Blue Monday: Lots of Blue Today

Blue Monday is here again and that is the day we get to showcase our blue items and share them with you. Smiling Sally host Blue Monday every week. Click Here to view other Blue Monday goodies and visit with Sally.

This week, I thought I would show you my crochet needles. These two little blue needles have been getting a lot of use the past month. If you follow my blog, you know I have given a couple of homemade afghans away on my blog and they were made with these two blue needles. I think they are a lovely shade of blue.

The large blue needle is used for the body work on the afghans and the smaller dark blue needle is used for the trim.

These are a really neat find. I found these at an estate sale, and loved the colors. These are four little pins that would I assume pin to a lapel of a jacket. I don't know if I will wear them, but I fell in love with them when I saw them.

Here is a pretty pendent that has a large blue stone. I purchased this at the same estate sale for $3.00. I love the stone and the details of this piece.

This little work of art was made by my daughter when she was in elementary school. It works well for storing my vintage pins in, and I like the colors in the piece. It is a treasure!
Lastly, I want to remind you about my giveaway that started this week......

Be sure to click HERE to enter my giveaway for this week. Winner will be announced on Saturday. Be sure to leave a comment on SUNDAY'S Post to be eligible for the drawing. ~ Good Luck.

  1. All these pieces are so beautiful! What a find that necklet is!

    And I just wanted to congratulate you on your wonderful giveaway! I will not enter (even though we are an older couple and struggling mainly because we have to move into another rented home by Christmas.) At least I have a job and I am sure there are more needy people in the world than what we are! I'd just love to see them get some Christmas joy!

    At least we have each other!

    Happiness always to you for your wonderful gift!

  6. The estate jewelry is the kind of sparkly that I appreciate. I wonder what it cost originally? I'll bet a pretty penny. Happy Blue Monday!

  7. I have earrings that mimic the setting of your pins. They aren't antique though, but they were made by the 1928 Jewelry Company which makes vintage looking items.

    Very pretty items in your Blue Monday post.

  26. Good evening, you never really know how valuable your jewels are that come from an estate sale?/ The going thing nowadays is to have the gold melted down and get paid cash for it.My daughter in Atlanta had a Gold party at her house, and one of her friends made 2300.00 dollars from her old gold that was never worn..

    Your daughter's pottery is a treasure to keep forever!!

  31. Love the estate pieces! They are beautiful.

    I have tons of crochet needles. My huge blue one I use with cotton clothes line to demonstrate crocheting to a large group (when I have taught chocheting) I have to admit, I have never used it to crochet.
