Sometimes a touch of blue makes the perfect look.
These matching porcelain vases are amongst my most treasured possessions. The reason they are so special is because of the giver. Jane, a special person, gave them to me, and I think of her and thank God for her each time I see them.
They are signed, "Roger Tory Peterson" and numbered. The bottom states:
Kaiser of Germany
A private edition produced
exclusively for The Danbury Mint.
There is a band of gold on the top and bottom of each vase. The painting of the bluebirds is on both the front and the back.
Like my other blue and white collectibles, I've been keeping them in my china cabinet until we move into our new home. Next week, I'll show you the remaining blue and white pieces and let you see them all in the china cabinet.

They are beautiful, and more so to you since the giver is someone so special to you. Congratulations on having Jane in her life. The vases are a lovely bonus.
I meant to ask if you've had trouble with unpleasant comments or what made you decide to turn on the word verification feature. I hope nothing bothersome has occurred.
Love the vases!

Sally, those vases from Jane are EXQUISITE. She has lovely taste, and how perfect they are for YOU! I know you cherish them as well as the giver. Take it from a magpie, Jane really knows her stuff when it comes to shiny objects and shiny people. She's pretty shiny herself! ;-)

Evening, Most Smiling One! Oh, what beautiful vases you have! Perfect for Blue Monday with your little Blue Jay and all!
Now are you all packed and ready to move!? I'm so excited for you.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Sally...what wonderful gifts...anything with bluebirds totally captures my heart! What a sweet friend Jane is to give such a lovely gift! They are just beautiful! I need to come back so I can see the whole collection...I'm crazy about blue and white! :-)
Sally, I'm laughing at the comment you left on my blog! :) I am feeling the same way, but for different reasons. I actually knew you haven't posted daily, but when my blog list didn't update last week on Monday, I knew something major was going on. I was glad it was Blogger's problem and not that something had happened to you.
I've been checking my favorite blogs and not relying on the update feature. It sure is nice when things work as you expect them though.
those stuff are precious, honestly i don't know if i can take care like that fragile stuff...especially when there are kids like my nephew..c",)
Hi Sally, I'm still making my Blue Monday visits. Very pretty vases. Love your landscape around you new home.
Blessings, Shirl

I love the blue jay vases.
