It feels so great to have the Christmas decorations down and put away.... to start out the new year, I am thinking fresh.... and that makes me think yellow and blue!
I see from this photo from a few years ago, I was in a yellow and blue mood as well, but this year I am changing it up a bit...the challenge is always, how I can make it really speak to my inner sensibilities!
My sensibilities this new year are strained from one end of the spectrum to the other.... dealing with death of a parent on one extreme, and the birth of my first grandchild on the other...so it's no telling how I will bring yellow for the excitement of new life together with the "blues" of loss and memories.... it is a work in progress... so I'll finish this post in a few hours!

The table is set for tomorrow's mini brunch with my Prayer Sista's
I think it looks casually cheerful!
I really love the soft creamery yellow against the various blues for January.. it still recalls the crispness of a winter's day with the promise of a Southern sun shining through the window panes..
I never got my snowmen out for the holidays,
so this handsome fellow will keep us smiling !
I am sharing on Seasonal Sundays..
Blue and yellow are always happy together and your table looks lovely. I like the snowman under the cloche. Hope you have a nice lunch and meeting.
ReplyDeleteRight after Christmas I went back to my blue and white china. It just always feels right. Yours is lovely and I love the pattern 'Country-side'. I'm sorry to read of your loss. Losing a parent is life-changing. Hugs, Deb
