Happy Monday everyone. Smiling Sally is hosting Blue Monday on her blog. This is where you can post anything blue. It can be something funny, vintage, pretty, ugly, simple or complex....just as long as it is blue. See.... Sally, I did remember to post this week....*wink*wink*.This is my new vintage souvenir handkerchief. It really is vintage, it is just new to me. I think it qualifies for Blue Monday because of the beautiful shade of blue along the border of the handkerchief.
I received this in the mail last week from a fellow blogger. Elizabeth from Thoughts from an Evil Overlord blog decided to play it forward, and she forwarded me this lovely handkerchief....just because she felt sure I would love it.
And Guess what? I do love it. Incase you are wondering, let me tell you the reasons why. One, because it's vintage. Two, because it has something to do with Colorado. Three, and this is the very most important reason...because it was sent to me from a new friend.
Man, it just gets no better than that. Thank you so much Elizabeth. I am going to frame this little gem and most likely take it to our cabin and display it in our front bedroom, just as soon as we do the remodel in that room.
You can check out all the other great Blue Monday post over at Smiling Sally's blog. Have a great week everyone. Check back next Monday, you never know what you will find, hopefully a smile to start out your week.
Greetings from Finland to Texas!

ReplyDeleteSorry, I forgot to thank you for your kind words on my blog!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
What a beautiful piece...and made more so by being given to you by a new friend...
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, bj
Hooray, you made it!
ReplyDeleteThat handkerchief looks similar to a silk scarf of Washington DC that I have.
Elizabeth is a special blogger, isn't she?
Happy Blue Monday!
It looks great; I'm so glad you like it!
ReplyDeleteLove that watermelon below, too!
Your pretty scarf is so special. Thank you for telling us the story that goes along with it. Happy Blue Monday. Take care.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely, and a sweet gift on all three counts.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! What is the Secret Santa thing on your sidebar? I clicked on it but it didn't take me anywhere.
ReplyDeleteThat is so neat! I live in Colorado and I'm so sorry to hear you're in TX! lol A friend of mine moved there last year and tells me horrific stories of the bugs and scorpions. No thanks! If you're ever up here for a visit, let me know and we'll go for tea.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday.
How nice! I agree it is a lovely handerchief - and the best thing is it was given to you by a friend. Isn't blog land wonderful?!

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift to receive from a blog friend!
ReplyDeleteI do like it and I like the colors in it!
Happy Blue Monday,
Love, Ann
That is so cool! I have this image of your house and it is like a living meusem...i could bring the beans there for a field trip!
ReplyDeleteVery nice indeed! Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteI like the hanky as well, and it was very nice for someone to send it to you. To Melissa's Cozy Teacup---I too like Colorado but am a true Texan--if you lived here long enough you would love it too---You can have just about any kind of weather you want in a 24 hr. period--sometimes 2-3 changes--the people on a whole are friendly--its the "outsiders" that some times give us a bad rap. you can go from desert to the mountains --from HOT HOT to below freezing ---cost of living is usually cheaper---and more importantly it has "COLORADO LADY" in it --who was by the way, born in Texas.
ReplyDeleteWell as I understand the "rules" of Blue Monday, I'd say you hit it square-on. What a cool gift to get from a new friend.
ReplyDeleteNice 1950's looking handkerchieh !
ReplyDeleteI remember my mom having a hanky similar to yours, although I don't remember the state. Yours is lovely and such a nice gift.

ReplyDeleteI agree, a gift from a friend holds special appeal to us. I'm glad you found a new blogging friend who thought enough of you to send it :) It will look lovely framed.
ReplyDeletetake care,
