I love those plates. I could spend hours in a Home Goods, although we don't have any near me. Great finds.
ReplyDeleteWell I am not telling you how cool they look. I am not speaking to anyone who has a Home Goods nearby! LOL Have a great one. It looks really nice, I love the wavy edges on the plates.
