It's Blue Monday at Smiling Sally's and I've gotten a very late start! If you're getting a late start too join in here, and then maybe I won't feel so bad. L.O.L.
This is also a belated Happy Birthday tea for Lady Katherine and to my cousin Jill whose birthday I also missed. "I'm late, I'm late, for a very important date", what else can I say? I hope Lady Katherine and my cousin Jill celebrate their birthdays all month long! Care for tea and birthday strawberries? They are quite delicious! Notice that the new Artful Blogging magazine just happens to be blue for the occasion. The teapot once belonged to my sister and the blue and white dishes to my mother, who are celebrating with us from heaven. If you drink too much tea please feel free to use my very blue powder room.
I purchased a new dress form, shown below, to hang my jewelery on. I just love it. It was a bargain at the Home Goods store.
I decided to put my Eiffel Tower on the other side of the sink to balance out the black wire dress form that you see below. I love it in here.
Just in case you're wondering that bowl on the counter is for my cat's water. She only likes the freshest, cleanest water.

Oh Kathy your powder room is ADORABLE! Those strawberries are huge and they look so delicious. Perfect for dipping in chocolate. ;)
Hello Kathy,
You are so kind to have a tea for Lady Katherine.
She is such a special lady.
Your new dress form for holding jewelry is adorable! Pretty topiary curtain too.
Have a wonderful week.

I will certainly have tea with you! I love your powder room. I am currently redoing my black and white powder room. It has tile almost like yours! I love your window treatment and of course the dress form and the cute Eiffel tower! You did great!
My guest bathroom is blue and white too! Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
Kathy, What a lovely tea party and I adore your blue powder room! The threads of France in the room put a smile on my face! ;) ~CC Catherine from "Catherine de th`e Cups"

I also have a dress form in pink. I love your Eiffel tower also.
I must warn you. I was hanging my silver jewelry on my form and with it being exposed to the elements it turned on me. Just giving you a heads up. I now put costume jewelry on it. My Tiffany bracelet now needs to go to the polishing doctor.
Happy Blue Monday and HB to Lady Katherine.
Love Claudie
