Monogram Plate Problem Solved

I'm happy to report that E.A.D. Designs came to the rescue and helped me solve my dilemma about how to do a monogram on three china dinner plates...my grandmother's, mothers, and mine. I was unsure about the vinyl at first, but after talking to lots of folks and seeing what E.A.D. Designs could do, I decided to give it a try. The photos aren't fabulous because of the flash but I think you can get a good idea about how FABULOUS they turned out. I'll get a photo of the three together as soon as I decide how I'm going to hang them.

The first one is mine...second Mother's (so uncharacteristic of her to have chosen a plate with a pink border but I LOVE it), and the third is my grandmother's. I'm very pleased with how they turned out.

    Thank you for the birthday wishes! Just being in my favorite place in the whole world is a gift in itself for me! Especially, since I will be able to do an individual outing with each of the lovely ladies. May be at tea time at Charleston Place twice in one week!

  16. Beautiful plates!!!!!
    The top one is like mine but mine is platinum instead of gold. I would love to do that to a plate to put in my china cabinet. Your mother and grandmothers plates are also so beautiful!

  17. This is a case study in the "persistence pays" school of thought Miss Belle, they are outstanding! Good for you, it is lovely to see them with that unifying feature, and they all look so elegant.

    Nice, nice job on this one!

  18. Fabulous. So is that a vinyl overlay that clings on?

    Those are so special. I love that you had the idea to monogram them in the first place. Wonderful sense of style!
