Dear Friends –

We have designed some new plates (5 so far. Well, one is the original Viaduct art by Ed Croft). These are made of Melamine (plastic) – BPA-Free, Food-Safe, Dishwasher Safe (But NOT Microwave Safe). These are meant to be used rather than displayed, but to each their own. They are pretty, but again, made of melamine.

Here’s the scoop. We order from Shutterfly and we have a deal. Order THREE or more plates and the shipping is free. They will come straight to you and they take about a week to ten days to arrive.

If you really only want one or two, the cost is not sensible. If you order 3 or more, they are $15 each. You CAN mix and match. If you order fewer than 3, you need to buy a shipping box, even if you live in Elkridge. Sorry.

So be sure to pick at least 3. As a fundraiser we do a slight mark-up (considering PayPal Fees and a little bit for us). Believe me, we are not making much on these. We don’t want them to be completely unaffordable!

We only have 5 designs right now. One is the Viaduct which was designed by Ed Croft. The others are taken from photos, with a little manipulation by AI and me. Except for Daisy, the photographs were taken by me. We will add more as time allows. If you have a request, email me at [email protected].

This is the sample set I bought – yes I bought two fire trucks because I have twin grandsons who are obsessed with fire trucks! The St. Augustine one does have a little pink in the redbuds!

If you are interested in these plates, they are available on line, printed as they are ordered, so they won’t be in time for Christmas this year. 🙂
