Hello, Dear Ones! Yep, that's right! I'm turning Blue. Now it's not because I'm too cold or have been holding my breath too long. It's because I've been bringing Blue into my kitchen.
I really love to decorate my deep corners in the kitchen as I can poke so much stuff there. You see? Blue.
Since I'm in my Blue Willowness mode, I just had to poke in my oil and vinegar jars. See the little black dot on the oil jar? It's a dot of paint and it's not going any where. Believe me, I've scrubbed and scrubbed until I really was Blue in the face but it did not budge!
This is an olden butter tub, I think that's what it is. I just love the scenes on Blue Willow dishes don't you?
If you visit me often, you know I love the yard birds ~ Roosters and Hens. Here is a darling little Blue hen candy dish sitting on a tiny glass stand. She looks so Blue, doesn't she? :) I just amaze myself sometimes.
Here's my other deep kitchen corner that I poked in some more Blue.
Darling little ole Blue Rooster just looking as cute as a Blue button!
See my Blue bowl filled with Blue tea towels? Oh, my goodness! I do believe I should have ironed that front Blue tea towel as I see a wrinkle! A Blue wrinkle at that!
I'm on the lookout for some more olden dough rollers. The first one with the green handle belonged to my grandmother and she called this her 'rollin' pin'! ;) The one with the red handle came from a Thrift shop.
Schooching over a little on the counter top is another little vignette filled with Blueness. I've poked down a cake stand and tossed a doily on it ~ this reminded me of pie crust dough falling over the side of a pie pan! I'm kinda crumbly like that, you know! ;) I have poked some salt and pepper shakers here by Spode, but I don't remember the pattern.
This pretty Blue and white gravy boat and underplate was a give away I won from Cass at That Old House a couple of years ago. She's so pretty and sporting a hydrangea awaiting Spring. She is such a cheerful Blue one! :)
Well, I just wanted to show you one more little vignette here in the kitchen!
I truly love love this olden vintage spice set with all of the little Roosters on the jars. Can you really love love little olden vintage spice sets with little Roosters on the jars, you may ask? Well, you bet your cockadoodledoos you can! ;)
I still have some Blueness to show you...little Blue and white napkin rings poked under a cupcake cloche sitting atop a Fostoria stemmed base. Isn't this sweet? Blue sweetness!
What? Something is just not right here! That little olden vintage spice jar is not supposed to be laying down on it's side on my countertop! No, no Nannatte!
Something is just not right! I believe I've said that before. No, no Nannette! I've said that already too, haven't I?
That little stinker! Do you see what this tiny little Rooster has done? He kicked out the spice jar and then he hopped in the opening. Well, he is really a handsome little thing, isn't he, and he has no Blue on at all! He's such a little ham. I have to tell you that this little tiny Rooster and Hen were given to me by Ceekay from Thinking of Home. Aren't bloggers the most sweetest Blue ones ever?

I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
Am I Blue
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ain't these tears in my eyes tellin' you
Am I blue
You would be too
If your plans with your man
Done fell through
There was a time
I was the only one
And now I'm the sad and lonely one, lonely, lonely
Was I gay, until today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Oh, you know I'm blue
Oh, you make me, make me so blue
Ain't these tears in my eyes tellin' you
Oh, you makin' me so blue
You know, you know, know you do
Now my plans with my man
They done fell through
There was a time
That I was his only one
And now I'm the sad and lonely one, lonely
Was I gay, until today
But now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Am I blue
Ain't these tears in my eyes tellin' you
Am I blue
You would be too
If your plans with your man
Done fell through
There was a time
I was the only one
And now I'm the sad and lonely one, lonely, lonely
Was I gay, until today
Now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
Oh, you know I'm blue
Oh, you make me, make me so blue
Ain't these tears in my eyes tellin' you
Oh, you makin' me so blue
You know, you know, know you do
Now my plans with my man
They done fell through
There was a time
That I was his only one
And now I'm the sad and lonely one, lonely
Was I gay, until today
But now he's gone and we're through
Am I blue
~ sung by Ella Fitzgerald
I love when you go deep into those kitchen corners with such pretty things! I feel myself going into blue mode......which means I'd have to paint, new window treatments, no no Nanette, I have to be good. I will just enjoy your beautiful blueness. :) xo
ReplyDeleteI sooo love all of your blueness, but that isn't a surprise coming from me. You've got some great pieces.
ReplyDelete- The Tablescaper
Cute blue vignettes and I am glad you really aren't blue. That is a cute spice keeper.
ReplyDeleteJust love all your blue vignettes! Blue Willow is one of my favorites. You deep corners are a great place to display such great pieces. Susie
ReplyDeleteShelia all your blue looks beautiful!! Love that first vignette and the pretty one you created on top of that cake stand.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI love all the blue accents that you've added. I have a lot of blue in my kitchen as well. Blue is coming back big time! The model homes around here all have it in the walls even.
I also have that same little rooster but his hen looks a tad different AND there are three little roos to go along.
xoxo Bunny Jean

Your shades & textures are just wonderful...loved seeing them all gathered together, Shelia.
Hugs,
Rett
Blue Willow is one of my favorite dish patterns and the vignettes you've created with it are just lovely. I especially love your blue glass chicken as my grandmother had a clear glass one and I always admired it. I also love your old rolling pins in the bowl. It all looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe vignettes are cute and so eye catching. Love the little guy from Ceekay. As ususal, a post that makes me smile big - thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh how I love this Shelia! Did you know that my favorite color is blue.. some people always see blue as cold, dark, and lonely...but you have proven that blue is not after all a lonely color.. It looked so elegant and homey :)
ReplyDeleteThe tiny chickens are SO sweet! A classic kitchen always has a littl eblue in it SOMEWHERE! andrea@townandprairie
ReplyDeleteWhy you talented little poker you! :)
ReplyDeleteI call my mama's rollin' pin a rollin' pin! I thought that's what everybody called 'em! ♥
Beautiful blues, but oh how I love the rooster spice set. Dang birds causing trouble!
ReplyDeleteI love your corners! The blue is just right, so beautiful. You have some mighty cute roos, even though the one has done a no-no. I don't know how you come up with such awesome vignettes, but keep it up - I enjoy the beauty and the fun. Hugs ~ Mary
ReplyDeleteThose are mighty pretty blue corners Ms Sheila.. It looks great.
ReplyDeleteShelia, all of your blue is so pretty. I love your vignettes, they are just wonderful. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteI don't remember where I heard it, but supposedly blue is the upcoming color inside for 2012....of course, I had it in the 90's....and don't have much anymore! That is how it goes here at my home!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Shelia! You know I love roosters and blue and white plates...so frenchy! Happy Sunday!...hugs...Debbie
ReplyDeleteLove all that blue and white! It's so classic. I used to have blue and white in my kitchen and really loved it. You've got a nice collection of those dishes too.
ReplyDeleteI'm "blue" too! It's a color I'm attracted to! Love your Blue kitchen vignettes.
ReplyDeletedeb
Shelia, Your blue-ness is going to be contagious, I know.... My own blue plates will be making another appearance in my kitchen hutch soon. I just love them there! Your blue willow corner is lovely, with that blue hen dish accenting it all.
ReplyDeleteI can remember my grandmother having that old spice set! Sheesh, I wonder what ever happened to all of her tschotskies? Her "stuff" always amazed me when I was little. Maybe that's where I got my collecting gene. LOL
hugs, Sue
You made my heart sing Sheila with all this blueness!
ReplyDeleteBlue and white has always been my fave and you have it sooo good!
Love your collections!
Hugs,
Cindy
Super vignettes, and I really like the oil and vinegar cruet set. Too cute! And I really, really like the rooster spice drawers.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia,
ReplyDeleteI just love all this blue and white everyone is doing in January! Your vignettes are lovely. My everyday dishes are blue and white Churchill, and I never seem to tire of them. Wish I could find some napkin rings like yours. I think the gravy boat and saucer with the hydrangea looks especially sweet.
I, too, like roosters, although I don't buy them anymore, as I feel like I have enough of them. Yours look really cheerful. Thanks for sharing and Happy Seasonal Sunday!
Denise
Oh...I love that spice cabinet! And your little blue glass hen is darling! I love blue anywhere but it really looks fabulous in your pretty kitchen!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Hi Sheila....Love Blue Willow...and the way you decorate. You tell a story when you do it and you bring those little porcelain pieces to life! Now I am wondering if you shouldn't be writing childrens books? Beautiful as always and I have missed singing the songs to myself at the end of your posts. I love Ella...thanks for being you my friend.:):)
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI love your cheerful and fun vignettes.
Happy New Year! La
Love all the blue. Your vignettes are so pretty and fun! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteThe blue and white looks so fresh Sheila!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blue "stuff" but don't ever get rid of your red in your kitchen! I love your Grandmother's green rolling pin too, very special.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Gloria
I love your sense of humor! You don't sound blue today, not in the least!
ReplyDeleteI adore blue willow, but I don't use blue in my decor. I used for ten years and by then I was so tired of it.
But I adore all of your pretty blue kitchen items, they are all very sweet.
Have a wonderful evening.
Love and hugs, Cindy
Love love all of your blue and white...so pretty in all the nooks of your home...thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteToo cute...all that blue in your kitchen. I adore all the vignettes you've created in your kitchen! Seems my kitchen is usually the first place I start, too, when I've time to make changes in my home decor! Think it makes me feel close to my MoMa and Grandmother, somehow! The heart of the home...yours is lovely, dear friend!
Fondly,
Pat
Shelia,
ReplyDeleteAll your blue corners look wonderful! I especially like the gravy boat from Cass's!
