Happy Monday! Never made it to Target…I figured it was going to be a madhouse and I try to stay away from shopping in general over the weekend, so just as well. The only two people I know that saw the Calypso Collection seemed a bit underwhelmed so doesn’t seemed like I missed much. Anyone else check it out? Moving along……who has a thing for blue and white china? Surely I know there are lots of you out there that like me, love the look of blue and white and what it does to a room. Just add a blue and white jar here, a plate or garden seat or vase there to a room  and voila instant glamour, pizazz and sophistication are added! No doubt about it……they work just about anywhere, in any room of any color of any style. <\/center>
They are considered by most designers to be staples, items that never ever seem to go out of style. Classic, timeless, stylish. That’s how I sum up the use of blue and white pottery, and china. They come in the form of vases, jars, with tops, open faced, with lids and without, garden seats, big bowls, huge planters,plates I could go on, they can be found very inexpensively so you get a lot of look for the money. Today I salute the almighty blue and white jar, plate, bowl and such…..what do you think? Used alone as a single standout piece or grouped together as a collection…blue and white makes an impact on a room, there is no denying. So, I have put together what I think is a fairly impressive little collection of beautiful spaces that make a pretty beautiful argument for blue and white! Would love to know! Do you have a secret or tip on how you like to use blue and white? Do tell!<\/center><\/p>\n
