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......

All these pieces are so beautiful! What a find that necklet is!
ReplyDeleteAnd 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!
Love you daughter's pottery - I have something very similar! Great find on those lapel pins!!...Donna

You've some pretty blue this week. That last pendant just jumped at me...I see an angel there. The pottery is, of course, so precious :0). I would love to enter your giveaway. I love afghans!
ReplyDeleteThe 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty items in your Blue Monday post.
Beautiful blues this morning.

I added a link for your giveaways to my blog!! HAppy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteLovely blue post. I have some crochet hooks, but I think they are silver or ivory color. The blue ones are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonderful blues! Love the lapel pins - I have a tiny Christmas tree that I decorate with old jewelry just like that (though not blue). Makes the holiday very sparkly.
ReplyDeleteGood 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..
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's pottery is a treasure to keep forever!!
Your blue jewelry is very pretty and that piece of pottery your daughter made is just precious.
ReplyDeleteLove your photos of your treasures! I think you must have a good camera! I enjoyed your Friday sky pics too. Thanks for stopping by earlier. I also crochet(a bit) and I am sure I will come back to your blog again.
ReplyDeleteI love your crochet hooks. And I would love to be entered into your giveaway. It would be fun to win. Thanks for visiting me too. Happy Blue Monday!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful blue!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how you have time to blog and put together your neat giveaways and make so many afghans!
Love the estate pieces! They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I really like that second photo. nice composition!
ReplyDeleteAnd the kid-made jar? Those are priceless.
Those pins are really pretty! And what a treasure your daughter's art work is.
ReplyDeleteLove your blue pieces. I too crochet, so I love the hooks. And I am a huge succor for vintage or vintage looking jewelry. Yours are beautiful.
