Weekly Recap

Mikasa dishes

So the other day, I decided to go to HomeSense to buy a cake stand.  As always, I toured the store instead of heading directly to where I needed to go.  And oh my goodness, you guys, I found the most stunning set of white dinnerware!  I honestly stood there for a good 20 mins trying to decide if I should buy the set or not.  I have to tell you that I've been looking for a beautiful, well made white set of dishes for a few years now.  The others were either too expensive, sold as an entire set, or the design wasn't exactly what I was looking for. HomeSense completely took me by surprise by having exactly what I was looking for, when I wasn't looking for it!

After some thought, I decided to take the pieces home.  I just couldn't pass them up.  I ended up with 10 place settings (minus the cups, we love our mug collection) and so far, I'm beyond thrilled with them!

Before I go, here are some of my favourite links from this week:

• Love this art DIY!
• I've been looking for a pair of jeans that I didn't have to roll up when wearing ankle boots, these ones fit the bill (I had to size up)
• The newly renovated Williams-Sonoma store in Yorkdale looks amazing and I can't wait to visit!
• I'm toying with the idea of getting a round table for our kitchen, this photo is making it easy to say "yes"
• Ahhh, the art of layering during the fall months
• How gorgeous are the photos (and outfit, of course) from this post on Julia's blog?  Jaw.drop.  I heart fall (and Julia's incredibly fashion sense!)

Have a lovely weekend and PS don't forget to enter this fantastic giveaway!

Cheers,

Julie
