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 Visit To Creekside Country Home Decor

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at Creekside Country Home Decor in Abbotsford, British Columbia.  I visited the store a couple of weeks ago when the store started putting out it's Christmas items.  The following pictures are some of the Christmas items for sale.

 

 

The white cabinet above I noticed last year and I've told my boyfriend it's a cabinet I want for the house.  I still haven't managed to get it.  So every once in awhile I visit it at the store.

The pictures above are some vintage items that are in the store I realized after I left that I had taken mostly pictures of their Christmas stock.

The above collage is of my finds at the store in the past few weeks.
I collect vintage Christmas ornaments and picked this one up at the store.
A small Pyrex refrigerator dish which is white with the pink Gooseberry pattern and the medium dish is the bottom one which looks white the pattern is on each end.
A Frosty Day is a Little Golden Book By Andrea Posner.  I know two little ones who may like this book .
A vintage white and yellow striped Pyrex bowl.
