Show us your blues ! Etsy Cottage Style that is....
This Monday kicks off the new monthly "Show us your colors" on the Etsy Cottage Style blog. The color for January is blue. Now I am not a blue person, I will opt for green over blue any time but...I can't resist a teacup or shades of turquoise, blue green, teal etc. When I saw this sweet teacup with the cottage scene on it there was no way I could pass it up, and I love that it has a little cottage inside the rim too.
The two little bags, well they are such beautiful blues AND velvet with nice long chains. Can't you see them with a bit of bling added? Mmmmmhmmmmm me too and as soon as I find the time.... :)
This blue wardrobe came from an aunt I never met. Her name was EverLee Carlisle, she was married to my Uncle Nolan, whose real name was Sidney Ozell (my family rarely called anyone by their right name) I met him once and he had the most beautiful blue eyes. In photographs you can see they were a very handsome couple. They never had children and I have a few photos and a few small treasures and this wardrobe. It was blue when I got it and I will paint it.....some day. I am a bit blue when I realize that after me, no one will remember my aunt and uncle and their last remaining memories will be gone.
Do you have some favorite blue to share?

dont paint the lovely blue cabinet. it is a testiment to those past. i have shades of blue throughout my home for my hubby with the blue eyes. i had to have me a little brad pitt to wake up too. hah! dont i wish.
this should remain a family piece. it is fabulous.
God bless, Regina
love the idea of blinging up those purses, they would look fab! Love the tea cup and saucer too. I have always been fond of those that have inner decoration, little surprises everytime you take a sip of tea. The wardrobe is wonderful! Maybe a wonderful ATC with the current image is in order, before you paint it, with some images of that Aunt and Uncle too? I feel that sadness for you, the loss of someone's memory, but at least you remember them now. And since you shared this on your blog, several more people will remember them in a way now too.
I laughed when I read that your family calls people names other than their real ones. Sounds like a line from a book.
I too am trying to get back on track. I have just been busy with other things that I have to take care of.
Thank you for the visit and your sweet comments :) I really enjoyed reading your post about blue. The tea cup is so sweet. I too like them when there's a picture inside - kind of like a little surprise.
Well, have a wonderful week!
