Cottage blues...

I can't tell you exactly how long ago it began,

but for decades I've had a love for blue and white china.

It has a special place in my heart because it always looks fresh and bright and is so cheerful and pleasing to the eye.

I thought I'd share a few of my everyday pieces that I use to set a cheery table.

Some are just very inexpensive thrift shop finds while others are sentimental and precious gifts or have some antique value - they all make me smile and feel happy and that's what matters most to me.



This antique platter is big favourite of mine.

I found it in a second-hand shop and fell in love with it!

Just like me.. it has seen better days and is a bit crazed and cracked, lol!

I don't mind a bit. I'm not worried about it's imperfections, I just see it's beauty.

But it is rather huge!

And not very easy to store away due to it's great size, so I keep it out on a table where I get to enjoy it's pretty and pleasant company every day.
