Dinnerware makes my heart pitter-patter.

All of my life handbags have made my heart skip a beat, but then you buy a home and suddenly the latest potato peeler or dish towels is what your rainy day funds start going to.

 

For me dishes have become my new handbags and two days ago while out shopping I spotted these amazing finds!

 

Not only were they in one of my favorite color combos, reminded me of Henri Bendel's signature awnings and on clearance, but I flip them over and of course they are Kate Spade*.

 

My sisters were with me and they sweetly reminded me that I have an iphone now so I better snap a picture real quick and share this find with my readers. I snapped a couple of pictures and home we went.

 

Do you think I could get those plates out of my mind? No way! I wanted to run back as soon as I got home, but since I already have a million sets of dishes (ok it’s only 2, but still it’s a lot for just me and Jon) I decided I against.

 

I literally could not get them out of my head. Going to bed was a nightmare, because I kept having dreams that I went back to the store and they were gone aka this is where crying would ensue.

 

So, what does this lady do when she wakes up the next morning to a snow covered yard and roads that haven’t been plowed?

 

Answer:

Yea that’s right she runs out, cleans the car has Jon clean the car, and makes a beeline for TJ MAXX.

 

I was able to snag 8 large striped dinner plates for $7.50 a piece, 8 striped bowls for $5 a piece and instead of the small dessert plates that I pictured above I decided to add a little polka dot, because who doesn’t love a polka dot for the salad plates at $5.50 a plate!

 

Now of course this couldn’t be the end of my story. There were only 5 polka dot salad plates and I need 8. So, while everyone else was getting prepped for their many parties last night I dragged Jon out to 4 TJ MAXX stores. Not one polka dot could be found in the color combo I wanted!

 

Don’t fret though, because today while everyone is hopefully still a little drunk from last night I’m headed out to check some more TJ MAXX shops.

 

Fingers crossed I find them.
