Today are you feeling BLUE? Hope it's the kind you can share on Blue Monday with Sally @ Smiling Sally's.
The next picture is of a couple of blue pillows I just made to set on the wicker couch in the sunroom.
The next little item is of a blue glass violin. My husband was in 6th grade when he won this at his grade school carnival. He was 11 years old and he was playing a game against his school principal, Mrs. Espenlaub. My husand wanted it for his mother. He won. His mom gave this to him a few years ago when she was 97. She passed away a year later. It matches the blue in our sunroom, sits on a little antique corner shelf.
That's all the BLUE I have for today. Have a wonderful week.

Oh, Ann! Those are lovely! They'd be great in my kitchen,wouldn't they?I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for some delft.
I love your pretty blue! Maybe enjoying this post will bring me some blue sky today. We woke up to gray clouds and snow. Again. Maybe I will drink some hot tea from a blue mug. Have a great week!
Hi Ann, How wonderful to have that blue glass violin after all these years. I love the pillows that you made and the delph cheese set. How fun could it have been to travel in Europe with family for 22 days. Lucky you!...Christine
Hi Ann!
Oh that delft cheese set is wonderful!! I would love to visit Holland! We have a "mini version" here in Michigan. LOL Holland, Michigan has a wonderful tulip festival every year with wooden shoe dancers and all kinds of fun activities. It also has the oldest working real Dutch windmill. The windmill is about 250 years old. It's a wonderful town and is even ranked 2nd happiest and healthiest city to live in (in the US).
I enjoyed seeing the blues, Ann. Your cheese set must bring back happy memories. I love those pillows. But that blue violin is a true treasure! Happy Blue Monday.
All those are lovely, the cheese serving tray and utensils especially. Happy Blue Monday.
Mine is here.
Love your blue pillows!!
Thanks for coming by.
One vote for nesty things. =)

Beautiful! Yes, my fave is the blue glass violin too. We have a Blue Monday every Monday at the Bristol Blue Glass Factory in the UK. Sweltering hot, yet always Blue!
Such pretty blue treasures! I love the story about the violin!

Love the blue violin, or as I would called it...a fiddle.
Sweet story that little blue treasure hold. Please write it on a scrap of paper and puck inside or tape to the back.
As I wander through vintage, antique things I know they all have a story to tell, but if we could just write them down and attach it might enrich the next person that comes to own the piece.
Passing on the blessings ;-)
Hi Ann
