NOT YOUR AVERAGE BLUE and WHITE!
RECENTLY, I began to follow some beautiful home decorating and lifestyle blogs, many of which post often about their mutual affection for all things BLUE and WHITE. I cannot recall how I stumbled upon one, I believe it was via Pinterest, but it doesn’t matter. I came upon a blog entitled: “The Pink Pagoda”. Maybe you have heard of it and follow it. It led to me to other beautiful blogs as well. Long story short, they are having a BLUE and WHITE Linking Party for bloggers to share their BLUE and WHITE love, Monday, November 4th, 2013. Let me tell you, this could be a daunting task! These bloggers are serious about their BLUE and WHITE and I certainly hope I came up with some different photos from everyone else! All that was necessary to join the fun was to create a post with a BLUE and WHITE topic and voila! – another feast for the eyes.
What I found interesting in my search was the variety of styles. BLUE and WHITE in the past is what I would have termed a “Collected Look”. One very lonely piece of BLUE and WHITE porcelain will not be happy. It beckons for others to join her! I know. I just started. I’ve been around BLUE and WHITE for decades. My mother gave me a couple pieces of BLUE and WHITE porcelain when I was a newlywed (which I still have). Unfortunately I never decorated with BLUE and WHITE in any of the nine homes we’ve lived in. But now, I really, really enjoy the hunt.
So, if you have been thinking that BLUE and WHITE is not for you, please stay through the balance of the post, I’ve got some fresh suggestions for you!
As you will see in the beautiful photos below is that it has evolved and has a lovely modern take as well.
