Thank you, Eddie!

A big thanks to Eddie Ross for giving me an award in his first Eddie Awards, broadcast live on Blog Talk Radio recently. Eddie now has a new radio show on Blog Talk, so tune in on Sunday evenings at 9:00 pm if you get the chance. I was honored to be chosen in the Decorating a Room under $500 category for my beachy guestroom redo. Click on the pic to go to Eddie’s post and see all the other recipients in other categories. There were some really great makeovers and ideas from the others too!

And look what my friends, Eddie and Jaithan sent me….two more Bordallo green plates to add to my bunny dish collection. What could make a girl happier than that?! Thanks guys, you’re the best!

Don't forget, Monday I'm having a really fun giveaway going, so you will definitely want to stop by for that. I also found some treasures at the yardsales this weekend and will share those later on in the week.

Bordallo Bunny Dishes

IMG_4122

Several years ago, I started a collection of the green Bordallo bunny dishes. I know many of you share my love of these Portugal-made beauties, so I thought I’d let you know that right NOW is a great time to get out and hunt for them. TJ Maxx, Homegoods, and Marshalls all carry these dishes, as well as occasionally Tuesday AM and others. They are a wonderfully affordable dish collection and I’ve really enjoyed mine.

I have several of them displayed over my sink on a little shelf. There are also cabbage pieces which coordinate with the bunnies and I have a few of those too.

As well as stacked on my glass and iron rack on the breakfast buffet piece.

They are the yummiest shade of green. I was in Homegoods this past week and saw several pieces that I already had…and a few that aren’t in my collection. This is the latest piece I found, a small pedestal cake plate.

With a sweet little bunny in the middle. And it was completely irresistible.

I’ve got many pieces of this beautiful Bordallo dishware, but there always seems to be room for just one more! This time of year offers the best selection, so if you need another dish collection or want to add to your current one, get out there and browse.

Stop back by on Monday for an update on the dining room project!
