I USED TO GET THE BLUES ON MONDAY....

but, since SMILING SALLY has come into my life with her hosting of

BLUE MONDAY

I no longer am SINGIN' THE BLUES........

OOOO, Thank you, Sally, for hosting this wonderful day....

Be sure to stop by as there seems to be a lot of BLUE in the air....

I received the prettiest calendar from BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER ....

we have started a tradition of gifting each other with a lovely calendar each and every Christmas...

JANUARY says:

"But exhort one another daily, while it is called Today."

Hebrews 3:13

*I hope I can remember, each month, to share a picture and a scripture with you...

I will try !

thank you so much, SALLY girl...

this cute little SALT and PEPPER set with the precious, little tray

was given to me for my birthday....

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MARTHA, MY FRIEND...

I just love them !

You sure seem to know just what I am going to love!!

this adorable little fishin' fella and his dog is one of my favorite things...

MOM gave this to me for my 45th birthday...it had a little, tiny fishing pole at one time...

where did it go ?

I believe I HAVE shown these cute little vintage glasses before but they just needed to be looked at again!

tee hee..

I bought them for 25 cents apiece and would have bought this room full, if they had them..

I LOVE these old, vintage works of art..

and to think I grew up using glasses like these and never gave them a thought...

WHERE ARE THEY ALL ? ...I WANT 'EM BACK !

THIS blue and white SECRETARY is right at 150 to 200 years old, according to the fella, which was a friend, that I bought it from FORTY-EIGHT years ago.

It was in HIS family for over 100 years that he knew for certain....maybe longer..

i can't remember now just why he SOLD it...probably just grew tired of it and wanted

something NEW.....

OH, it is in SUCH a need for a new refinishing job...I just can not bring myself to start such a project.

I have always loved the FRENCH BLUE of the piece but....*gasp....I am growing tired of it being BLUE...I would like another, fresh color for it...at least for another 48 years !! ha

but........WHAT COLOR would be pretty ?

PLEASE SAY that I've not shown these to you before !! I just can't remember and I am not organized enuf with my postings to check it out QUICKLY....

and QUICK is what I'm all about...
*

ANYWAY....(seems i can't keep just one train of thought today)..

these were some of the very first vintage crock pieces I bought back in the 60's...

I fell in love with them and, if you look closely, they really aren't a MADE TOGETHER, MATCHED SET, but....

who cares ? NOT ME !

I love 'em so much I want to marry 'em......

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL BLUE MONDAY....love, bj
