Vaguely blue..........(no, not me!)

It's my turn to 'do' the window in the shop next week, and I thought I'd do a vaguely blue theme - so I've been collecting together blue china, glassware, etc. And today I found some more pieces, like this funny blue pottery pig -


And his new friend, Blue Cat - (I have to say, I don't really like this, but it'll give the colour I want) -


Some pretty blue glass bowls -

 
And handpainted china -
 
I shall put my blue console table in the window, and several smaller white and grey tables -

 
Tin Horse is unusual, isn't he? -
 
 
Found this stained glass butterfly too - very pretty - it's about 8 ins high, and hinged -
 
*****************
Lots of flowers blooming in the garden -
 

 
When I water the garden, this little chap likes to be watered too - he sits on a leaf and I give him a shower! -
 



 
I've got pots of flowers all over the place -
 

 

************
Treated myself to some new shoes yesterday :) -
 
 
***************
And two gratuitous pics of Tilly - one of her at a wedding recently, looking angelic -
 
 
And one showing her cheeky side! -
 
 
Have a good week!

  2. I love the idea of the frog enjoying being sprinkled with water! The blues on the table will look lovely in the shop window:)

    1. I wish I knew - they were one of the few plants here when we came - it flowers all summer long!

  5. Maybe the frog is a prince in disguise, missing his daily ablutions? Perhaps a single friend might like to try a kiss? Lovely photos of all your flowers, and how sweet Tilly looks. Have fun creating your window display!

  6. the shop window display always looks enticing I think - really like the hinged butterfly, lovely with the light shining through the glass. Gorgeous colours in your garden too, how are your roses? Mine aren't that great this year, some looking decidedly sad and mouldy.
    Gorgeous last pic of Tilly - what a wonderful cheeky grin! x

  15. Hi--

    I hope you see this, even though your post is a few weeks old. I'm wondering if one of the items pictured in an old blog post of yours is for sale: the half-moon roses rug in this old post? http://vintage-tea-time.blogspot.com/2013/02/nothing-but-blue-skies.html?showComment=1373383005898#c2377904416279007685

    Thank you, ♥

    Val :)
