     This morning my ‘blue’ thoughts went to containers.  Thank goodness for Pier I and Ross Dress for Less. 

    Please visit Smiling Sally for other blue ideas on this wonderful Blue Monday and go to Little Red House for more Monday mosaics.

Before I moved here, my kitchen was all white with cobalt blue. Your containers would have looked wonderful in there. I still have some of my blue pieces, but got rid of a lot.

My grandmotehr had the canister set .
I wanted it so badly but it went to another cousin.
I was blessed to recieve the sweet little teapot that matches the set so I really can't complain.
I just love all the blue and white photos .
Thank you so much for sharing today.
Have a wonderful rest of the week.
Blessings of joy to you .
Happy Trails

Laura, I love those two stores, too! I have just been praising Ross to my SIL because I have two wonderful vases (I got for about $12 each) that we're going to use as the centerpiece vases for a party for my MIL. They are going to be perfect. I was racking my brain and pulling everything out of every closet, and then I turned around... and there they sat, waiting! I'm doing the happy dance now. :-)

I missed Blue Monday last week, but am back this time. I was trying to hit a select few from last week, and I'm glad I stopped by to ogle your blue pieces from Pier I and Ross. Great finds!

XO,

Sheila :-)
