All Things Blue & White

Today it’s raining here in PA, so using my paint sprayer is out (I have to open my cellar doors for ventilation), so I thought I would share my love of blue and white. I love Delft, Willow Ware, Blue Flow, even the cheap blue & white urns you can buy at TJMaxx and Marshalls. If it’s Blue & White, I love it! These coffee and sugar jars are a set of three (I have flour) that I purchased at an Antique store for $60. This was a HUGE splurge for me, but I think I used my birthday money. I have loved them for years and it was well worth it.
This coffee jar was missing its lid, so I got it for $6.

Cheapo TJ Maxx urn and I found the antique pitcher at a thrift store for $4.00.

This is the emblem on a 6 gallon crock that I dug out of my grandfather’s attic. I love this piece and I’m still looking for the perfect spot for it.

I think this plate was $3.00 at an antique store. It was in a 50% off booth, score! Hope you enjoy blue & white as much as I do.

  1. I really like blue white and that’s why I like Delft. I like your set of 3 coffee sugar jars. As a lover of Delft, I have collected many delft from vases, plates, jars, and more. And I always take time to visit the Netherlands to buy other delft collections at aronson.com; their collection deserve to have.
