You are at the right place, don’t leave! You’ll notice I have a new header. I had to get a new one made to accomodate Blogher ad rules, so my designer, Joanna, got it done for me. It’s a little less flashy than the other one, but I think I’ll grow to love it too. 
Strolling through Homegoods recently, I spotted some funky and fresh spring dishes. Aren’t these fun? I could easily be a dish-aholic if I allowed myself. I have to stick to the white ones for now or my new brown and white transferware, that’s enough of an obsession. But, I could sure drool over these too.
And how about these oh-so-cute zebra ones?
The soft blue and green hues look beautiful on this bird dish and I thought this platter would look stunning hanging on a wall. It’s quite large.
This are just so colorful and springy.
And of course, there are plenty of bunnies out there this time of year, waiting for someone to take them home for Easter. Alas, I have too many bunnies already. Good time to pick these up, since Easter is over now.
And this spring display was front and center in the Pottery Barn store. How inspiring are these colors right now, greens, yellows, and whites. Love it!
Would you like to get involved in a worthwhile decorating project? My friend, Kelee, over at The Katillac Shack is starting a program called Design Gives Back and is encouraging our readers to get involved with a local project for a worthwhile cause. Go over and read it and if any of you would like to partner with Kelee on this, tell her you came over from Southern Hospitality. Take a look at the Habitat for Humanity house that Kelee designed, she has a video all about this colorful home. I may even be getting a local Birmingham project together that some of us could work on as a team sometime this year. Wouldn’t it be fun to help change the lives of someone in need by just sharing our creativity?!
Today will be the last chance, so don’t miss the giveaway on my Review Blog that is currently happening! It will be going on until early a.m. Wednesday and you don’t want to miss it.
Good Morning Rho!

Home Goods is my favorite!
I can just imagine how people were looking at you funny for taking pictures inside a HomeGoods- it is soooooo something I would do. You have to have your camera on you at all times cuz you never know what you might see. Im headed to HomeGoods/Marshalls & TJMaxx today to find some fun stuff for my new kitchen makeover- I am sooo excited about it-hope to post pics soon. oh and thanks for the laminate tutorial because I was JUST getting ready to do a small bookcase w/doors thats laminate-perfect timing!!

I LOVE HomeGoods, but the closest one is over an hour away. I make a trip of it when I go and spend a few hours there. That large platter may just be worth the trip!
By the way, thanks for stopping by my blog.
All the dishes are so pretty. I think I am near the dishaholic category, I just keep looking and drooling and finding more and more that I love. lol You found some real beauties. Hugs, Marty
I could spend my life savings at Home Goods! Those polka dot and zebra dishes are to die for!
I am in LOVE with that first set of dishes! There’s got to be some excuse to buy something that pretty, right? 😉
That bird plate is gorgeous!
I love all the dishes especially the ones with the little bird!!!
Thanks for sharing your shopping excursion with us!!!
Have a wonderful day!!!
XOXO

What a great idea..and habitat is so awesome. Guess what our church is doing this month….giving yard salers each $100 to go and buy as many home things as they can to donate to various non-profit/homeless/habitat type organizations. Isn’t that such a great idea as well?
I like the look of your new header. True, it’s not as flashy as the old one, but it is still beautiful and looks like “you”. Love the bowl of acorns!
Hello dear Rhoda- I too saw those dishes at HG and had to walk away! They look a lot like Paula Deen’s new dishes with the polka dots! You have to stop by my blog and see the pix of my Easter Tablescape- you can see the rug you helped me find when you lived in Atlanta in the background! I still have it! Also be sure to leave your input on the post with pix of books from the show house.
PS Forgot to add that I found the large square dishes used for our Easter table at Home Goods recently too. They blend right in with a set we already had!
Love those dishes! The lemon tree limbs must be a hot item…They were in the latest issue of Pottery Barn as well. I even think I saw them in Hobby Lobby. I may have to get me some of those. *smiles* Zebra print…Ahh…Love it!
I love all the dishes! Your header looks pretty too!
I wish we had a Home Goods nearby. I’d be there every week. lol We made a trip during spring break to Houston and went shopping at a Home Goods. I fell in love with their home decor.
Have a nice day
Sincerely,
Sandra
Fantastic finds, as usual! I am in LOVE with the platter, it's a bit remnicant of Thomaspaul, with the bird & that lovely corner flower design. Perfection.
Love all of theses dishes but my favorite is the first set. Love that blue and brown together.
Have a great day!
Linda
Love all of those dishes,however I am limited to just two sets also. That display at Pottery Barn is right up my alley. I love all those colors and the lemons.
Enjoy your day!
