Well, we weren’t really going to eat out of them anyway.
I thought they would look nice hanging in the foyer!
Hubby did a little ‘honey do’ project for me over the weekend.
He hung the ‘fish plates’ that I bought at the thrift store (a few ‘years’ ago) above the front door.
Of course now I think I’ll change things up on this piece of furniture. I think the red candles need moved or grouped together…not sure what!
I’m joining Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday and Brenda at the Cozy Little House for Tweak it Tuesday.
One thing leads to another…doesn’t it?
Updated to add…
Here’s how they are attached on the back.
He used a little wire wrap, tie thingy on the plate and a regular picture frame hook in the wall.
My hubby has all kinds of wraps and wire ties, hooks and do dads in the garage!
Lucky me!
If you can guess what that blue book is, I’ll give you a Yankee dime! heehee!!!

very nice display
I love the plates! They look great on the wall! :)
What kind of hooks did you use? No pun intended... Yes, one thing certainly does lead to another and on and on it goes.
Lovely plates, Diane. I have a set of roosters above my kitchen window that also is too pretty to eat off! XOXO
Love those plates!!
Oh those plates are so pretty! I spy a couple of pretty dolls there in the foyer too!
(I loved Vee's comment, what kind of hooks did you use?)

Hi There,
It is looking so good with all the lovely pictures and write up as well. I have been here after a while but enjoyed scrolling through your rest of the wonderful posts. Have a wonderful week ahead. Thanks for sharing your talent! Take care.

Love the fish plates up there. They are perfect for your beachy home.
Hello Diane, The fish plates are lovely and you have found the perfect place for them...It is wonderful to have such handy hubby.. Hugs Judy
Those plates were a great find! Love how they look above the door!!!
GREAT looking plates and perfect spot for them. Love your new header. I am guessing the book is Johnahton Livingston Seagull?
Your plates are so cute and perfect for your Florida home. I also like learning the secret to hanging them. Your hubby is a clever man.
I also think the book is Johnathon Livingston Seagull.
These plates are so perfect for you and your home, Diane. I love them above the door and under the arch. xo
Love your plates and the unique way to hang them!
It would appear you've found the perfect spot for your collection of fish plates. They wouldn't look nearly as nice anywhere else and the half circle window above the door is a great spot for even more treasures. Great look!
Ohhhh! That worked well. I don't think that I've ever seen plates made for hanging like that. Very cool!
Nice job on the plates and I really like your blog. Thanks for sharing.
I think purple, pink, or aqua candles would look lovely!

I've always loved plates on the wall and these ones look lovely above the door!
Maybe your book is "Birds of Florida"?

What a great spot for them. Better late than never on finding a good place to display them.
Jonathan Livingston Seagull...?
I'll take a hug rather than a Yankee dime! LOL!
I like those plate above the door!
I love to hang up plates, I just hope no one slams your front door or they'll all come down. The plates are beautiful and add all kinds of color to your decor.
Hugs,
Meri
wow they look amazing in the foyer.

Love the plates and I LOVE where you hung them!! They look great! and yes one change does lead to another! I think you need some 'chunky' candles on that side table! They will look great with your shells and starfish! Oh and I also think the book is Jonathan Livingston Seagull!

Linda
