Mustards, Reds, and a little Blue

Eve over at Lee Hill Primitives was showing her blues today. BTW, she is the supplier of our coffee tonight , good fresh brewed Kona. Lets use the mustard cups, do you want too? I have some sugar cookies too, so help yourself. Anyway back to the blues. I have used mustard for years. Long before it became an in color. I just love it. It says old.
My 4.00 yard sale chair. Of course that was a few years ago.
Mustard curtains. The same kind all over the house. Mustard lamp shade, but you can't see it.

Mustard wood work. Well you get it I have a lot of mustard. We won't even get into red. I have so much red, and you have seen a lot of it. I won't bore you with that. Blues, I didn't think I had a lot, but when I started looking, I had several blue item. I had sold two of my blue pie safes, but I still have a little blue.
A Blue corner cupboard, built by the worlds best son in law and full of books.
A piece of old blue coverlet. It was initially going to be  made into a pillow.
This blue collar is pretty special. Well the fellow wearing it is.
This old blue frame hold one of my favorite pictures. A barefoot boy and his dog.
My very first Cross stitch.
Childs Blue willow tea set.
My paternal grandmothers sunbonnet, made from a feed sack. She is the one who had the mirror.
Well I have shared a few of my favorite blue things. I am "yearning" for some more blues.
Yesterday brought another RAK. I am humbled by these,as I do nothing to deserve them. This one was given by someone who didn't want any recognition.
Yes, I know the middle spoon is crooked.lol This was made by Jen at

She does wonderful work and this is a perfect red. I really like it. BTW can you see the nail holes I need to fill, from a previous lantern hung there? Go over to Jens web site and check her out, would you?
I am so glad you stopped off Through My Back Door where life is good.

PS: I am going to share some of my quilts with you soon. Most were made by my Mother and Grandmother'
PSS: Tomorrow is the festival. Clinton was full of people today. It has become quite the antique place
PSSS: Don't forget to continue to pray for our blogging buddies that are fighting some serious health issues. Some of them have family members who are ill too and I know bloggers are prayers.

  1. Everything is beautiful. I, too, have used mustard for many years because it truly is an 'old' color.

    Love your new spoon holder. Jen is a special designer.

  9. Everything looks so nice Betty. Love the old rocker. Brings back memories of my childhood. My grandmother and old maid aunt both had similar rockers. As a child I was not allowed to sit in either. (LOL) I inherited my grandmothers and it is so special to me. Have fun in Clinton. Hope you get photos to share.

  12. I could just move right into your house...it is always so inviting and warm!! That's why we decorate this way, isn't it!?! I lean mainly toward reds but love the mustards and blues also. I'm stuck in a blue phase that I am trying to get out of right now!!--Jan
