I kept working on my list today.
Twelve out of sixteen complete and I did some shopping and planning for the others.
First thing on my list this morning was the dining room shelf.
I rearranged this shelf when I took down the Christmas decorations.
And, I have not been "loving" it.
I look at this shelf every morning and night when I sit on the window seat eating.
I have "loved" the shelf decor in the past and thought about going back to this look.
But, some of the dishes are now on shelves in the kitchen and I like them there too.
When I was looking at blogs this morning, I came across a post titled Decorating With Blue and White at Beachcomber.
So out came the blue and white.
Each shelf holds something near and dear to me
I don't remember why, but I put them away in a cupboard and forgot about them.
The duck container and the chicken were gifts from my college roommate.
Steve bought me the soup tureen for Christmas one year and we used to use it all the time.
The Good Mother plate was given to me by my oldest friend for my very first Mother's Day.
The Manhattan plate brings back memories of the first time KC and I went to New York City.
I found it at Fishes Eddy and had space been no issue in my luggage, I would have bought many more items.
The blue Calico bowl is one of only 2 pieces of Calico that I own.
When we were first married, I wanted a set of Calico dishes, but they were far out of our price range.
I liked the little bit of red in the bowl, but then I remembered a yellow heart shaped bowl.
With the little bit of yellow on the shelf, I was done.
This was my view at dinner tonight and thanks to the Beachcomber, I am "loving" it.
