Elvis aka Jane’s entry in our Found Objects Found Art contest:

Pam,
Attached is my entry in the found objects contest. Strictly speaking, they’re not  “found” as they were a fabulous housewarming gift to us. I think the best part about the Hi-Snack plates is the box: get a load of the kitschy drawing illustrating their use. Those fingers look like they’re made of rubber! Thanks so much for the daily fun you provide!

Elvis (AKA Jane Finch-Howell)

    Yes, Maureen, I have seen a newer elliptical wood plate with a place to slide the stem of your wine glass into so it hangs off the plate. But these are just right for our 1956 ranch…. I only wish we had 20 more, so we could use them when we have parties!

    How interesting that things that go around come around! I saw something like this featured on the Steven & Chris show (see: http://www.cbc.ca/stevenandchris/index.html ) except they were made of white paper/plastic and nothing would stay on them! It was a great concept but just didn’t work! It was hilarious to watch the tv hosts try to show how they worked!
