I found this blue & white shoe at a thrift store. During a visit to an antique mall the same day, I found a similar vase which was identified as an ivy planter.
I am planning at to create a 2019 photo calendar with my blue and white collection. I have dishes and decorator items in blue, blue and white and white which will provide plenty of still lifes. Look for the calendar later this year.


I found this great bag at the thrift store which of course worked really well in my kitchen. It is about 6 inches wide and 12 inches tall. Since the update to the kitchen last summer I have not had a place to store medium sized plastic grocery bags. I have placed it on my stove handle.
I use the large plastic bags in my garbage and I have a drawer to store those.
I see during my visit to a large chain store this weekend that they are now charging for plastic bags. I have been using reusable bags for groceries for over 25 years.
A Christmas gift of yellow and navy blue & white tea towels. Love it!


I have been looking for a teapot to go with my true blue dishes. I found this one recently. Color wise it is perfect match. You will note that it has a matte finish where the dishes have a shiny finish but variety is the spice of life.
With 8 in my collection I am done buying teapots!
