Enter to Win A Unique Gift For The Cat Lovers In Your Life! A customized plate from Three Sisters Plates!


I am a firm believer in Synchronicity.  
Synchronicity: from Wikipedia: is the experience of two or more events that are apparently causally unrelated or unlikely to occur together by chance, yet are experienced as occurring together in a meaningful manner.

Some months back  I was shopping at my local market and noticed a man wearing a Cleveland Browns cap. I live in Michigan and Cleveland happens to be my home town.  Always one to strike up a conversation with a stranger, whether they like it or not,  I approached the man and asked if he was from Cleveland. He told me no, but that his daughter lived there. I asked her name, which sounded familiar and the kind gentleman proceeded to phone her. I got on the phone and explained how I had just met her Dad, pleasantries were exchanged. It turned out she didn't know who I thought she knew and that was that. I thanked the gentleman for calling her and we went on our way. Just a fun coincidence in a local grocery store,  nothing more. Or so I thought.

A month or so later I received this keepsake   for my birthday from my niece who has a knack of knowing the perfect gift to give to anyone for whatever occasion! It came from Three Sisters Plates, you can visit their website right here.


I couldn't have been more delighted!  I spent so much time going through every photo,  each one stirring up memories of my deeply loved and greatly missed home town. I couldn't wait to display this keepsake with  pride in my home.


I derived so much joy from this plate that it got me to thinking,  I wondered if the shop owner also made plates that featured cats  and I began searching. YES! She did!


I promptly ordered one, and a dog plate too! At the  time I placed my order, I contacted the shop owner (Sandie) and asked if she would be interested in holding a give-away for my readers. Through our conversation I learned that she was from Cleveland which of course, led me to start my interrogation. When she mentioned her last name, I asked some other questions and then came the SHOCKER. She said "Are you the same lady who met my Dad at the market some months ago?" I nearly DIED! Synchronicity at work! What were the odds of THIS happening?

It was  meant to be that I met Sandie's father in the market, it was meant to be that I received one of her gorgeous, unique, handmade plates for my birthday,  so that I may share these marvelous plates with you! Here are some  photos of my Personalized Cat Plate




How incredible are these plates? (The plate stand is sold separately and is super inexpensive).  These make the PERFECT and most UNIQUE GIFTS and with over 130 themes you are sure to find one that would be perfect for you, or the lucky recipient!

Isn't Synchronicity the best??!
By meeting Sandie's Dad at a random market in Michigan, and receiving MY Cleveland Browns sports plate as a birthday gift, I decided to purchase a dog and cat plate, (yes, I BOUGHT my plates!!) which led to my asking if Sandie would agree to having a give-away for YOU, and she agreed! As she said in an email:  "after all, we're practically related!"

GIVE-AWAY! ONE LUCKY PERSON LIVING IN THE U.S. will win their own PERSONALIZED CAT PLATE!!   (a $45 value plus shipping). The give-away starts NOW and will end on WEDNESDAY MARCH 27TH AT NOON. WINNER WILL BE SELECTED BY www.random.org and WILL BE ANNOUNCED THURSDAY MARCH 28TH.

Oh and pay attention when you are at your local market, you never know WHO you will meet!


In full disclosure: I purchased my plates and chose to feature Three Sisters Plates because I LOVE these fabulous plates! I was not paid for this post.
