Blue Monday!

It's Blue Monday time! Of course I have lots more to share with you today. Special thanks to Smiling Sally for hosting this fun event. Hop on over to her blog to see the list of participants. Edited to add: I apologize if everything went a bit wonky here for a bit. I tried out a new picture format but Photobucket's picture sizes don't correspond well with Blogger so - back to the drawing board! Flicker seems to be more compatible. I am trying to make my pictures appear larger so they are easier to see. Also - any ideas for this newbie as to how to add "click on a picture" as a feature to make them larger?

I am running late on posting today - I was hoping to get this done this morning, but life happened so here we are!

My picture above is of my kitchen dining table. I fell in love with the placemats - got them at Cost Plus World Market a few years ago. I really love my blues and yellows!

Here is another picture of our eating area - different table cloth as you can see. Even Ginger's towel on the floor under her "eating area" is blue. ~smile~

I may be asking some advice eventually about how best to hang window treatments for these windows that overlook our deck. I have blue toile fabric that I want to make some sort of valances with. Not sure what to do over the door - if anything (?)

Here's a close up of my plates. I may change them out someday. I hope to get some plates that will look more uniform up here.

Ginger wants to show you her blue item for today. This is her little bed tucked in a corner behind a chair - beside our fireplace. A nice warm little "cave" for her - she has a window view of the squirrels on our deck. It makes her feel like she is "policing" the area. After all - that's her job right?

Ginger - everybody has already seen Cranky Kitty! You've shown him before in other posts! Can you tell this is her favorite toy?

Here is a decorative knob on my cupboard doors in my kitchen. I need a few more of them - I am kicking myself for not picking up more when I found them in a cute little store in Port Townsend, Washington. When I purchase blue delft outlet covers, more knobs, and put blue and white toile curtains up - this room should look finished. I will be happy when I can call ONE room in this house done!

This is a dish that my husband got for me one year for our anniversary. He went into an antique store and picked it out himself! You would have to know my husband to understand why that is such a big deal. He NEVER steps foot into a store if he can help it. The thought that he went in and picked this out without any prompting from me made this gift extra special to me.

He knows that I love antiques and blues - a perfect choice! What a guy huh?

That is all I have time for today -I am sure I can find lots more to show you later - I seem to have an inexhaustible amount of blue in my home.

I am off to drool over your blue treasures!

Blessings,

Kymber
