Happy Monday and it is a blue one! Smiling Sally hosts this weekly event where participants add their links to show the “blues” they are contributing to the party. Click on the picture of the bird above to view the complete list. It’s a lot of fun!
I am showing this little bird couple in blue crackle finish. They are so sweet together :)
You can see their light blue color much better in this picture. I had to use the flash as it’s a rainy day and I can’t get good natural light, even by the window.
And here is my ceramic rain boot planter in soft blue. I had been seeing these boot planters around at different places; all different colors but I decided to buy when I found this color. I hope to plant some trailing petunias in this boot; some pink or red would be pretty. The annuals should start showing up in the stores and nurseries by Mother’s Day.
This last blue I am showing is this hand painted spoon rest from Poland. Polish dishes have a lot of blue paint used on them. It is a deep cobalt blue; very rich. I have some other pieces of Polish pottery; all with blue and lots of brown. I like how this piece has green and a bit of yellow; works better with the springier pattern.
I wish you all a happy Blue Monday and a happier week ahead!

Lovely photos! I love those soft, pale blues! Happy blue monday :D
So sorry to hear about Homer. Brings tears to my eyes as I think about my dog Toni whom I had from the time I was 2 until I was 17. We finally had to put her to sleep due to kidney failure and it was the hardest thing ever. I still think of her to this day and she's been gone 27 years. Love all your pretty blues today. Have a great week! :) Tammy
Very adorable photos!
I love that little birdie! So sweet!
Don't you just love the deep blue color in the Polish pottery! Although I don't own any of my own, I've always been a fan.
Pretty blues!! I love the birds and Polish Pottery is a big thing here since a lot of Polish immigrants settled in this area. My grandparents were also from Poland!

I like all three photos, Cindy. Those birds are sweet, and I can see why you bought that cute boot. I love the cobalt blue of the Polish pottery. Happy Blue Monday.
Lovely blues. The little blue boot is the cutest thing.

Your blue ceramics are so pretty. the boot would look lovely on a deck with flowers trailing out. The bird is really special too.
Cindy, I just wanted to thank you so much for your kind words on my blog about the loss of our kitty. I read your post about losing Homer, and of course it had me bawling all over again! My condolences to you and your family as well.
