All the blue came out after the cupboard cleanout


After all the cupboard clean out and sorting recently as in my last posts
It's quite amazing the amount of things I found which I love and don't see 
too often.

So they have been left out for me to enjoy




I love blue and white
and can't resist it when I find a bargain in thrift shops.
It is getting harder to find at a price I can afford now,
but there is a bargain to be had on occasions,like this
duchess set which was embroidered in orange and brown.
I unpicked the embroidery and re did it in the willow blues which I love



I make my own preserves and love to add little fabric covers.
That way they can be part of the decor.






this is my sweet little frog. If you blink you may miss him :)


Crystal Salt and pepper shakers with silver tops. I love crystal and silver together 



A lovely vintage table cloth 








Another vintage table cloth



Tea and biscuits makes a welcome relief after all the tidying.


And a fresh salad for lunch









I hope you enjoyed seeing my blue collection
Join me when I visit The Dedicated House for anything blue linky party
I will also visit a few other parties for more inspiration
The links are on my side bar.

Happy Organizing

continuing the clean out of cupboards

I have definitely got the clearing out bug.
This is the bottom of the cupboard in the previous post.
I had intended to start on the kitchen cupboards,but
I remembered I hadn't done this one. 
So my trusty basket came out and got quickly filled
with stuff for Gumtree sales orrrrr,the church jumble sale.


I store Christmas dishes in here,so don't look very often
I have to keep card between them so they don't get scratched
Red would look awful if they did.



Into the basket with the maybe keeps. No I mean the out they go's
I have to be ruthless



Love to see the empty cupboard,it gives me a chance to change things

I have to get some more plate stands from K Mart.
Pause here while I go :)



They just fit so well in the corner. K Mart have all sorts of shapes
and sizes,and so cheap



I'm afraid I still put the card between the plates,but better than scratches.
I am very pleased this cupboard is finished and so much more room
and little wasted space. 


I am joining some nice linky parties this week to get more inspiration.
There are some lovely blogs out there.
The links are on my side bar 
Hope you are enjoying your week
