Bits Of Blue In My Kitchen

Happy Mosaic Monday and Blue Monday!

My kitchen and the rest of my home is basically a neutral pallet of white and beige. I can pretty easily change accessories to go with the different season's and holiday's. But most of the time I add beachy colors of blue, my favorite color.

Show And Tell Friday

My dear ol' Grandma is the person responsible for teaching me the love of yard sales and thrift stores and antiques. She was an antiques dealer. This is one of the treasures which I inherited from her. It's a very vintage Christmas pin and it reminds me of her every year.

Have A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

I know that it's Christmas Eve, however, I've already posted 3 Christmas tablescapes and I'm clean out of Christmas table decor. So, I'm going to jump the gun and post a New Years Eve tablescape instead.

My Biggest Nativity

I was really into crafting one year and kind of got carried away.....

I even did the sawing and sanding, actually, it was fun.

It's A Wonderful Life

We love this movie and watch it every Christmas. My husband found the book at a yard sale for .50 cents, it was a "wonderful" bargain!

Holiday Touches Of Blue

One of my favorite nativity ornaments, too heavy though for the tree, plus a soft hanging pillow sign from the 99 Cent Store....

Another favorite nativity plus blue glittery goodness.........

and the blue glitter bird of happiness.......

Adorable snowflake cookie cutters-75 cents from a yard sale last Saturday.I turned a cute little blue gift bag into a candy cane holder by slipping a glass inside the bag.

Show And Tell Friday

I love fresh flowers, but sometimes I like to come up with a much simpler, frugal arrangement.

It doesn't take much, a mix of old and new. A vintage bowl on top of a modern cake stand.....

some bells from my stash of Christmas decorations...........

a pine cone and just a few clippings from the yard.
