It's Blue Monday! To participate:1. Post about something blue on your blog. It can be pretty, ugly, funny, old, or new as long as it's blue. Leave a link to this blog on your post.
2. Place the Blue Monday button on the top of your post so that people can easily spot it. Place another Blue Monday button on the sidebar of your blog.
3. Return here and link in with Mr. Linky by leaving your name and the Permalink to your post. To create a Permalink, click on your Blue Monday post title and copy all the stuff in the http window. It is a longer address so that people can find your post even later in the week--whenever they get a chance to visit. For those who just can't wait, Mr. Linky will be up after midnight!
Do NOT link in until after your post is up.
4. Visit other Blue participants by clicking on their links. Make someone's day; leave a comment. I appreciate it when you take the time to leave a comment for me.
5. Check back later to make certain you visit all the Blue participants. (That's why the Permalink is so important.)

Today I have three dishes that hang on my dining room wall to share. They were quite difficult to photograph as there's a good bit of gold on them, and it tends to show up brown or black. There is no brown or black in any of these plates. This is another gift from my mom. She handed them down to me, and got to see me display them to enjoy in this spot.
This is is largest and the most blue. Of course, it's my favorite. (You knew that, didn't you?)
Then, there are two matching, smaller plates. They have less blue, more green.
Please check out the book giveaways in my sidebar. I do hope that Blue Monday people win!

All of these plates are so beautiful Sally. I'd hang them on the wall, too. Happy Blue to you !
Beautiful plates! The detail is just exquisite!
Happy Blue Monday Sally!
Sally! These are fantastic! I love their colors. So vibrant
Those are beautiful plates, Sally!
Great 'blue' post, Sally... Those gorgeous plates remind me of a little restaurant where we used to eat in Sarasota, FL.. They had beautiful plates all over the walls... AND they had the best grouper I've ever eaten.
Thanks for the memories.
Hugs,
Betsy
Sally, those are some amazing plates. I cannot get over the detail. I'm so glad you shared them with us. I'm going to go back and ogle them some more!
Happy Blue Monday...
XO,
Sheila :-)
What an eye-catching trio of plates, Sally...and I love that they were something your Mom cherished, and then passed on to you to enjoy just as much as she did. They are beautiful, and make such a striking wall arrangement. :-)
The plates are gorgeous Sally. I think everybody loves plates.
Good Blue Monday morning, Sally it is so special to have treasures handed down to us from our moms..I love your colorful plates hanging on the wall!!! I am headed off to bed.. see you tomorrow... hugs, Baba
Sally, Very beautiful and elegant plates! True Treasures! :)
I "messed up" on typing in my link under #6. I was linking it to the specific post, and didn't type it in right. So sorry! #8 is correct.
~hugs, Rhonda :)
Wow Everyone is up late. It's 12:30 here and I must get myself to bed.
Lovely blue post Sally. I love plates & yours are very special indeed.
Happy Blue Monday
Love Claudie
Hi Sally,
As always, your blues are just beautiful...the plates are wonderful. Happy Blue Monday, hope it's a great one.
LOVE THE PLATES
SUE
Your favorite plate is also my favorite. But all of them are so pretty. Happy Blue Monday!
The colors are bright and delightful...I do totally understand the gold trim and highlights hard to photograph!...
But I think you did just dandy!
These plates are beautiful! I have trouble photographing anything metallic also. do you edit your pictures after you take them? Sometimes a color enhancement works.
VERY beautiful plates you've got! :-) I have a similar one that I bought in spain.... I think they're lovely!
Monica
Happy Blue Monday !
Those plates look so pretty hanging on the wall. Made me think about a plate my Mom always had on her wall, it was a gold rimmed plate with little circles with a president's picture in the circle. I used to think it was hidous, do you know what I'd give to get the plate now.I would surely hang that plate on my wall now. :)
Hugs,
Chris
Hi Sally,
Beautiful plates! I have some hanging on my wall that belonged to my mom, as well. Such a treasure to me!
Happy Monday!
Sally, Each plate in itself is lovely. The grouping is beautiful. Happy Blue Monday!
Sweetie
Love the attention to detailed, exquisite patterns on those plates! So very pretty together!
Beautiful plates Sally. another wonderful treasure from your mom. It is very special that she knew how much you loved them by hanging them for her to see.
Hugs...Jeanne
Sally those plates are beautiful and what wonderful memories attached to them. I am not one for buying ornaments etc for myself I prefer when they are given to me then they hold precious memories of that person and when I look at them I can pray for that person too. God bless you, Judith
Hi Sally,

Hey Sally,

Thanks for hosting Blue Monday! I'm late getting my post up, but finally got it done!

Hi Sally
Those are very beautiful plates!
Tell us more - do you know anything about their history? Do they have any marks on the back? They are beautiful. Sally
Loving the colors on them! Have a great week. Kathy
Beautiful plates Sally, they photographed well. I just love the detail in them and the fact that they came from your mom of course is so special.
The plates are beautiful
Your plates are lovely.
Again, I want to thank you for hosting Blue Monday. I had a lot of fun with my post today.
Very pretty plates....although I struggle every time I come here....I have to quickly scroll past your header picture or I just get GREEN with envy!!!
Your plates are lovely and have wonderful detail.
Curious... my link back to here took me to last week's post.... I've got it set up to search out "blue monday" posts so those who click it later in the week will find the meme post directly.
Ahhh... I see why now. You have a period between the "Blue Monday" and the "decor" in your tags. And my link was looking for "blue monday" not "blue monday.decor"
anyway, I've been up since midnight wondering where the Mr. Linky was.
Actually my post has been up since midnight. I was asleep. Gotta get my beauty rest ya know. Otherwise I'm scary.
Beautiful plates, Sally. My blue Monday item has been posted. Can you please tell me how I can get the "Blue Monday" blue bird sign to put on my blog? Thank you, Sally.
Never mind, Sally, I think I got it. Too late to put it on today's post, but maybe it will work for next week.
Your plates are lovely Sally. And I have you interview questions.
1. With all the books you've read which one is your absolute favorite, besides the Bible?
2. What made you start a blog?
3. What is your biggest regret?
4. What is your greatest accomplishment?
5. Where or what have you always wanted to visit or do that you haven't done yet?
Can't wait to see your answers.
*hugs*
the first plate is absolutely beautiful!!! what treasures!! I have a few things my grandmother gave me before she passed that she got to see my enjoy...very special!
Hey, I wanted to let you know that i have not received that book yet......I am dying to go through it, so have been looking for it. Just wanted to let you know in case it got lost or something!!!
Thanks again for all your great giveaways!!
Happy Blue Monday! Love your blue plates!
Beautiful plates Sally...I love plates hanging on a wall! Thanks for coming by and reading about my Aunt..she really is a hoot! lol lol
This is my first Blue Monday. Due to the lateness in the day ...dinner and bible study, I will visit tomorrow. Thanks Sally for pointing out my blue.
Beautiful plates!!!!!

Virginia :)
Gorgeous plates Sally! I love the colors and patterns on both, and the first one reminds me of a deviled eggs platter :o) Have a great week!
