Blue Monday - Dutch style

Today I will be joining Sally at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ for Blue Monday. Thank you Sally for hosting!

My blues today are from my little Delft collection. 

We have our Victorian Delft Blue tea for one set.

With our little Dutch musicians filled with song.

How cute is this little teapot!

The saucer.

Tea time and we are having an apple cinnamon herbal blend.

Happy Monday!

Pocket poochie kept a watchful eye out, protecting Little Companion's stuffed animal while I was busy.

He takes his job very seriously! He is also busy trying to grow out his hair from where the 7-year-old, wanna-be groomer (Little Companion) trimmed him up. Notice one eyebrow is gone?

Thrifty finds

Granddaughter's dental visit in the big city (Minot, ND) got bumped up to yesterday so after, since we were in the city anyway, we went thrifting!

I found this cute buffalo china. Can you see the cute little buffalo on the bottom of the cups?

The saucers and bread plates are stamped.

Also found this Hallmark candle and this fine faux fall foliage. Around here as soon as the weather gets a little cool you must hurry to celebrate fall because as soon as you blink winter will be upon us!

I think they are fun.

Kinda looks like the cups are winking. I was actually using the cup on the left during the photo shoot!

I think I did pretty well. The Hallmark candle was 99 cents and so was the fine faux fall foliage. The dishes were 10 cents each so everything added up to $2.60. A fine price to pay for fun I think but ... here's the rub... we now find we will be going into the big city again this evening and there was more of this buffalo china to be had. I am thinking I should have gotten a couple of plates or platters to go with it too and maybe a couple more sets of cups. Oh my! How will this story end?

Only time will tell!

I am linking up with Leigh over at Bloggeritaville, http://lbratina.blogspot.com/,  for Thrifty Thursday. Thanks for hosting this event Leigh!
