I suppose you wouldn't be surprised to discover that I have a collection of blue and white pieces. I used to keep them in our family room. After moving to this area, we've purchased this ginger jar. It's not expensive, but I love it.
It's a tall one, and we have it displayed on the very top of our china cabinet. Since my china is in storage, I have filled the china cabinet with other pieces of blue and white items. I'll show them to you one piece at a time.
I have a fancy-smancy decorating secret to share. To elevate the ginger jar so that the bottom can be viewed, I put newspapers under it! If you look closely, you can see a bit of newspaper peeking out!

What a lovely blue and white jar! It reminds me of one my mother had when I was a little girl ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
Very pretty, and a good idea on elevating for better visibility.
Great idea! Can't see the paper from down below. I love ginger jars.
What a pretty jar! Happy Blue Monday!
Blessings,

That is a very pretty ginger jar. It is not always the value that counts, if it is something you like and enjoy. I can barely see the paper, but who cares.

Just stopping in to say hi Sally.

The very best colour-scheme for pottery.....blue and white.
The ginger jar looks great. I like how it is centered in the arch behind it too. Great idea about elevating something a little higher!
Happy Blue Monday!

I have always loved blue and white pottery. I think it's beautiful. Unfortunately I don't have any. I don't know why. Yours is so pretty. I'll be your cabinet looks lovely all done in blue and white. Happy Blue Monday ♥

Hi Sally,
I love everything blue and white and your jar is very pretty~ Thanks for being our hostess with the mostest! Cindy
Happy Blue Monday, Sally.
Your temple jar is beautiful, and I like your fancy idea. Speaking of fancy ideas, I use a can of tuna every year when I decorate our mantel for Christmas. I have a Santa that needs elevating, and the garland hides the can. Don't worry, it isn't the same can every year. ;-)
Sally! What a charming ginger jar!I love the design.Happy blue monday.
I love ginger jars...especially blue and white ones...
I'm a Blue Monday newbie! I think it's a fantastic idea. :) And that IS a beautiful jar!!
Ginger jars have such a graceful shape. I love yours...

Hello Most Smiling One! That's a very pretty ginger jar you have and I wanna see more! Now you're just gonna tease us and show one piece at a time! :)
I'm blueing with you again today. I really didn't point it out, but it's the blue in my Rooseter painting. I thought I should explain so you wouldn't kick me out of Blue Monday!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Good morning, Sally. I like your ginger jar. The design and colors are very pretty....Christine
That was a great idea to put it up higher....very beautiful

Your ginger jar is very pretty. I hope Monday is being kind; if not, I hope it's quick!

Hello Sally,
Your ginger jar is very lovely. I do the same thing to help elevate items I have placed in high locations.
~ Tracy
Great ginger jar Sally... I love the blue & white too... Have a fun day!
(((HUGS)))

Love the gorgeous ginger jar. It's just lovely. I too have to elevate some things on top of the cabinets and the entertainment center. I use a few pieces of wood. Works great. Hugs, Marty
Its beautiful Sally. Sometimes those things that doesn't cost much they are pretty than the expenssive ones.
A pretty blue ginger jar indeed, Sally. Thank you again for being the perfect hostess!
I have a photo of fringed gentians, of the most amazing color. I hope you can stop by and visit.
Beautiful vase! Happy Blue Monday. :O)
Happy Blue Monday.

Love the ginger jar. I've been searching high and low for one. It's really hard to find ginger jars and apothecary jars in our area for some reason!
My first try to participate in Blue Monday.
Great jinger jars.I would like to have one myself.
Gunilla in Sweden
I love your blue jar. I'm beginning a collection myself...I'd love this one! Thanks for having this party, it's always so much fun to see all things blue!
Lovely ginger jar Sally! I've used your little secret to elevate things on top of cabinets as well--works like a charm doesn't it?
