a collection of blue and white ~ and home disaster update

 One of my favorite color combinations is blue and white.
I have quite the collection going on a bookshelf in my office.
All are pieces I've collected at Goodwill, Savers, and other thrift stores.
The only pieces that are marked on the bottom are the pitcher in back
(hand painted in Portugal) and the little Dutch shoes in front (Delft).


It sure was a busy morning. The new springs for the garage door were installed
at 8 a.m. The old water softener was hauled away and the new one installed
at 9. And the restoration crew was here at 10 to take away all the fans
and industrial dehumidifier in the basement. Basement is all dried out now
and all it needs is all new baseboards installed. Not bad - could've been
a ton worse. Good thing we caught the water just in time (it was only about 2"
deep) and that the restoration company was able to come out right away to
start clean up. Now my days will be spent going through the tons of stuff
that we had stored down there and either putting in bags for donation (I already
have huge piles ready to go!) or re-organizing on shelves or in plastic storage
boxes. Gotta get all that stuff out of the garage as soon as possible so we can
park our cars back in there. 

I leave for my yoga class in about 40 minutes. I know I say it every Monday,
but I really need it tonight. All that breath work and stretching feels so
 good and quiets the mind.
