Blue

It’s time for a color post. How about blue? It’s a color that doesn’t appear in my house except for blue and white plates I got in Chinatown NYC when I  visited a friend who lived there. Not thinking very far forward than my single lifestyle and frugal “first job out of college” budget at the time, I got a grand total of two plates. Oh, and there’s blue on some book spines on a shelf here. But that’s it. It’s not that I don’t like blue. In fact many of these images are stunning …

Turkish ceramic inkwell from a One King’s Lane Tastemaker Sale. Some lucky person now owns this:

If I ever took a pottery class again, I would try to copy it. Of course I also wouldn’t mind if someone gifted me with a trip to Turkey to look for a set there …
