Its back!!!!…the Home Goods Round Up…I have not been to Home Goods since the last post so this was longgggggg overdue!!!!  I found some really great things, esp for Summer Entertaining!!  All of these items were found yesterday at the Home Goods in Port Chester.   Happy Shopping!!!

I love this square “boxwood” wreath for the front door!!

This is so great for a bathroom…the seat lifts up for storage.

I love these utensil holders.  They would look great on an outdoor dining table!!!  I need to go back!!!

I love this outdoor entertaining bar cart!!!

These outdoor planters are so cool!!!!

I also love this garden stool!!!

These plates are great!!!!

How cool is this wine holder!!!!
These lamps are fabulous!!!!  And there was a pair!!!!  I wish I had a place for them…

Remember my obsession with rattan last summer?  How perfect is this?  I am still dreaming about it.

There were so many really really nice beach towels!!!

I had to show you the entire beach towel isle.

This bamboo magazine rack is incredible!!!

These LOVE signs are perfect for a teen girls desk or a college dorm room.

These baskets are amazing!!!  I could see them in a pool house or in a cabana.

These water bottles make a great gift!!!!

These tiki glasses are a must-have for summer cocktails!!!

These drink mixes are so much fun!!!

My husband always asks for a new cooler…Voila!!! 

The planters would be so great out on a patio filled with succulents or mini ferns!!!

A Lemon Cake To Die For

I found this recipe on Pinterest  At Mother’s Day dinner, I noticed that the lemon desserts were so popular.  I started thinking that I really never bake anything lemon.  Soooooooooo I thought I would try this.  Also, I was very happy to read that it is Weight Watchers Friendly, i.e. LOW POINTS!!!!!  Bon Appetit!!!!!
