Blue Monday: A Cherished Memory


It's once again time for Blue Monday. Smiling Sally is our wonderful hostess...just click on the link to read the Blue Monday instructions. Then join us at the party.

My most cherished family heirlooms belonged to my maternal grandmother, not because they have monetary value, but because they belonged to her. She was a warm, loving comfort to me when I needed one the most. She has been gone since 1983 but I still miss her and think of her often.

Grandma's Milk Pitcher


It looks beautiful filled with yellow and white flowers, which I often fill it with during the summer. I'm looking forward to using it once again.

I'll bet it does look grand filled with yellow daffodils or forsythias. Jeanne has one to show you. Click on her link. Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.

I have many of my grandmother's things too - they mean a great deal to me. Happy Monday!

What a beautiful, bright blue! Yes, the fact that it belonged to your grandmother makes it even lovelier. I like the chickens, too.

Your grandmother's pitcher is great. It's so nice to have things that remind us of family. I also like the roosters.

When you get a chance, come over to my kitchen. I have an award to share with you.
