Blue and White Delights

These Two are a match Made in Heaven.

Think blue sky, white clouds. Mediterranean Sea and whitewashed Greek hilltop houses.


The oceans, sailors, and their navy blue and white striped tops. Fresh and clean, bold, always a success.
Smart, timeless as a white shirt with blue jeans.

There is an infinite variety of pattern and design, especially in old crockery and fabrics.
With china, mismatched makes it all the more charming.

Most of the older ware can't be safely washed by machine, but it's worth owning some anyway!
Like this lovely piece of BURLEIGH Ware.









Or this stunning Victorian dinner plate. These pieces have been picked up in vintage stores , garage sales and flea markets for a few dollars over many years.

More white and bluetiful.
Remember if you like this it can be collected slowly with very little cash














"Discontent with what you have and are, will direct your thoughts inward and generate depression"



Chase away the blues by  giving thanks for everything you are and have.









Simple joys like bright orange slices on a blue plate brighten a day at home or a picnic in the garden


Moroccan Dessert Oranges: Slice the oranges over a plate to catch the juice.
Make sure there is no bitter pith left on them.
Sprinkle with a little cinnamon and mint, and orange blossom water if you have some, and a smidgen of castor sugar. Chill. Eat slowly with a fork - This has a very exotic flavour that goes nicely with almonds as a finish to a Moroccan feast. Or use as an extra healthy snack.
