My love of blue and white, which is obvious in just about every post I write,
started out as something else.
It began because my mother had blue and white pieces throughout her home
and because I live in South Texas.
Why does living in South Texas have anything to do with anything?
Because I also love cobalt blue and cobalt blue is a key color in Mexican glassware
and pottery which is predominant where I live.
I will show you what I mean someday soon .
And so this table setting for a recent birthday dinner I hosted
made perfect sense to me.
These colors working together , as I shared here, are old friends.
In fact, so were the guests!
Our covered dish menu?
Wild Rice and Chicken Casserole
Fresh Brussel Sprouts
Green Bean Casserole
Fruit Salad
Strawberry Congealed Salad

ReplyDeleteThat's one of my favorite color schemes. Your table looks so inviting, I should like to sit down there right now!
ReplyDeleteLaura,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed visiting your blog - this table is so beautiful. I too love cobalt blue and especially blue glass. I pinned your table for inspiration.

What a gorgeous table setting! I like cobalt blue too. Love those bird luncheon plates! And I'm intrigued by the name "strawberry congealed salad" -- what exactly makes it "congealed"?
ReplyDeleteI've always enjoyed yellow and blue together. Our new daughter in love has quite a cobalt blue collection of glassware. It was the accent color at my son and her wedding, too.
ReplyDeleteLovely table that you created.
What can I say, other than...dazzling! I love these big bold colors together, Laura.
ReplyDeleteI love the yellow and white plates with the birds! I find blue, white, and yellow a very happy combination!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely set table! I have two (I think, unless I broke one) of the bird plates but mine are red and white.

ReplyDeleteLaura this is so pretty! I love those yellow dishes! They are so bright and cheerful and add such a bright pop of color!
ReplyDeletethose yellow plates are so pretty
ReplyDeleteProbably I have Mexican ancient roots and I do ignore it at all {{smiles}}, I also do love cobalt blue and white, my kitcken is full of transferware decorated with these two colours !
ReplyDeleteHope your week is off to a great start, I wish you wonderful days to come, dearest Laura,
sending blessings to you
