Have you been to Pier 1 Imports lately??

I don't know about the rest of you (but, OK- I can probably guess) but I am ready for warm weather.... Daughter and I stopped into Pier 1 the other day and found some things that really put us in the summer mood (i.e. outdoor relaxation, sipping cold blender beverage of choice from gorgeous, colorful stemware while wearing flip flops and maybe eating a burger or 2 hot off the grill- heaven). Here are some of our finds.....
 
Colorful pillows, perfect for inside to brighten up a room, or how about on a deck or sunporch.... 

 Lovely flower napkin rings - notice how the orange one matches Vanna's Daughter's fingernail polish....

And then there are the dishes... *sigh*... I am a sucker for plates and bowls and platters, and I just want everything I see in the store, every shape and size.... I come by it honestly, though... my mom and grandmother have been collecting for years.... don't you just love all of the colors!?!

I must admit to serious infatuation with this platter....

And finally, just 2 words....

POLKA DOTS!!!!!!
