Christmas Blues

This post is all about the color blue. 
I hope everyone likes the color blue or this post could make you feel blue.

These are some pictures that have a Christmas look to them.

This is a shelf in my Hoosier with some winter looking Pyrex and some kneehugger elves.  The split serving Pyrex dishes are in the snowflake pattern.

I found this lovely blue velvet gown at a local second hand store.
Both brooches are unsigned pieces I've added to my collection.

These finds are of mid modern glasses, a double sided pouring gravy bowl and blue glass canning jars all are second hand store finds.

The abstract picture was one of those surprise pictures that I got taking another shot.  I liked how it turned out so I decided to add it into this post.

The Christmas Blues

The jingle bells are jingling

The streets are white with snow

The happy crowds are mingling

But there's no one that I know



I'm sure that you'll forgive me

If I don't enthuse

I guess I've got the Christmas blues

I've done my window shopping

There's not a store I've missed

But what's the use of stopping

When there's no one on your list

You'll know the way I'm feeling

When you love and you lose

I guess I've got the Christmas blues

When somebody wants you

Somebody needs you

Christmas is a joy of joy

But friends, when you're lonely

You'll find that it's only

A thing for little girls and little boys

May all your days be merry

Your seasons full of cheer

But till it's January

I'll just go and disappear

Old Santa may have brought you

Some stars for your shoes

But Santa only brought me the blues

Those brightly packaged

Tinsel covered Christmas blues

A Mix Bag Of Finds And The Garden

The following finds have been found over the last few months and I'm finally getting around to posting them.

This is the first paperweight I've found with a person in it.  This child is cute which made me decide to add it to my collection.

This pink enamel flower brooch was a Kamloops, British Columbia find.  It's bright and stands out how could I leave it behind.

This picture is of my boyfriend watering the garden.  I came out the front door this is what I saw so I had to go get my camera to document this moment.

This collage is of our vegetable garden redo.  It's not finished but I know this is how far we're going to get this year.  These pictures are the before, during and after pictures of the project so far.

Since canning season is in full swing I thought I would post these clear and blue canning jars.  I also picked up the apron not long ago at a secondhand store.  The white bowl holding the light blue canning jar is Pyrex.

This white Pyrex bowl is in the above picture I thought it deserved a closer look.  The Pyrex lid it's sitting on has nothing to do with the bowl.
