better basics

my target towels and dishes are getting ready for an upgrade. my plan is to embrace everyday luxuries - to buy fewer, but more expensive everyday items.

i plan to slowly collect this fiesta dinnerware (1/2 off) in mix and match colors. i like the sturdiness (oven-, dishwasher-, and microwave-safe with 3 year chip warranty) and the bold colors. and since they've been around from 1936, it doesn't look like it'll be discontinued anytime soon. i'm thinking turquoise, orange, plum and red to start.





for the towels, i'm thinking either dark pink or silver:



they have good reviews, and at $11.99 each won't break the bank (how many do u buy? i'm thinking six would be plenty).
