Monday Linen Days


A cute little pocket to hang in the kitchen found along the way in an antique shop a few years ago. I am not sure what it was suppose to hold, but I put small vintage cookie cutters in it. The edges have a sweet blue tatting and the design is embroidered. Maybe it was to hold teabags. What do you think?

Blue

The closest to blue I could find today in a flower.
Artificially blue!
I love the cobalt blue in this jar.
A blue wall.
Best of all a blue river (Columbia River) and sky.
There are all shades of blue.
Blue mood
Blue music, the Blues
Feeling blue
Red makes me feel happy.
White makes me feel peaceful.
Blue makes me feel at home.
Blue is a mellow color.
Put them all together and we have the colors of the USA flag.
Red, White, and Blue
How do the colors of the flag make you feel?

White

White teapots come in all shapes.
This is a tilting teapot from Germany.
White curtains blowing in an open window.

Mt. Hood on a summer day.
There is most often snow enough for skiing all year long.



A white rose is a thing of pure beauty!

Celebrating WHITE today. Oh the joys of a summer celebration. Celebrating the colors of our flag, we will celebrate with BLUE tomorrow.

Thanks for playing with me:

July is here and we are celebrating Red, White, and Blue Days.
The color Red is a vibrant, hot, happy color.
It is one that brings joy to my heart.
Enjoy the warm days of summer with Red as the beginning of a month of celebrating.
Celebrate!

Linen Monday

Posted by Picasa
There are many small tablecloths in my cupboard.
This small white tablecloth is just perfect for serving tea.
It was a gift from a friend.
The cutwork and tatted edge are so special.

Until Wednesday I am a tour guide for friends
visiting from out of state. I love showing people around our
beautiful state of Oregon. Yesterday was Mt. Hood, what a beautiful view.
Today is the Pacific Ocean, which is one of my favorite places to visit.
If you ever come to Oregon, let me know and we can visit an Oregon sight.
