I guess I can’t fight it, fall is on its way. I was running through HomeGoods looking for a lamp and was stopped in my tracks by the fall dishware displays. I don’t know, maybe I’m just biased, but HomeGoods has the cutest seasonal dishware ever (agree ?). It’s eye candy for the dish loving soul.  I ooh’d and ahh’d,  grabbed my camera and clicked away. I thought you’d like to see some from my store. Yours might have some different sets, but all are adorable. (click on photos to enlarge)

Another thing I like, is that you don’t have to buy a whole set of dishes (which is hard to resist), you can buy piece-by-piece.  What a great way to add some stylish seasonal accents to your home (for next to nothing). I often pick up 2, 4, or more plates to display on plate stands in my house. Then on the holiday, I’ll use the display plates (washed first) to add to my table. I like to mix and (mis)match dishware, so I’ll add in the holiday dishes with my others for a casual but creative table. Sometimes I hang the dishes on the wall, replacing ones I use the rest of the year. This infuses some seasonal charm in a simple, changeable way.

I also like to pick up a few extra dishes (love the leaf shaped ones) and add some sliced  pumpkin bread, wrapped up in cellophane, tied with a  raffia  bow, to give a little autumn gift to someone special. I’d love it!

I know, it seems early to think of these things, but I’ve learned a lesson at HomeGoods the hard way…if you don’t get it when you see it… it’s gone!  So, I tried to resist, but a few darling dishes jumped into my cart somehow  :)  Just a heads-up from a consumate bargain shopper.

It’s hard to leave summer behind, but all of these  fabulous fall finds are aiming my attention to Autumn acceptance in an exciting way. ( BTW, I found my lamp as well, so I left,  HomeGoods Happy).

Are you fired-up for Fall?
