When my friend Sarah began her new blog Hyacinths for the Soul, just last week, I never dreamt about the amount of trouble she would lead me into.
Through reading Sarah's blog I discovered Between Naps on the Porch and Tablescape Thursdays and today I found Smiling Sally and Blue Monday.
The blue hibiscus tree that I inherited when we bought this old house in the mid 1990's is in full bloom this month.
These great blogs are just what I needed to jump start my interest in my own blog again which has been waning, probably due to my involvement with the Quimper Club International blog.

So, since blue is one of my very favourite colours and I love to collect blue and white pottery, I decided to join in with the Blue Monday gang over at Smiling Sally's and share a few of the blue things that brighten our Normandy Life.

The first piece of Quimper faience I ever bought, I loved it because it was blue & white I had no clue at that point what "Kwimper" was!

Maggie, love the post. I've never seen or even heard of a blue hibiscus. The hibiscus is lovely, as are all the other blue treasures around the Presbytére. Happy Blue Monday, dear friend!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Blue Monday, Maggie! I love all of your blue, but particuarly your Quimper plate! Although, I must say, those vases are very tempting to a magpie. And I have never before seen a blue hibiscus. WOW! I've seen reddish orange and pink, but never blue. That's a first for me. :-)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you joined us for Blue Monday. This is a fun, relaxed group.
Here's wishing you a Happy First Blue Monday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Very pretty ceramics, love colors. Love your blog, and am going to check your friends new one as well.
