Blue Monday

This is my first time participating in one of the many “special” days sponsored by other bloggers. Today is Blue Monday sponsored by Smiling Sally. Right now I don’t have a camera, but I do have an image of the dinnerware I bought as part of my remodeling and redecorating that I started last year.

Laura Ashley Mayfair dinnerware

This is Laura Ashley’s Mayfair pattern in blue. It’s a wonderfully heavy stoneware that has held up for about a year with only one chip on a soup bowl. I think I might have hit it with another dish or something when it was in the sink. The pattern is no longer made but I did see the completer set and a tea pot on eBay, but I’m not really sure I need those pieces. They would be nice, but shipping is more than the price of the pieces.

I debated between getting the pink and the blue but settled on the blue – I think my son is a lot happier eating off blue plates than pink ones. There’s enough pink around my place to make me happy.

Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to truly getting involved in this community of bloggers.
