What's It Wednesday #147
This is the time of the year for
happiness and joy, it is after all the birth of our Savior. So even though I’m
sharing some blues (and whites) I am thrilled that the holidays are here!
It started off fabulously when I
found this vintage ceramic tree at my local Salvation Army for $5.00! I was so
happy since I’ve watched one for years.
So the blue and white color started
my theme. I was able to use the pretty blue ornaments I got a year ago on sale.
I have tons of blue and
white dishes so I just popped in a little bit of cheery holly and it says
Christmas to me.
All the birdcage needed was a dusting of snow and it's ready too. Do you have the Christmas blues at your home?
Happy Holidays!
Patti

Oh how I do love blue and white. It all looks so nice and fresh Patti. Merry Christmas to you and your family from all of us here in Australia x
Your blues look beautiful especially the ornaments you found last year! I took ceramic classes in the 70's and made some of those Christmas trees with the lights! I made a frosty white one with blue ornaments for my mother in-law and she still has it. She's always decorated with blue! Thank you for hosting this party!
LOVE the Blues!!! Beautiful!!
For anyone who is Jewish and celebrating Hanukkah this time of year, this would be perfect too!!
Stunning!!
Thanks for the party!!
Hugs,

The blue and white is so pretty; and it makes such a statement! It's such a classic that it works year 'round. Love the features, as well! Thanks so much for hosting!
I think we've all had those ceramic trees in our lives one time or another. What a wonderful reminder of times passed. Yours is so pretty in blue and white! Thanks for hosting another exciting party!
Lovely Blue and white decor!
Oh I adore your Christmas Blues! And that ceramic tree brings back a ton od memoried for me as well. Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season. Thank you for the party ladies and have a wonderful week!

The ceramic tree is so pretty. Thank you for hosting the party. Merry Christmas!
I definitely have Christmas Blues this year. With Silver though after seeing your post I should have gone after the whites :).
Wishing you a Merry and Blessed Christmas,
Teresa
Beautiful blues, I love the little tree with lights, it reminded me I had one in white and I don't know whatever happened to it!
Great features and inspiration.
Thank you for the party and Merry Christmas.
FABBY
Oh wow Patti, your Christmas blues photos are beautiful! I love the way you display them in the bird cages. And that cookie jar, I have only ever seen the little spice jars like that-so cute!
I recently bought some blue dishes so I would have some blue on my Independence day table, but that is all the blue I have.
Have a wonderful week!

I remember making those ceramic trees back in the seventies. A group of a dozen or so ladies would all meet at Margie's Ceramic shop at 7:00 PM on Friday night. Margie would have the TV tuned to Dallas and we would all be either cleaning our greenware or painting our bisque to be fired over the weekend. There was a lot of laughing and camaraderie going on during those lessons, it is a wonder we ever got our projects done. Thank you for hosting ladies! I do have a winter blue tablescape to share. Have a lovely day..... Candy
Hi Patti! Oh, I love your white and blue for Christmas. Looks like snow and ice to me - very appropriate. I love love your little white ceramic Christmas tree! I've been looking for one of those too! I'm not giving up. Your home is always most gorgeous and you have the prettiest of things and really know how to decorate. Thank you for hosting your party and I'm playing with you today. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You are the sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Your Christmas decorating is perfect! I might be a bit biased though since my favorite thing is blue and white China!
Love all your blue decor. Thank you for the party. Hope you have a wonderful day. Cathy

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!!! Blue is my absolute fave, this is beautiful! ❤❤
Oh Patti, you lucky lady to find that vintage tree!... I have always always wanted one of those... brings back so many memories from when I was a little girl at my grandmothers house... and your birdcage full of china just takes my breath away!... looks like a case of the "Christmas blues" is a "good thing!"... (sorry Martha, you don't own that phrase or anything, do you???)... Merry Christmas ladies!... xoxo... Julie Marie
I love your blue and white inside your birdcage! It's charming and magical. You inspired me to do something similar with my own birdcage. Thanks for the party Patti!
Big Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
Love that tree! I've never seen one quite like it. Beautiful! Thanks so much for hosting. Happy Christmas!
We used to have blue ornaments (I was gonna say balls but discretion got the better of me) when I was growing up. This post brings back memories.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
I love that shade of blue and white! So beautiful. xoxo
Patti, I love all your blue and white dishes. That is what my good china is blue heron. My sister has a tree like that, and that is all she has out for Christmas...how sad. Blessings to you and yours, xoxo,Susie
P.S. just in case I don't get to comment next week, I wish you a glorious Christmas.
Beautiful blues, I love this combination too!
Thank you for hosting and wishing you
all a very Merry Christmas!

Oh thank you Patti, for choosing me to be included here in your beautiful godd company of these wonderfully inspiring bloggers. I to have a bit of the blues over at my place. I have added a canvas grain sack fabric pillow and raised French blue ink colored velvet to it.
I am wrapping packages and gifting's in blue, and grey and natural paper sack gift wrap papers adding a touch more blue to my French blue Noël.
It's been another beautiful year sharing with you all that inspires. I am so looking forward to many more.
I am off to complete some early appointments and then a bit more shopping and I will be completely done, and then I can take time to relax, bake, and enjoy the beauty of all my blog holiday posting friends.
See you soon.
Again my sweet beautiful friend, thank you from the bottom of my heart for seeing enough inspiration in my French theatre to share :)
Blessings,
And a joyeux Noël to you and yours.

I love blue for Christmas. It reminds me of the colour of the early evening on snowy days.
Hi Patti, I am a little late to the party.....I am loving your beautiful blues - the sweet tree, your gorgeous plates and wonderful displays! I had blue for years and years and just switched to white, now I am missing it... Hope you have a wonderful Christmas! xo Karen
Merry Christmas, love the Blue and White, I have a Vintage tree also on my Link up, had it since 1970. Yours came at a great price.
I like blue and white decorations for Christmas too. I love the old fashioned ceramic Christmas tree you found. I've never seen one with blue lights before. Love all of your blue and white dishes on display too.
lovely Christmas blues.My Mother has a tree just like that one. She made it in ceramics class many years ago. This sparked a sweet memory of when she came home smiling as she presented her new creation. Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things bog hop. xo
Amazing Christmas Blues...
Hi Patti I just love your Christmas
Blues - so many beautiful pieces from your collection.
Thanks for your sweet comment on my Christmas Vignette. I know I'm late but I've just linked to the party.
Sending you many Christmas Blessings to you and your family!
Suzy
Love the white ceramic Christmas tree with the blue bulbs!
Blessings, Dianne
LOVELY PATTI! Good morning sister in JESUS!
I have never, never seen one of these lit up trees! And the color purple/blue is stunning! You scored on this! And your beautiful home, so lovingly prepared for the celebration of the king's coming, the moment when "...the soul felt its worth."
Thank you precious lady, for coming to visit. You reminded me that I needed to put my name at the end of the final quote, for I wrote it. To think that he came in the rags of human flesh so that we need not go any longer in this temporary state of being...but to live in robes of light. Chilling, thrilling idea and reality!
Peace to you dear one. Anita
Blue and white is my favorite color combination. All of your finds are beautiful and unique. You displayed everything so nicely!
the blue is stunning! Merry Christmas!
Sorry I'm late to visit this beautiful post. Love your Christmas blues. Merry Christmas!
So glad blue was a color not a mood! Love blue what a great GW find! Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful amazing collections
Merry Christmas
Carol
Beautiful!!

Sherry
