Country Blues

What could be more country than denim blue and white? I chose this theme for our little Shasta trailer because it's my hubby's favorite color and seemed a bit more rugged for a few days on the road. The large square pillows are Ralph Lauren and the quilt in the foreground is a family heirloom. I made up the ticking stripe curtains.

But rugged doesn't mean you can't stow along a few fun and diversionary things like my old issues of Victoria magazine, and a few interesting books. Inspiration doesn't stop just because you're on the trail!

While we don't take along the Johnson Bros Asiatic Pheasant china, we always have pretty vintage linens tucked away in the drawers.

But once we're back at home, the denim blue transferware still says "country" to me, and works well with my vintage blue rose tablecoth...

or any variety of white linens I want to show off with it.

Country blue transfers easily from being very informal and unfussy to being more dressed up.

I do tend to take a bit more care with my vintage country French transferware large bowled cup and saucer. Not quite as large as a French latte bowl, its large size offers a nice double cup of joe or hot chocolate.

Its marks and pattern never fail to give me a sense of faraway travels through time and space.

Wishing you a Country Blue Monday! Thanks for stopping by!

Ciao! for now!
