This vintage blue thingy... a frosted blue candle holder... It was quite expensive... neither junk nor thrift.. thus it was left for another lover of blue...
I just love this Fenton Blue Crested vase... Pretty milkglass vase trimmed in clear blue glass... just beautiful... you might also notice a bit of blue transferware in the background... not by accident I might add...
This wonderful blue rooster cookie jar was one of my favorite finds... the price was right, but alas... his pretty blue tail had broken off and then poorly repaired... I'm not one that refuses to buy an item repaired... I'm just a little picky about the quality of the repair job...
I really love the pretty blue and white bell in the photo too... so delicate and pretty... Just for you Sally...
So Sally... when you're ready to come visit Texas... us Texas gals will take you out for one of our favorite margaritas... at our favorite TexMex food spot... with plenty of blue... just for you...
and that's a promise from Down Here in French Lique...
Dixie, great blues! That is a shame about that wonderful rooster cookie jar! Oh, that Fenton vase-gorgeous! Love your cute book at the end of the post. laurie
ReplyDeleteVery pretty blues. Love the rooster cookie jar but such a bad repair job. That Fenton vase is beautiful..I've never seen one like that.
ReplyDeleteyes i can see you all...sipping the beverages and dancing the night away in TX!
ReplyDeleteLOL

I do the same things. Always looking for blues. You found some very good ones.
ReplyDeleteHi Dixie
ReplyDeleteI love all your blues especially that rooster. To bad it had a bad repair job on it! I collect Rooster anything!
Happy Blue Monday...

Al a lovely blue but the rooster wins hands down!
ReplyDeletemy favourite is the blue edged vase!
ReplyDeleteDixie, what a great idea for a post. I enjoyed browsing through the junk shop with you, and my favorite treasure was the elegant bell.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a happy Blue Monday!
You found a bunch of blues, but everyone seems to go for that rooster with the badly repaired tail. I'm like you; I'm picky too. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteYou found alot of blue items i love the candle holder thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletehappy blue monday
I don't have a lot of blue in my house either, but I love the items you took pictures of. I need to branch out a little and add in some blue.

Lots of cute blue stuff. The candle holder is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!

I don't have blue in my house either...or pink, so I don't play along. I love blue...and I've had it in other houses...but, I went completely different with this house. You found some interesting things!
ReplyDeleteSue

Love all your blues...would have been hard to leave them behind...especially the milk glass piece.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
I love that candlestick, but I am a sucker for Fostoria which I think that it might be.
ReplyDeletePrecious and Roxy are too cute.
Very beautiful blues !I think I like the Fenton vase the best .
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Hey Dixie,
ReplyDeleteThat's some fancy-smansy blue stuff you are showing us today.
Pretty though.
I am not too much into blue, but I sure like to look at it.
Thanks for the lovely post.
hugs
Sissie
Those were some beautiful finds Dixie. How nice of you to think of Sally and get pics even though you didn't buy them.
ReplyDeleteThrifing vs. junking...hmm...I'd say junking finds are always thrifty but thrifting finds aren't always junky...that should clear things up...maybe.
Hugs,
Dawn
Glad I caught you before ya left so you could have the perfect cupcake topper.
ReplyDeleteWe went to New Braunfels today for music. Nasty cold weather...I am so ready for Spring. But good weather for hanging out in an Antique mall, hope business is picking up a bit.
Be safe out and about...
Just said a prayer for baby girl's safety. I am going to have to get out in our cold rain today...gonna warm up the retired teachers with some hula ;-)
ReplyDeleteAloha!
Dixie, those are some lovely blues! That Fenton glass vase reminds me of one Mama had that had pink around the edge. I gave it to one of my best friends because she had been so faithful about praying for my mother during her life.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your family and friends who are visiting!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Pretty blues, Dixie..
