Blue Monday March 2,'09


It's Blue Monday again and Sally is hosting so click on Smiling Sally to join in the fun.

I love the picture taken years ago of my three girls on the beach in their blue dresses walking into the blue yonder. Hydraengas have always been a favorite of mine and I think the blue and white dish balances out this blue and white vase on the left.


These plates are in my kitchen reminding me that it is spring and the flowers are in bloom, at least here in California.

These blue and white goodies are what I see when I'm at my kitchen stove.

Such pretty blue items. Of course my favorite is the pic of your three daughters on the beach. Love that!

I have never been a "blue" person but after seeing all the blue in blogland, I now want to incorporate that color. Gorgeous things you show us.

Thanks for coming by and for your nice comments, Kathy.

That picture of your daughters is not only a sentimental treasure, it's a piece of art. I love the composition. Your mantle is well balanced with blue and white. I'll bet you enjoy cooking with all of the pretties to gaze on. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

Kathy,

Just a note to thank you for taking the time to leave a note on my Southern Lagniappe blog. I'm so glad it led me to your "Red Door Welcome."

I love the picture of your daughters on the beach ... and it's so nice to have it as the focal point of your room so you can enjoy it every day.

I enjoyed visiting and will be back again soon.

Sincerely,

Janie

That shade of blue looks so nice with the yellow in your kitchen. I think it is your kitchen? Good job on the mantle arrangemen too.
