Blue Monday

Thoughtful Gift

My youngest brother married his sweetheart

this weekend. Prior to the ceremony my sister

gave each one of us three siblings

a very thoughtful gift. 

She gave each one of us a little blue Teddy Bear.

Earlier this year, our brother Tim was cruelly taken

from us. We have had quite a difficult year 

dealing with the separation and the legal system.

Both our parents had also passed away some years back
 - so we siblings were all we had. The sibling relationship

is one that lasts a lifetime.

My sister took some of my brother's shirts and had

a friend make these Teddy Bears. She found ribbons

with the color of the Irish flag. 
This sweet little Teddy Bear now has a home in
the Blue Room .

What a sweet gift to memorialize our love for each

other and for our brother.  

Our Teddy Bear - Tim

And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
 ⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:39-40

Fabulous Finds

I am loving this new Goodwill near my home.

Well, there’s nothing truly ‘near’, but this is

close enough!

When I go in I go directly to the back where

housewares are. I was amazed at my finds.

On the back end of the aisle was this

lovely blue and white pitcher 

I already had the smaller pitcher.
They're a cute pair.

a small creamy white pitcher,

I already had the larger pitcher. I didn't know until I arrived home
how well they matched.

 as well as

these four blue and white teacups, 

two of each design.

This lovely cup has matching pastoral scenes on each side.

this lovely cup has a hunting scene that encircles the teacup

I was in blue and white heaven!

I am decorating two rooms for

Christmas in blue and white.

These have a special place in my kitchen.
