It's Monday and time for "Blue Monday" -- come and visit
Smiling Sally and see what other Blue Monday treats she has in store.

Every one knows I love blue and white. Any and all patterns but mostly English.
I personally think that all blue and white work well together.

There is blue and white old and new on the table this morning -- and more than one maker as well -- from Spode's Blue Room (reproductions of the wonderful English transferware) to Johnson Brothers Indies to some Blue Willow (bought and brought back from England) to a wee Blue Willow cream pitcher and sugar bowl -- perfect for two.

But there is enough blue in the dishes and so placemats and napkins ARE NOT blue!

And to make this Monday even bluer -- blueberries atop the cereal!
I find it hard to pass up a piece of blue and white -- whether it is china for the table or vases or ginger jars for tabletops.
We have some blue and white that's really old but yet we have some newer pieces as well and ALL of it works well together.
I think I love blue and white because it goes with so many colors and there is something classy about transferware and oriental bowls.

I agree with you that all blue and white look good together, and yours certainly look beautiful. The blueberries really look inviting. YUM! Happy Blue Monday.

Lovely blue and white combination! Thanks for sharing and have a happy BLUE MONDAY!
love your post. I love blue and white transferware too. I'm gonna show mine soon. I think it is classic no matter what other colors are around it it always pops and looks fresh...like blueberries on cereal. xox!
I have such a fascination with blue and white also, and that's really new for me. Just so many pretty pieces and patterns. I love yours and yes, I agree, they all look so pretty together. Hugs, Marty
Beautiful blue. Great post.
Have a nice week.
I agree, white and blue look just very elegant together, be it in china or in a blanket (or almost in any place or object).
That is a lovely tablescape.
Have a happy Blue Monday,
Val
Blue and White are so pleasing to the eye. Very pretty post.

What a pleasing setting. Thanks for sharing it. I hope you will join me for Crock Pot Wednesdays at Diningwithdebbie.blogspot.com. My "blue" this week is part of a tribute to Julia Child. Hope to see you signed up with Mister Linky.
I always enjoy seeing your blue and white china. I have a limited amount of bowls that I purchased when I was living in in San Francisco. Last weekend I was in an antique store that had the most amazing assortment of blue and white dishes. Think I post the photos this week to share with you and all the other plate collectors out there in blog land.

Oh Martha, I too have a love for blue and white, but I don't quite have as many beautiful pieces as you do at Linderhof. Gorgeous display.
Your affair with blue and white is awesome. I love you dishes.

I agree that all blue/white combos go together, regardless of pattern!
