BLUE MONDAY


Sally at Smiling Sally is once again hosting Blue Monday. Check out her blog for a plethora of Blue Loveliness!!!


In an effort to spruce up things around here, I have been trying to work on our bedroom. I made a new dust ruffle and some pillows; and also purchased a new summer-weight matelasse spread in a yummy shade of blue.

I discovered that by ordering a full-sized bedspread instead of a king-sized coverlet, it fit our king-sized bed generously and was less money.

I love the raised paisley pattern!

Thanks for stopping by,
Sally

I have the white matilesse coverlets like your blue one in my guest room. They are such a good weight and practical too! Very pretty!

I do like that shade and the scalloped edges just make it. Pretty print for the dust ruffle and pillow too. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

Hi Sally...

Just read your sweet note...thank you for coming by! My friend, I love what you've done to your bedroom!!! I love your new matelasse coverlet and that's got to be the prettiest shade of blue! I was looking at the pretty floral/paisley pattern on it...just beautiful! It's perfect with your new bedskirt and pillows (which I just love!)

Yes...the sun is shining here at my place too...so nice! No mud though...we've had such bad wind up here. I thought we would blow away for several days there...it dried up all of the moisture that we received! I really dislike the wind...it just makes me irritable! hehe!!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday, my friend!
Love ya,
Chari

I went out this morning and found my first red rose bloomed out on my knockout roses...didn't you hear me squeal up there! lol lol I ran back in and grabbed the camera!
