Hello. I'm glad you joined us for Blue Monday!
To participate: just click here for BLUE MONDAY INSTRUCTIONS.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My favorite color is
Blue. It's also my husband's favorite color. In fact, it's the world's favorite color! True. More people choose
Blue than any other color as their favorite.
Bloggers are often surprised to realize that my house is not chock full of
beautiful Blues. Oh yes, I have some
Blue, but it doesn't dominate my home. Today, I'm sharing a part of my kitchen. You can see from this picture that I collect apples, but they're not certainly not
Blue!
I have an amazingly talented granddaughter, Ara, who made this pizza man figurine from salt dough when she was about eleven years old. I was delighted that it made the two moves--first from South Florida to the rental and then to our new home--and stayed in one piece. It's quite fragile, so I've placed it inside a cloche, and it sits beside my stove.
Did you notice the
Blue pants? Here's a close-up.

Good morning Sally, I arrived home last night after a rain filled drive home from KY. I did manage to do a blue post about my grandson's birthday.
ReplyDeleteI love the cloche. It is a new item in your home. I remember your first cloche post. I still smile about how that came about. I love the little pizza guy and how you featured him in your cloche. He is original and very well done. Ara is definitely talented in the art dept. Quite an accomplishment for an 11 year old. He has 'great' expression.
I'll be in touch later this week.
Hugs xoxo, Jeanne
Hi Miss Sally,
ReplyDeleteLast Friday I wore blue. My linky is not your average Blue Monday but it is my heartfelt wish that it will bless whomever needs it.
Thank you for hosting.
That's adorable! I love cloches! I am sure your granddaughter loves the attention you place on things she makes.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless,
Kathy
And he can spin that pizza dough to! Cute as pie, uh...I mean pizza, guy!
ReplyDeleteI love that pizza man. Really attractive
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely home. The little pizza guy is just the cutest. Your GD did a super job on him. A real keeper with that in his little blue pants.
ReplyDeleteYour grand daughter is indeed very talented! Happy Blue Monday. Mary
ReplyDeleteYour pizza man is so cute, and a great reminder of a special, talented grand daughter. Sally
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sally, I love how your pizza man looks so cute in your kitchen...a great addition..wonderful artwork..Have a good day.... hugs, Baba
ReplyDeleteYour pizza man sure is cute, Sally. Your granddaughter is very talented and creative...Christine
ReplyDeleteThat is cute! And even more precious because of who it is from.
ReplyDeleteLove his expression, the eyebrows say it all! Cute and extra special! Can make you smile every time you look at it!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

HA! That last comment was really from me, Kathryn. I didn't realize my husband was signed into google and not me until I posted. HA! Bet you were wondering who Robert was!
ReplyDeleteSorry!

ReplyDeleteHappy blue Monday Miss Sally. That little pizza man is just precious. I bet it is one of your most prized possessions.
ReplyDeleteYou have a terrifically blessed day sweetie! :o)
Hello ~ I finally had a nice picture with blue in it, but was unable to post it. Was it because I was trying to link at 10p. West coast time?...and Monday posting was closed?
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad the pizza man made it safely from home to home! He looks pretty cute standing inside his cloche home!
Blessings,
Sandi
Sally your little pizza guy is just adorable! I can see why you love him so much and especially since he was especially made for you ♥ Your kitchen is beautiful. Sooo pretty! I hope you are having a good week.
ReplyDeleteThat is just too cute Sally! I should be back to playing along in a few weeks if all goes well :)
ReplyDeleteLove the pizza man. I haven't stopped by in so long I am ashamed. I get busy doing other things and do not visit other blogs like I should. I haven't forgotten you--just neglected you.
ReplyDeleteHi Sally! You had me at PIZZA!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving such sweet comments about the chickens. Have a beautiful weekend! ~ xo Joy
