Blue Monday

As many of you know I love blue, so I decided to join in on Blue Monday. It happens over at Smiling Sally. She has a list of all the other participants and I know you will find it fun to see all the blue.

In the afternoons when the sun shines into my kitchen all this blue glass just sparkles and I love it!

I've been given the "lemonade award" by Donna at Donna's Art . Thank you Donna! This award is based on displaying great attitude or gratitude and I always enjoy visiting Donna because she always cheers my day. Please stop by to see her and check out her fabulous art!

I hope when you read my blog that it is a positive part of your day. There are so many reasons to be discouraged right now so I like to think that stopping by for a cup of tea with me will cheer you up just a little bit.

Here are the rules for this award:
1. Put the logo on your blog or post.
2. Nominate at least 10 blogs which show GREAT ATTITUDE &/or GRATITUDE!
3. Be sure to link your nominees within your post.
4. Let them know that they have received this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love & link to this post & to the person from who you received your award.

I am going to pass this award on to just one person because of all the bloggers I know, I think she most epitomizes great attitude and gratitude. It's Marie at A Year From Oak Cottage. If you don't know Marie , you must visit her and if you do, you'll see why I think she deserves this award! What I love is her positive attitude, and her gratefulness for everything in her life, both good and bad. I always feel encouraged and hopeful after reading her blog. Oh and she makes the MOST DELICIOUS recipes ever!

Hope you have a great day!

  16. Rhondi, those are really neat bottles, plates, etc. I had a friend who collected green depression glass and did the same thing with them. Her Easter table used to be amazing. I think the blue is equally beautiful!

    Happy Blue Monday,

    Sheila :-)

  28. Oh gosh Rhondi! I don't know what to day. I am truly humbled by your beautiful words about me. Not sure I live up to them, but I'll take them just the same as well as this wonderful award that comes with them. Thanks so much!! I have to say though that I have always found your spot here on the web to be a great inspiration to me! You so totally deserved this award yourself. I love to come here and see what you are getting up to and read your words and see your treasures. I just adore your blue things!! Blue and white is my favourite combination of colours followed closely by red and white. Bless you Rhondi, you have made my day, week, year!!!
