Something Blue

I know it's St Patty's Day and all, but I'm a bit blue today .... that's a good thing in my world!

As you can see by my pad I favour the rich deep blue tones in plush velvety fabrics, but I also incorporate different blue tones throughout my space ....

I love this wee vintage gilt compact with a blue-dressed fancy lady on it as much as I did 20 years ago when I bought it for $20 at a Queen St. West store in Toronto. She sits on my bureau with my pill box collection and other tiny decorative boxes.

To fill a narrow space in a bland hallway, I stuck up these beautiful postcards, sent to my by my best friend, on my wall as art.

I like the way they pick up my teal blue pashmina, which in turn pops so well against my yellow Bill Blass swing coat, thrifted for $12!
