Monogrammed Dish

One of the cute things I found at John Derian's shop

are these initial plates:

They're made of glass.

The plates are also available in symbols

like the ampersand, exclamation point

and question mark.

I'm using this as a peg to turn this blah

into a TADA!:

A dessert plate I purchased at a thrift shop.

Punch a few letters from a magazine.

Attach the letter on the underside of the plate

with white glue and TADA!, a cheap and cheerful

version of the John Derian initial plate!

Add any letter you want and keep it for yourself

or turn it into a hostess present:

Just throw in a few bars of hand-milled soaps or

a chunky candle.

TADA!
