Mirrors and Plates

I've been squeezing in a little decorating between Shoppe duties over the past few days and wanted to share a little something.

 There is this skinny little wall space between the window and the corner. 

It needed something.

I tried hanging ironstone plates to give some texture,

but they were so close to the wall color that they disappeared.

I told hubster, too bad there's not a mirror behind them.  He laughed and said, "If there was a mirror behind them you couldn't hang them."

Hmmm.....wanna bet?

All of the plates already had d-rings affixed to the back from a former project.  Take that and add some fishing line and a single screw and VOILA'!

I adore old crazed ironstone plates.

But, really dig being able to see the plate backs reflected in the mirror.

Can you imagine doing this with a large collection over a very large mirror?

Hmmm......
