I am really in to keepsake items such as the plates and boxes. The years pass by so fast that it is easy to forget events that took place in the past. The plates and platters make a unique, yet pretty way to remember special events.
The plates can match the decor of a baby’s room, a painting of the house the housewarming gift is going to, or something special to remember your wedding day by. They can also be created to allow for signatures of the guests who were in attendance at your shower or wedding reception.
They make great gift ideas for the hard to buy for person. The sky is the limit with these pieces. Do not stop at the designs on my sites. You have an idea, I would love to turn it in to a reality.
The plates and platters make nice wall hangings. They also look great in a stand sitting on a bookshelf, mantel, or even on top of a cabinet. They can placed in several rooms throughout your home for everyone to see.
Here is my latest creation I want to share with you. Let me know what you think!

I am a very versatile decorative painter who paints on many surfaces from wine glasses to walls. My designs range from
floral to painted houses. There are not too many designs I am not willing to try. I get bored easily, so it is fun to be challenged!
I offer wholesale prices to shops and store owners who are interested in carrying my products in their storefronts. I do not require a minimum order at this time. So, if you are a small shop and want to try a few of my pieces to see how well they sell, you are a free to do so. Your initial investment will be small in order to give it a try.
My wine glasses seem to be a big seller. There are glass and plastic dessert plates which can be hand painted to match the wine glasses. This is also available for the martini, margarita, and the champagne glasses. For the beer drinkers I offer the Pilsner glasses. They can be painted to match as well, but often these are painted for men. A more masculine design might work better for this one!
Themed glasses are a big hit too. These are painted to match the interest of the person receiving the glass. I have painted themes from ladybugs to cowboy boots! These make great gift ideas for wedding and bridal parties.
I also offer a line of personalized hand painted signature plates and platters. They can be painted just as a keepsake without the signatures. They make great gift ideas for weddings, wedding receptions, wedding showers, birthdays, baptisms, anniversaries, graduations, and retirements. This is a wonderful keepsake and unique gift that they will not have too many of.
I am open to any other requests. If there is something your customers are asking for, please let me know. If it something I can create for you, I will be more than glad to do so.

Have you ever wondered what a great gift idea would be for an anniversary? This Family Tree Platter would be just the right gift to give for such an occasion. The family tree is hand painted on a 16″ oval porcelain platter. It is painted with acrylic enamel paint and a Pebeo paint pen.
This plate is custom painted with your family information or the family information of the person who will be receiving it. The platter can either be hung on the wall or placed in a stand to be sat somewhere for everyone to see. It would look nice on a shelf, mantel, or even a cabinet.
This platter is for decorative use only and should be hand washed when cleaned to preserve the design. It is not meant for serving food as it is not food safe. A platter can be painted that is safe to serve food on, as long as no sharp objects are used on the painted design.
The Family Tree Platters also make great gift giving ideas for the upcoming holidays or even birthdays. Some people are hard to buy for and this would be something unique. It is also a great keepsake piece that can be passed on to other family members as time goes on.

Large paper hat boxes make wonderful memory keepsake boxes. They are hand painted with acrylic enamel paint. Many items can be kept in such a box. Keepsake boxes make great gift giving ideas. They not only can hold smaller gifts and be used as the wrapping, but they are a part of the gift as well. What a unique way to give a gift.
Some items that you might consider keeping in a box like this are pictures, a lock of hair from child’s first haircut, children’s teeth that have come out, a plate or a napkin from a special party or event, awards your child received throughout their sport and school career, invitations that were used for special events, and anything else you might think of.
These personalized boxes are great for weddings, wedding showers, baby showers, anniversaries, birthdays, births, baptisms, and graduations. I am certain you could probably think of a few other life events that memory boxes would be perfect for.
The box will be a special hiding place to keep your memories safe. Saving items this way makes it easier to know where they and where they should go as your collect them.
The best way to buy a keepsake box is to have it personalized and custom painted to fit the celebration’s theme and colors, or you could consider providing the person’s interests so the theme can fit the person who will be receiving it.
Keep the memories safe!

Have you ever wondered what to get the bride and groom or the the couple who has been married 25 years? I have a wonderful and unique solution to this question.
Custom personalized hand painted glasses are the way to go. You can choose from champagne glasses, wine glasses, margarita glasses, martini glasses, pilsner glasses, and water glasses for that matter.
Each glass would be painted with the flowers and colors that represent the year in their marriage they are celebrating. Another option could be to have the glassed painted to match the flowers used at their original ceremony. The glasses can be personalized with the couples names, anniversary year, and the date of their marriage. Of course, if you would like something else written that is welcome too.
These make great gifts even for the newlyweds. The custom is to save the top of your wedding cake to celebrate your first anniversary. Why not buy them a set of champagne glasses, personalized and custom painted for them to use for this celebration? Painted toasting glasses are very inexpensive too. This would be special to them and something to keep forever!
I would love to hear from you. Please visit me here: www.amyspaintedhouseandmore.com.

I am working hard to come up with new paintings for my decorative plates, keepsake plates, and signature platters. I am also working on some holiday serving dishes for Christmas time. Stay tuned to what is coming up next!
I wanted to share with you the newest of my house plates. These make great housewarming gifts, wedding, or even birthday gifts. This something that not only can commemorate a special day, but add to their home decor. They sit nicely in stands that can be placed on a shelf or sit nicely on top of a desk top. They also can be placed in a wire plate hangers and hung on the wall for everyone to see.
These plates and platters can be designed to fit any special event coming up in your life or the life of someone special to you. They can be painted to allow for signatures of the guests who attended the event. They can also be painted with food safe paint to be eaten from or to serve your guests from. The choice is yours!
I’d love to hear from you regarding your thoughts on these special plates and platters.

Are you looking for a unique gift idea for a house warming present? I have just added several different types of themed plates to my site. The newest one added is a house painted on a 10.50 inch plate. It has the family’s name who the plate will be given to.
This plate is just an example of what can be done. It is not limited to this style of house. Custom plates can be painted to fill the needs of the person you are giving it to. If you would like to have the house resemble more like the house they live in and the colors, that can easily be done. Just email me at: aamilou@aol.com. I will be glad to assist you with this wonderful gift.
House warmings are not the only occasion this gift would be great for. You can give it as a birthday present or a wedding present with the newly married couple’s last name. This would be a great keepsake for them to begin their new life together.
These designs can also be painted on platters if you would prefer a platter this is oval and approximately 16″ long. Either choice can be hung on the wall or placed in a stand to be sat someplace special.
The paint used on this plate is a combination of Pebeo Paints and acrylic enamel paints. The plates are baked in the oven to set the paint. These are for decorative purposes only.
I’d love to hear from you!

Need a Great Gift Idea? I have a great gift idea for you. Have you ever wondered what a unique gift would be for a someone who is special to you? I have recently begun to paint themed glasses. I have had people contact me for bridal party gifts, wedding gifts, etc to paint glasses that have a theme designed for the person in mind. For example, a person made a request to paint Pilsner glasses for a couple is getting married. They wanted a set of 4 glasses. I painted two for the bride with colorful hippie items and two for the groom who loves music, guitars, and Texas. They really turned out neat and will be a gift with a lot of thought behind it.
I also had the liberty of painting 10 Martini Glasses for a bride to be. She contacted me with a list of all the different interests each person in her bridal had. I had the free reign of coming up with the design. What a great time. Each glass was designed with that person in mind. They didn’t get the same thing and it was a unique gift that couldn’t be picked up at any department store.
There is no limit to the designs that you could find on a wine glass, martini glass, margarita glass, Pilsner glass, or just a regular drinking glass. Do you have a need for such a special item?

Nothing can make a special event or gathering stand out moore than having beautiful serving platters and serving spoons to match. You can have these pieces for your next party. They are affordable and are easy to get.
When you begin to plan for a wedding reception, special event, or even a dinner party what do you consider? Of course one of the first areas you focus on is the menu. What type of food are you going to serve? Will it be fingers foods, desserts only, or a full course meal?
Once you have made the decision on the menu, the next area you focus on are the plates, napkins, silverware, servings plates and platters, serving utensils, and glassware you will be using at the event. It is important to impress your guests and make the event a memorable one. Invision all of these items matching or coordinating with each other. You do not want your serving ware to be something that you picked up at the store or something everyone else has.
A great way to ensure this does not happen is to have your items customed beaded and painted for you. You have the freedom to select the colors and designs of your choice. You will not have to spend a fortune to do this either. It is very affordable for most.
Your party will be the talk for a long time. It will make you feel good knowing that you put on such a wonderful party, one that will make you the envy of your family and friends!

I have been busy working on getting some orders filled that are for wedding gifts and favors. I just completed a lovely bridal shower gift for my best friend’s daughter. I really hope she likes it.
At last weeks shower I gave her the wedding signature platter. This week at her next shower I am giving her a hand painted 9 piece Margarita Set. This set is brightly painted with polka dots in multi-colors. The dots are different sizes even down to the dots on the base. This set will be wonderful for entertaining guests when they come over for a visit. Even the salt/sugar plate is painted on the reverse side to added color.
The paint used is acrylic enamel paint. It is non-toxic. The pieces have all been baked to set the paint. The bottom side of the plate has been sealed with varnish to added protection to the paint as it is being used.
These pieces are dishwasher safe if placed on the top rack. I do however recommend hand washing to preserve the design. They are durable and should provide the bride and groom with years of use.
