Unusual Blues

 To celebrate Blue Monday I'm sharing this

 old Tom Thumb Typewriter I found on vacation.

 Love this turquoise blue color.

 and the little keys, with letters and numbers on them.

 Blue bowl, and see the blue pot holders and doilies??

One is a little crochet blue dress pot holder.

adorable.

 Remember when thread cost 15 cents? Seems like yesterday.

 

not sure why I love these, but I do,

and this one is blue.

Some fun little ideas coming for these

on Tool Time Tuesday!!

Blessings

Please join Sally and the other gals for

Blue Monday, and This & That

 Blue Monday brought to you by Smiling Sally.

This is a small hand stitched table cloth.......

 that has a small pocket on each side, with a cute little napkin in it. sweet???

 and this is a vintage pillow top. Hand stitched also.

This is not part of my blue..... just some Rustic Stuff from the shop.

 What is it??

 Looks like a lizard tongue.

 I have some of these wood shoe things at the store,

but have never seen one with this metal screw thing before.

Anyone know how it works or what it is for? thanks

 

If you love blue go on over.

 

Thanks for hosting Sally.

blessings all and have a great week.

Yellow and Blue and What to do

Happy Yellow and Blue Monday.
Here is some not so mellow yellow for you.
It is a page out of a very old Good Housekeeping.
(and see the blue down in the corner?)

And here is a little blue vignette.
see that ball on the right?
Here is a close up.
Maybe made of wood. Not sure.
But very cool.
It is larger than a croquet ball.
Anyone know what it is?


And please tell me what candlewick yarn is.
It sounds familiar, but cannot remember what it is.

This is Jan.
She came to have Tea & Treats with her friends
Linda, (on left) and Marilyn, for her birthday.
Very fun!!
I'm seein' some blues and yellows in these pictures, too.

OK. Here is my "What to do".
I got a whole box of these watch crystals, bands, etc.
I have too many projects, and no inspiration for these.
So.....
WATCHES ARE GONE. THANKS!!
Anyone have some inspiring pictures?
or, I will just let you have them for
shipping costs + $1.00 to drive to P.O.
There are bout 60 here in this picture.
Flat rate box is $5.00. That is only .10 a piece.
Let me know if interested.
I'm guessing there are bout 200 all together.
Not sure how many will fit in those flat rate boxes.
The more you get in there, the cheaper they will be.

Hope someone is inspired to do something with them

blessings on you Monday.

Please go visit these other great bloggers today.

BLUE MONDAY


Smilin' Sally's
Go on over to 's
and meet all the other participants.
Thanks for hosting Sally!!



How about a blue vintage apron??
(soon to be at my blog shop
along with some other vintage aprons).



Or this old Watkins cook book.
It is in perfect shape!!


Forgot to write down date. oops!




And does bluish green count??
I love this color and just happened
to find 3 or 4 pieces with it.
Love this little tray at the shop.
(I mean our real shop here in town.)
( Someone asked about the 'thing' in the white square dish.
Any guesses???
Of course! It is a bird nest, or part of one my brother gave me.)
Good guesses. =0)

OK, how do i differentiate between them
here in blog land.
Is one a 'real' store?
Does that make the other one a
'pretend' store?

OK from now on the 'store'
is our building here in Eugene,
and my online shop will be my blog shop.
Thanks Allison. Great idea!!


Hope you enjoyed my blue today.

Blessings and have a happy blue Monday.
