    Oh What Wonderful Goodies Kathleen!~
    You're a 'killer' of a shopper..great buys. Those red and white plates are lovely and go so well w/the CTS heart dishes. The toile napkins..are always a favorite w/me.
    I recognize the B&W dish, from CTS...I've got the square one like it...lol. It's in my B&W Toile Guest Bedroom on the night table. You were lucky to get out and get those bargains, before the next storm hits...Good For YOu.

    ohhh, I REALLY like the plates with the dark red border and white flowers. Those are so pretty!!
    You made quite a haul, which is no surprise from you. LOL.
    You're good!

    hugs, Karen

    What a haul!!!! I'm drooling over the blue & white plate and the black & white napkins and the toile naplkins and . . . everything! Question: in the pic with the close-up of the red-rimmed plate, is that black, white & gold thing above it a napkin? The pattern is gorgeous! I'm sad that we don't have a HG in our state, as it looks like they have some great buys.

    Yes, Lynne, the black white gold is a napkin from W Sonoma. They have great linens...and I wait for the sale!
    I got 4 placemats there a few weeks ago, reversible, quilted..I'll see if I have a pic..
    Found it..

    I think it will go with the reverse side of these mats..

    Kathleen, I love the little heart plates. How many of those did you get? Cute, cute, cute. Love those black and white napkins too, and the plates with the red rim and flowers. Well, no use to just list each item--I like it all, you did good, gal. I've not tried the veggie bags, was afraid it was just a gimmick. Can you actually tell a difference? Luvs

  • 17 years ago

    Luvs, I got 4 of the little heart plates, and when I went back they were all gone!
    I think the bags help...They were only 3.49 on sale for 16.
    The veggies seem to last longer...and I was tired of throwing the salad stuff out...

  • 17 years ago

    LOL, Luvs, the green bags DO work, unless you have a blond grandaughter who sees apples in it & rips the bag open to get one out!!!! Had to tell her that it was not even sealed, just folded over, per the instructions for the bags & once it's ripped, it's useless! LOL

    Kathleen, you are making me jealous, all that you bought (I remember that overflowing cart) after Christmas & now this great haul!!

    Our Home Goods doesn't have much on clearance & when they do, it's not marked down very much.

  • 17 years ago

    Thanks Luvs for asking that ques, on the veggie bags. I was also curious.
    So Kathleen, you do see a difference? I'm thinking of salad too. I buy it just for me..DH doesn't eat it. I'm not always in the mood to have it every night, and it does go bad quickly. I've tried pressing out as much air and moisture from the bag as possible, and that doesn't always work.

    Kathleen, wish I could have been with you on your Shopping Trip! So many pretty things and you have such a keen eye to be able to use things for multi-purposes. I especially like your ideas for those red/white toile frames/pic holders. The heart-shaped plates are perfect for this time of year. Wish I could find something like that and at that price! Great finds!

    "Can't show it all, but pulled a few bags out of the car trunk while YKW is out..."

    That made me laugh. It seems like it's taken me forever to learn all the blog/text initials. In fact, even though I know what most of the abbreviations mean now, I still stumble just a little when I'm reading and come to a set. But I read the letters YKW as smoothly as if the words were painted on the wall over my bed! Now why do you think that is?

    BTW, the lacy heart-shaped dishes get my voted for Most Coveted. (See, I can use them too. LOL!)

  • 17 years ago

    Yachter, sometimes I find nothing at Home Goods..other times it is good..
    I guess you have to go often!

    And yes, Jane, and Luvs, I think they help keep the veggies fresh. I wash them and reuse too. These are the cheaper version than the Debby Meyers green bags, I woudn't spend that much..

    I also bought the brown ones for bread...haven't tried them yet!

    DD, that's why I was so happy when CTS opened an hour from here...You can find decent things for a good price, but they fly out of there.
    Tam had some polka dot plates from there, but the one I went to didn't have anything like that!
    I did get 4 at WMSonoma after Cmas though...

  • 17 years ago

    Wow! What a haul! All the linens you scored are gorgeous. I really like the black and white prints and the toile. And the heart shaped dish is fantastic - what a deal!

    Cant wait to see the rest of your shopping goodies!

    Kathleen, the blue/white tray is so pretty too. And the napkins are wonderful, I never see prints like that at our stores. Are the little heart plates and the blue/white tray ceramic? I just can't believe the price on them and they are so darn cute! Luvs

  • 17 years ago

    YGG, OA!!! (you go girl...:) )

    Yes, Luvs, they are ceramic...The blue and white is very pretty...for a dollar I should have bought 4 instead of 2...could have used them as a salad plate!

    The hearts sold out early...I've had them in the car since before Cmas! And none left last time I went...
    Mo, to tell you the truth, I can't remember what I have shown and what I have tucked away...but sooner or later you will see them in a tablesetting!

    I know I have some plates, dark blue and white patterned squares in the trunk from HG, and I bought a lot of black and white patterned salad plates at HG as they were marked down to 1.00...I figured I could use them with my black , white or maybe even the red dinner plates. I will have to play with them...

    And I have some red and white polka dots I will use for a Val setting..

    And thanks for your interest...I don't want to bore anyone...but I love seeing what others buy too!

  • 17 years ago

    What a haul! I have seen many of those things in my jaunts to my favorite stores: Home Goods, Marshalls and TJMaxx (all within a couple of miles of my home......dangerous!)

    The red and white plates with the heart shaped plate on top are just darling. And I'm swooning over the toile napkins, having red toile in my DR.

    The black and white is all the rage....I see it everywhere and it just makes me want to do a black and white table. I'll live vicariously and watch what you put together!

    Great eye!

  • 17 years ago

    WOW girl...you did GOOD!!!!! I love the plates with the red border, and the white heart shaped ones...it reminded me to dig mine out! I bought 6 heart shaped plates about 10 or 15 years ago, but usually forget to get them out!
    You are a winner!!

  • 17 years ago

    I gosh, I love the white valentine plates and the plates with the red flower border.

    Regarding the white plates with the red rim and the words, I'm curious, did you get multiples? If not, what would you use the singles for? I often see singles of things that I love but then don't know what I would do with just one?

  • 17 years ago

    Maybe I missed them on time but these placemats are gorgeous! Really love them! They're so stylish. Also love the flower pots and the plates (red or brown/white?) with the flowers! Great buys, Kathleen!

  • 17 years ago

    You hit the mother load. Wow! That red dish with the flowers is my fav. I think I'm going to have to go back to the CTS. I saw those plates last week while I was there and didn't bother to pick any up. Grrrrrrr
