates and made their own...How can I get to the album that you referred to? Thank you all so much for the help. ~Micki~

Just click on the blue link in her post...:)

The only blue link I see on her post is for her page...that doesn't give me the album link....am I missing something?

Smick, the link Bright posted is for the stacked plate album. However if you end up on my main page (my yard stuff), ALL album links are listed on the left side. The Holidays albums are set up just like our Garden Junk ones, with sub albums in the main ones.
Let me know if you have a problem still finding what you want. I think there were 3 or 4 pix of the terra cotta pot ideas, but the one pictured above is the best example for doing a stacked plate arrangement I think.
If you do the terra cotta, be sure and seal them before you spray paint them. I find it works great to use terra cotta sealer, I get mine at Michaels. Tho any sealer would probably work fine.

hugs, Karen

Thank you so much Karen. Those are exactly what I have been looking for. Your albums are so inspirational. I know that I have looked though them before but couldn't remember how to get to them. I hope you don't mind but I saved it to my favorites to make things easier next time. I am pretty new to gardenweb and kind of computer illiterate so sometimes I just get confused :o I just spent an hour checking out all of your holiday albums again and now my head is swarming with new ideas. I am thinking of not only doing some stacked plates for me but also using the idea to make something for my mom. She was upset that she didn't get her Christmas tree up because it was too heavy for her to carry up the stairs. I live pretty far away and didn't get there til after the holiday so I couldn't help her with it. I think I will make her a set of stacked plates that she can use in her bay window and just change out the decor on it for the holidays and seasons. I will start her out with whatever holiday I give it to her for and then show her how to decorate it herself for the rest of the year....then maybe give her new decor from time to time to use on it. I really wish she had internet so that she could check out your albums as well as garden web. I think she would truely enjoy it. Thank you again!

How sweet of you to do that for your mom!!! I am in the same boat I live far away. I used to help her and gram do their decorating. You must post photos of your creations.

What a good idea that is. That way she can just have a little shoe box of items for each holiday so she can switch them out for each one. ;o)

Karen, that is so great that you "remember" the pictures you have put into the albums and can find them quickly when someone asks. You are always so helpful--you really are the BEST like Kathleen said. ;o)

AMEN TO THAT!!!!

Smick, I'm glad you enjoyed the holiday albums and have them saved to browse. Since I knew right away what you were talking about wanting to see, that just goes to show how much time I spend looking at the albums. LOL. Cause my memory really stinks most of the time.
That is a wonderful idea for your Mom to decorate with. I think she will love it. I know, out of all the decorating I've done and have learned on this Forum the last 2 yrs, absolutely nothing beats those Stacked Plates in my book.
In fact, stumbling across them (that our darling Judith was responsible for) is what led me to this Forum. She has hooked a lot of us in here with those in fact. LOL. I never decorated for any holidays really, except Xmas and some Fall stuff. But when I got the plates, suddenly I was buying decos for Valentine, St Paddy's, Easter, July 4th, Halloween. And having a blast with all of them. Heck, I'd probably decorate for Ground Hog Day if I could find something to do it with. LOL.

So have FUN with yours and your Mom's.
