*********************************************************
Please forgive me if I show ya'll something more than once...

remember....I'm old !!

HAPPY BLUE MONDAY....

I really love PITCHERS...
well, anything with a handle makes me happy.

Notice the blue plate over there on the side? I'll tell you about them in another BLUE MONDAY post.

shhhh, don't tell the NESTER about this faux greenery..I really am going to change it out and throw this dusty thing away....soon....someday.....I WILL !!

i actually don't like it any more than she does...

i just don't know what to use in it's place....??

I have never noticed that this sweet, little ceramic, hand painted light switch cover

was missing a screw !! Wonder what happened to it? Wonder if it was EVER there?

ANYWAY....

this was my mother's and a friend painted it for her.

I have it in my dining room and sure enjoy having it....

This was Mom's, too. As you can see...she loved BLUE AND WHITE, too.

A granddaughter has her name on the bottom of this one.

I told her she could have it RIGHT NOW (I don't believe in having to wait until I am dead !) but she says she has no place for it right now..."wait until I get a home".....

Now, this teapot.....?? I have never been really sure if I even like it or not. I love teapots.....

there's just something........I don't know what...that I'm not crazy about. Too modern?

Too bold of color? Maybe it just doesn't GO with all the blues and whites?

I'll ask BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER if she likes it.....if so....it's her's !

This is a $3.00 Goodwill pitcher that I really like.

Wonder why people give things like this away?

This one is very old, belonged, once again, to my Mom.
I don't know anything at all about it except that it looks really pretty
with ROSES in it ! :O)
A great story on this LIBERTY BLUE cream and sugar set.
As most of you are aware of, I am on a SOCIAL SECURITY budget and have to spread out my spending.
I saw this set on EBAY a few years ago...under different auctions.
I bid on the sugar and won the bid. The owner emailed me and asked if I was interested in the little creamer.
I told her that due to finances, (or lack of !), I couldn't get it at that time. Maybe NEXT payday, if she still had it.
In a couple of weeks, I received this precious creamer in the mail...along with the sweetest note and she told me she wanted to give it to me as a gift.....I bawled and squalled for about 2 days and then emailed her and got her phone number. I called and thanked her from the bottom of my heart.
She was the sweetest lady!
I've had this fabulous, old crock for a long, long time. I can't even remember when or where I got it.
I love it more today than ever!
I KNOW...I KNOW.....faux greenery....what can I put in it that will look good and soften the edges of the shelf??
*********************
OH, Yes..... I wanted to show you my VEGGIE garden, small as it is, planted in a BLUE bucket! ! heh heh....
This is the first year we have tried container gardening and,

boy, we have really had some nice tomatoes.
These green ones are left, tho, and since the weather is getting cooler, I'm not sure they will ever ripen and turn that
delicious shade of RED.....
sooooo,
maybe.....just MAYBE, I can FINALLY try some of those.......
FRIED GREEN TOMATOES !!
i'm excited !!!!

and did you love this movie as much as I did?
"FRIED GREEN TOMATOES"

OMGosh....it was such a great movie. Did you recognize the music playing as the soundtrack from the movie ?

I'VE lost count of how many times I've seen this movie....and ...I just BOUGHT the DVD so I can watch it
again and again and again !
I can watch it while I eat my FRIED GREEN TOMATOES ! !

"RUTH, DON'T NEVER SAY NEVER TO ME !"
************************
oh....I LOVED IT !!

NOTE just in:

from JUDY
"I, too, loved the movie, "Fried Green Tomatoes" and had to tell you that my husband and I went to the actual cafe and town where parts of it were filmed! The cafe and "town" is located in Juliette, Georgia. We sat in the cafe and ate the best fried green tomatoes I've ever had in my life.The cafe is EXACTLY as it is in the movie. The "town" was doctored quite a bit in the movie but there are several buildings you would recognize.Go there if you ever have a chance. Worth the visit. :)"
