I'v still got the Blues

I use to have a country blue kitchen as I said before and here is a few more items I have kept packed away,

First I want to show you this Longaberger purse I had my granitware painted on the top of the purse. I took it to a local artist and a few of my pieces also a picture of the old stove and ring down wooden telephone. I think I gave the phone to one of my sisters and if I remember correctly it's in her attic now. Anyway Ms Hunt did a very good job I thought I had forgot I had this wooden purse till I was still moving and rearranging this in the storage room.

                                                                              
                                            

I sold all of the items  in the picture at auction except for what I showed on my last post. My country kitchen was all oak furniture and blue crock bowls and granitware.
                                                       
Then I had to have a little lunch. after church I went out to breakfast with a couple of my church lady friends anyway had a nice large breakfast so went light at lunch about 3pm.

Supper I broke down ---------------------had a very large bowl of Eddy's vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup on it   -----------------oh it was good LOL
I am trying to eat healthy  and sweets only once a week

I have had a  lot better mozzarella cheese however this is all the little  store had that I stopped at. the fresh basil is out of my herb garden. I bought the tomato at a farmers market today one small tomato $2.50 please.

                                                                   
 
I don't know why I carried all this outside other than I think things look so pretty outside on a table . My car thermometer   said 101 when I went to get my ice cream

                                                  
anyway back to my blue I have always wanted anything blue and bought this flow blue pitcher years ago with the wash bowl . I use it now for flowers.
I bought it from a lady named Mildred White from Symsonia Kentucky she always went to Belleville Illinois and set up at the flea market at the fair grounds. One year a dealer had all Flo blue items and when I seen these at her shop just had to have a set. I paid $85.00 for the set back in the day

       I like my old wheel barrel because it is light weight. I have been given 2 new ones from Lowe's but they were so heavy , all I do is empty put potting soil and mulch in mine .                                                                                                                             

                                                             

  I always loved this blue crock pitcher       

my coin spot glass holds some flowers from my garden. I always wanted a complete set of these glasses and still only have one

this is a page out of Claude Monet's cook book he also loved his food besides being a famous painter. The cookbook tells a lot about his family life also its a good read  with family pictures.What caught my eye was all the blue & white china through out the book.
the handle is off of another food grinder I have plus the different attachments

                                                        
  I think this is the last of the country items I have statashed away , guess you can't take the country out of the girl

I had another yard sale Saturday and my new found friend neighbor Peggy came up. She is the one who reads my blog and couldn't believe it when I offered her one of my cards with my blog name on it and discovered  she had read my  blog.  she alwyas buys my vintage items .  We both were thrilled when we discoved this.
This sale she bought 2 white  cotton pull over full slips.    They were for sure 1950's . I use one for a nightgown.

I also sold one of my altered art necklaces to a young lady. I had to take some links out to make it fit her neck better. It was a choker necklace made out  of 2 enamel rhinestone earings and copper roses from another nechklace put together as a chocker.
