Punch needle patterns flow blue & stoneware

A person can never have too much blue.
I'm not sure when my love for blue began.
Had to be the delivery room doctor's periwinkle blue scrubs?
(giggle)
Not one of our walls are painted blue.
Our furniture is not blue.
Curtains are not blue.
Cars are not blue.
If we walk through an antique show, thrift shop... auction...
Old blue treasures glow beautiful!
(Some pieces even hop into open arms!)
I'm not the only one to bring broken, singles, mismatched blue home~
Hubby and Alaina have made sure to spoil my heart
with rare pieces. 
I treasure every chip, crack & crazing~
It keeps them in my price range!


Chickadees and buttercups~ Spring is just around the corner!
It will be nice to have the windows open again... 



Gathered my first salt glazed stoneware piece while in college.
Mumford, NY is the home of Genesee Country Village & Flint Hill Pottery.
The pottery shop is always a favorite in the village~ watching the artisans.
We have gathered a few pieces through the years... small scale masterpieces!


Hope your week is off to a great start!
I don't think we are expecting any winter storms...
Tomorrow is expected to be balmy!
Always a sweet tease that spring is just around the corner~

Thank you for stopping by~
