I am a firm believer in Synchronicity.

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!

All plates are hand crafted. Yes, each picture is individually cut and glued.
They are meant to be looked at, laughed at and talked about!
Since all the work is done under the glass they can be used, but do not put them in the dishwasher. Most people put cookies, cracker and wrapped candy on them
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!"
