Welcoming Spring with blue and white

Our dining area has been used mostly for spreading out papers and looking over house designs lately.
I don't do well when the house is upside down, even one room, so I am glad to have the room back in order again.
First things first, change up the cupboard and give it a new look for awhile.

I love blue and white china as much as I love white ironstone so I gathered up all the blue and white to fill the step-back cupboard. As you can see I don't have a lot but I am still on the hunt to add to this collection. Yes, I have been purging household items but that doesn't mean I can tame my dishaholic...ism.

This delft tea-cup is my latest treasure.

Did you know that Paul McCartney's first wife, Linda collected blue and white china? I think she had a love of yellow, also. She was a vegetarian and I have one of her cookbooks from many years ago. The cover tells you a lot of her love for blue and white dishes. I love looking at each piece so lovingly placed on her huge wooden cupboard. I find it so homey, so inviting.

Here is a cookie that goes great with tea in any colour of cup.

I hope you can read my writing. If not, let me know and I will type it out for you.

Lily is soaking up the sun this morning in the yard. Hope you are having a great day, too.
