Blue

It has been a gray and rainy day in which I have been at the beck and call of contractors, repairmen, and service contractors.

It seemed like the perfect day for a little camera play so I thought I'd participate in Mater's meme.

1. Simple it may be, and inexpensive too, but this bit of blue brightens my spirits almost every day.

2.  A small carafe with matching cups from Israel.  A wedding gift from G's cousin.

3.  A Venetian vase.

4.  A large bowl made of many pieces of glass fused together.  I love the play of this against the soft ornate bowl with the butterfly on the same table.  Hard and soft.

5.  No discussion of blue can be complete without mentioning the blue behemoth outside the windows.  In his winter blue coat he rises and billows with winds, showing a completely different face than the summers calm cool waters.  Not lovely, but always present.

    I love that you’ve included the everyday practical along with the more refined, on-the-shelf treasures. I’d get joy out of a colander like that as well. Mine’s a 35-year old Tupperware in that 70’s washed-out-mint colour.
    I’ve linked to you — thanks for playing!
