Too Much Blue and White, Never!!



Hello Again from The French Hen's Nest,

 

 It seems that I am drawn to blue and white, blue and white trinket
boxes, blue and white bedding, blue and white pillows, and blue and white china, blue and white everything!

   I haven't bought too much lately, but what I have bought has been blue and white.  


I found this blue and white trinket box at a thrift store, which is very unusual, I just happen to be there at the right time.  I have a collection of blue and white trinket boxes, so when I happen upon one I grab it.


 

This is  a nice addition to my collection.




    I also found an antique cake plate, and a platter.  I just couldn't pass these up, they are both so pretty, with tiny gold flowers around the edges.  Both are imperial china, with Celi Ornate on the back. The platter looks like flow blue.  They will be pretty hanging on the wall. I don't know much about them, if you have any information about the cake plate or platter, I would really appreciate it.




Big Platter


   My son called me last week and said that he had found two iron bistro chairs that looked new, and that he would bring them to my house.  He is an Eames, Wakefield, kind of guy, so they wouldn't interest him, but how sweet of him to think about me.  And I love them, they are wrought iron, with a blue and white medallions on the backs.


 

   They will look great with my wood, and wrought iron table.


  And last, but not least, I bought a Chinese jar.  I have a collection of blue and white jars.  This one is different,  and a nice addition to my collection.




New addition, the perfect blue

    Well, that is it for the blue and white right now, but it is an on going story in my home, and there will be much more to come.

Hope you have a blue and white kind of day!

Till Nest Time, 


Jeannie
