Springtime Is Delicious

Crate & Barrel has jumped on the spring bandwagon with their newest dinnerware collection and I am LOVING it!

Loads of bright & festive colors, graphic patterns and modern designs {think square bowls and plates} make throwing together a spring or summer-inspired soiree a total snap.  Don’t these make you want to sit out in the sun with a {very large} margarita?

From left to right, top to bottom: 1. Ruffle Chargers; 2. Square Dishes; 3. Square Plates; 4. Sorrento Melamine Dinner Plates; 5. Dipping Bowls; 6. Loire Plates; 7. Bianca Melamine Dinner Plates;  8. Whim Plates; 9. Focus Bowls; 10. Square Dishes.

If my husband wouldn’t divorce me, you can be sure I’d be loading up on these babies, particularly the turquoise melamine dinner plates with a few of the dishes from the “square” series thrown in for extra pizazz.  I swoon.

You can check out even more springy additions to the C&B dinnerware collections right here.

Is It Patio Weather Yet?

It’s been so gorgeous outside here in Texas over the past week or so, but now the word on the street is that we might be getting snow tomorrow night – what?!?  Even though we did have three snow days in December, we’re in Texas for crying out loud – enough of that cold weather stuff!  I’m ready to hang out on our patio!

Maybe I’m just in the mood for some outdoor chillin’ because of IGTBH’s newest sponsor, PatioSet.com.  I mean, how could you not drool over things like this?
