Kate Spade, beloved New York handbag designer best known for simple silhouettes, combined with her innovative use of fabrics, decided to cast her net into other seas, lauching a new line of paper goods debuting on her website this month. She also has some fresh new dinnerware that deserves mentioning, especially the dogwood point collection with its bold black and white floral pattern. You can have a kate swinging from your shoulder, a cute tea mug in hand, and some dainty stationary tucked away in that sweet avalon bag. Here are some fresh finds from her spring collection - so pretty!

dogwood point soup or cereal bowl, $24
budget idea: if you're not in the market for several, purchase just one to catch your keys on your entryway table.
pop love cup and saucer set, $60
gift idea: purchase a set for a friend, fill cup with heart shaped chocolates and include a box of your favorite tea. keep the plate for yourself to rest soap on in your bathroom.
floral coupe accent plate, $22
available in red, green or yellow.
budget idea: purchase one in each of the three available colors and using a wire plate holder, display them on your wall in semi circle fashion

rutherford circle floral accent mugs, $22
available in red, green or yellow.

budget idea: one is all you'll need to hold your pens. use felt feet for the bottom of the mug. cut a circular piece of felt to place in the interior bottom of your mug to avoid that sharp sound of pen hitting china.
