So I'm back from 11 blissful days in Cali with a tan and a few treasures. A tan being one of them. If you know me, you know I rarely get out in the sun. Anyway, while I was there I went to my fav TJ Maxx and HELLO!!! Take a look at these beauts!! My hubby was like YAY! You NEEDED some more dishes!!! I kid. Really I did need a new everyday set. My green ones were getting all chippy:(
So, I came home with 8 salad plates and 7 dinner plates. Yes 7. 7. I said 7. This goes against all that is right in my world. I ALWAYS buy in 12's! But I thought no biggie! I'll just hit another TJ and pick up the rest. I was hoping for 12 but will settle for a least 1 more dinner to round out the 8. But no. I went to 3 other TJ's and 3 Marshalls, and nothing!! I'm going to check one more TJ tomorrow and hope and hope and hope:) Because seriously? I LOVE THEM!!!
I guess I just have a thing for birds. Like my mom. My whole life I've known of my mom's love of birds. She would sing and talk to them in the yard:) And always had at least one bird feeder:)
So as I was taking this pic, I stood up and looked in my china cabinet and started laughing!!
I just realized that before I left for Cali, I found these at Tuesday Morning. A store that just so happens to be right next to my gyno and makes that little visit actually tolerable:) I guess all that Cali sun must have fried my brain!
I thought they went perf with these Villeroy & Boch polka dot plates I got from my sis in law:)
And then I had to laugh again thinking....I really am my mother:)Tweet tweet!!
Love, love the dishes!! I was at the Home Store at my folks beach house and bought bathroom items for my sisters bathroom. I will be going back and will check for you on the dishes!!

ReplyDeleteI love the little birdies too! I am trying not to go overboard...but it may be too late! Awesome find!
ReplyDeleteThe Home Goods on Baseline between McQueen and Cooper has more of your little green birdie plates. I just got a set and they had a bunch more...

I saw some at home goods on Saturday- alma school and queen creek. Went back to get the place setting for four but someone had bought one single dinner plate and now the set is incomplete!!! I also saw them on eBay but they go for $12 a piece.
