Like me, most of you love dish ware and setting a pretty table on many occasions.  So, today I’m sharing a new site that I think you’ll really enjoy.  Mad Hatter’s Platters is a small family owned business, started by Janet Hughes and her husband, Pat, in 2006.  After both of their in-laws passed away, their daughter-in-laws wanted to keep the family business going, so they took over Mad Hatter’s Platters and are still supplying the dish-aholics all over the country with their unique serving pieces.
I love their family story and how the platters are put together with an innovative high quality aluminum hardware design.
I get lots of opportunities to do giveaways, but don’t take them all unless I think that it’s something that all of you will like as well.
They sent me a platter of my choice to try out and I loved how easy it goes together. Â You can see on that link above how the hardware works and holds the pieces together very securely.
Here it is flat, with the hardware removed for storage. Â I chose a square white platter on the bottom and a zebra print plate on top. Â Love the combo!
There are so many things to do with platters like these, from fruit trays to serving pieces. Â Perfect for a party.
They even added a pretty red bowl for Valentine’s (or Christmas) decor. Â I had the red strawberries in the fridge, which showed off the white platter perfectly. Â Just add dipping sauce or chocolate in the top bowl for a yummy dessert treat.
You’re only limited by your imagination with these platters. Â They also sent me these melamine plates in blues and greens and they work the same way. The aluminum insert just screws apart for multi-changing.
I can see these being such a great gift idea or for you ladies who love dish ware, perfect for entertaining in many areas. Â Mother’s Day is not far down the road, so think about gift possibilities for the women in your life. Â I think they are so cute and versatile at Mad Hatter’s Platters.

I LOVE how versatile these platters are… Genius you can take it apart for storage!
I love the red!! Thanks Rhoda!!
These are so cute! I like the Fancy Flower Two Tier one the best.
I love the red bowl above the white bottom! Looks great with strawberries!
I love them, especially the starfish and seashell.
OMG – where have these things been HIDING??? They are so fantastic!! I love them all and shame on you for making us choose just one – but if I have to, I guess it would be the White Platter with Square Aqua Bowl Two Tiered. Imagine if they would let you mix and match the top and bottom plates — the combinations would be ENDLESS . . . .
I LOVE the gold polka dot platter! After ruthlessly “De-brassifying” my entire house, I’m shocked to find that I again love little touches of gold/brass here and there. 🙂
Well, if ‘Eat Drink & Be Merry’ comes back in stock that’ll be my first choice but coming in a very close second is the Rooster Two-Tiered. These are too, too precious for words!
I love the Birds on Branch!!
They’re all so pretty, but I really love the black and white! Thanks for the giveaway, Rhoda and Mad Hatter’s Platters!
What a great idea and I love that they took over their in-laws’ business. I am so partial to white dishes and my favorite is the White Elegant Platter w/ Large Bowl. They are all so wonderful.
Love them!!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway!!
Love the platter. Great to see that family business still go strong. That red would look great in my kitchen. :>))))))))))
The Blue & White Vines Two Tiered is gorgeous!
Lovr the zebra and white. Would be perfect in my black and white kitchen
I love the Fancy Flower two tiered. I’m hosting a bridal shower in April for my neice and I’m using mint green and coral. This would be perfect!!! thanks for the give away Rhoda. I love unique dishes like these.
I love them all but I am partial to the red and white platter!!
Love these. Thanks for the giveaway
Love the plates, I really like the offset one…great idea! However, I am really loving the fashion posts you are doing…keep ’em up!!! Thanks!
I love the White Elegant Plate with the Large Bowl that is 2 tiered. I also love the Cheese Board with the Flower and Fern Bowl. Great serving pieces.
