Blue Tablecloth Week: Day One

I'm officially declaring this week Blue Tablecloth week. Because I adore these colors. They remind of the season coming instead of the current dismal one.

Sit down. Enjoy a cookie or a cup of iced tea with me. We can look out the windows and talk about spring. Did you see the squirrels? They chase one another up and down the oak tree all day long.

There's plenty of room for everyone. Come on in. We'll pull up some more chairs if we need too.

Isn't the centerpiece pretty? My oldest son send them to me for Valentine's Day.

So take a sip of your tea and tell me something funny that happened this weekend. Or maybe a tidbit of juicy gossip...promise I won't tell. Is something bothering you? Get if off your chest. Leave it on the blue tablecloth and take home a dish of cheer instead.

While I'm sitting here chatting with you, I might just try and paint that vase of tulips. Want to join me?

  3. Very pretty! I love the colors, too...a tablecloth makes a table look so much more refined and civilized. Of course I don't have one...I don't know if we're ready for that yet...me and my little ladies...but eventually, YES!

    The tulips, gorgeous.

    EG will come paint the flowers w/you.

  12. I would definitely sit with you at that beautiful table and sip a hot cuppa! The tulips are gorgeous!

    My kitchen has the same green wall as yours and my accent colors are....blue and white! Instead of wallpaper border, I used blue and white plates hung around the top of the walls. I love those colors together! You have good taste!

I'm glad you stopped by and I look forward to your comments. As Dr. Fraser Crane would say, "Hello, I'm listening."
