I remember clearly the first time I stepped in to a HomeGoods store. I was immediately drawn to the dishes. That is the day my Transferware collection started. I buy just a few pieces every season but it is starting to accumulate and now I am the proud owner of Transferware in red, brown and blue. I find it to be one of my most versatile collections. I can set the table with it, display it on the wall, the mantle or even in my hutch. Mixed with my collection of white dishes and serving pieces, it always makes a festive statement.

I change the dishes out according to the season, which keeps things feeling new and fresh. I’m amazed at how little work it takes to make my house look season ready when I mix in the transferware. Add a few colorful touches and you’re done. This year I’m really trying to simplify the holidays and this is the perfect start for me. I hope your holiday decorating is as stress free as mine.�
