100 Day Challenge - Declutter - DAY 11- 4 Vintage 1950's Dinner Plates Franco Fiorgi by Quadrifoglio Made in Italy

Item:           4 Vintage 1950's Dinner Plates Franco Fiorgi by Quadrifoglio Made in Italy 

Owed for:    10+ Year (picked up at an estate sale)

Why I kept it:    

• I like how they look and think any food looks great on them
• .Big, thick and sturdy

Why letting go:   

• Big, thick and take about half of the dish rack I have in a cabinet
• Too rare and nice for everyday use
• Don't have the full set; just four plates.

Destination:    Giving to my ex to use for small get-togethers as he doesn't have any matching plates.  

                       One plastic plate he had I am certain was stained from oil-laden car or motorcycle parts left on it 

                       for a  long period of time.by either he or my son, but once it went through the dishwasher it was 

                       put back into dinner plate circulation.

                      

Old Muffin Tin Recycled into Christmas Decoration

If you have an old muffin tin that you are thinking of tossing and replacing here is an idea for up-cycling it into a low from things you get at the dollar or craft store (to no-cost Christmas decoration depending on what you have on hand).

The links on the original source Createandshow are dead, but below is a link to the The Graphics Fairy for 100 Free Printable Christmas Images

The horned deer looks similar to what was used in the original project.

I also think these Vintage Christmas Bunnies would be cute

You could use any festive scrapbook or even wrapping paper in the tins instead, glue them in, then and a bow and a spring of Holly or Mistletoe for a quick and easy decoration.

If you make this I would love to see it or if you have any easy up-cycled crafts to share would love to check them out - feel free to post a link in the comments section.
