It's time again for Blue Monday over at Smiling Sally's. Can't wait to see all the pretty blue items that our friends have to show.Today I have a few different items to show you, the first is an
Italian Rooster Pitcher I bought about 9 yrs ago when I first remodeled my Kitchen, it was a pitcher and it was made like a chicken...what more could I ask for, and oh yes it was blue...perfect. 
Next is a Hall's Tea Pot that I bought about 8 years ago off of EBay, I love the way the little hook on the top helps keep the lid in place.
Now these little cuties, I recieved when DH's Aunt died, she had lived in DH Mother's house after MIL passed in 1988, untill she passed away 10 yrs later in 1998. When we cleaned her stuff out of the house nobody wanted any of it, her son and GD said just take it to the dump, nothing worth keeping...really, there was no way I was dumping all of her lifes memories in the city dump. I just loved the little pig cookie jar. I think she had gotten it at a yard sale, she loved yard sales...she was a lady after my own heart,..lol..anyhow when you lifted the piggies head to get a cookie it would, snort at you..lol..and make piggie noises. The other one I have no clues as to where or when she got it. It is a smaller cookie jar and it seperates at the waist. I know she had owned it for years, I remember it at her old house when DH and I first Married in 1961. So I know it's old. It looks like a mouse dressed up in farmer's overalls holding a shovel. And he is wearing a blue shirt. So he fits in today...

This next item is a nice size Soup or Stew bowl with lid and spoon. I found this a couple of months ago at the OutReach Ministries in Brookhaven for $2.25. I just thought it was so neat. It looks like some one made it, but it is glazed on the inside real well and will come in handy when I serve my homemade veggie soup.
Well that's it for todays Blue Monday, I hope you enjoyed my offering and will come back to see me.

ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday sweetie....love those old cookie jars! I hope your tooth is a quick & easy fix..tell him you'll pay him a dollar down and a dollar a week til Christmas! lol Surely he doesn't expect you to put a panty on your head and go rob the local 7-11! lol lol
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty blue things you have. I'm so enjoying visiting all the blue Monday posts. Good luck with the tooth. I went through about the same thing last year, such a pain but well worth it when you get it all done.
