Wouldn’t you like to know about a company whose website is: I Break Plates (dot) com?

Well, I’ll tell you about. At the Green Products Show I saw a youngish lady at one booth, which had broken plates on display. I asked if she fixed broken antique or heirloom plates. She said, “No, I break them even more!”  Huh? Actually, the idea behind the Broken Plate Pendant Company is really clever, and it can save a family from the sorrow of dropping and shattering grandma’s serving dish that’s been in the family for more than 100 years. Instead of trying to glue it back together, which never really works, you sent to the Broken Plate Pendant Company. There is will live life again in as it’s transformed into a renewed form. Artist Juliet Ames told me she breaks each and every cracked or chipped plate with love…and force…crafting them into a collection of inspired and versatile pieces. Did you break your Great Aunt Myrtle’s favorite serving plate? No bother! Send the shards her way and she can craft a number of wearable jewelry for family members. The man’s selection is far less, mostly cuff links, but it’s a way for the whole family to own a piece of family china that was accidentally broken. Most pieces I saw the Green Products Expo ranged in price from $25 to $65. You can check out the various options and get more info at the company website:
