This storage box was available in several colors. Of course, blue was my choice. My husband collects gold stamps which come in boxes. This blue box will provide a good place for storage until he inserts the stamps into the books.
My granddaughter, Mallory, made this pot holder for me. She didn't have many blue loops but knows that blue is my favorite color so used all of her blue loops in my pot holder. Do you remember making potholders?
I really like this primitive porcelain pitcher. It looks like it was well used as some of the blue trim is wearing away.
My husband grew up in rural Hill Valley. Hill Valley isn't even on the map. Imagine my elation when I found this crock to add to my collection that is inscribed in blue with "Hill Valley."
Blue is my favorite color and each Monday I look forward to seeing so many beautiful blues. I'd like to thank Sallie at http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ for hosting Blue Monday. Please visit Sallie and find your way to some wonderful Blue Monday posts

I sure do remember making potholders. I wish I had that thingy to make some more. You have a sweet grandma to make this extra effort for you. Your pitchers are nice too; I really like the one in your header! (I think I've told you that before. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday!
Beautiful photos today. I love crocks, my mom and grandmother always had them sitting around on the kitchen counters. Brings back lots of sweet memories.
Hugs,

What a sweet potholder. I wasn't sure if anyone still made them. I really like your crock!
Great blue items - the crock is pretty special!
Hi Sweetie,
I love the potholder your granddaughter made for you, so special. The crock is really wonderful. Have a great Blue Monday!!
Love your blue post. I love blue too! Thank you for visiting my blue monday. Hope you have a Happy Blue Monday!
I bet I made 100's of these. I used to love doing that. What a fun Blue Monday Post. I enjoyed your items today. Have a great day.
Great blue! I love that pitcher!
Do you know I never made potholders? I remember some of the girls in girl scouts doing them, I opted for a different craft involving popsicle sticks. lol!
Have a wonderful day!
The box is great. It can have so many uses. Since I also love blue, I enjoy your blue Monday. I always hope you are not blue also though. Hope you got lots done on the skateboard project and it comes to pass. As usual, I am thinking of you.

How exciting to find that crock!!
I remember those potholders too...geez it sure has been a while.
I love that pitcher too. It would look so pretty with field flowers in it I think.
Thank you for sharing your lovely blues.
Have a lovely day.

Love the crock and what a fun thing to find for your husband. I also like the blue basket for the stamps and your other items. I love blue!
I love the pot holder . I made some as a kid and sold them to neighbors for .25c. And I did not know to tie the last loop. And one neighbor told me it fell apart in the washer.
Hi Sweetie! I love your blueness this morning. Oh, the little potholder brought back memories. My daughter used to make those and then sell them to our neighbors for 25 cents!
Be a sweetie, Sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh, I love all your blues..especially the pot holder!!:O)
I have a small collection of crocks so I enjoyed seeing your Hill Valley one...

Hope this day finds you well. Loved seeing all of your lovely blue things, espcially the blue crockery and pitcher. Seeing the sweet potholder made by your granddaugter Mallory brings back such fun memories for me. I remember spending hours creating those potholders when I was a young girl. Thanks for sharing such a lovely post today..

Have a nice evening.

Sweetie, I was gone most of the day and didn't get to visit many posts today. Love all of your blue today but the potholder and the Hill Valley crock are my faves. How great to find that special crock.
Hugs...Jeanne
