Hi Shann and fellow blue lover,
I too am in love with the colour blue. I have a blue kitchen and decor which always looks peaceful and calming. I've tried to be in love with all the other colours but always return to my fav...blue!!

To accomodate all my desires, I've had to contain my blueness to my country cottage look downstairs and keep the upstairs areas for the shabby chic pinks and greens - yeah strange decorating I know but somehow it does work.
Enjoy your blue day,
Hugs,
Kerryanne

I love the blue of the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California and fields of bluebells. I love the blue of the sky with white wispy clouds drifting by. I love the blue pad my mouse sits on!! I love the blue of a soft baby blanket with a child wrapped in it. I love the blue of my Mac desktop (its name is Max) and most of all I love the blue of my hubby's eyes when he looks at me lovingly. *Sigh*
Smoochies,
Connie

Rosanne said...

Hmmm I think you said blue 19 times! One of my favourite colour combinations is blue and brown, think bright blue sky and freshly dug soil.

Recycled Rita said...

I have been on a robins egg blue kick this year! I think Martha Stewart actually started my liking it a few years ago (pre-prison) But this year I am just hooked on it!
Please enter me in your drawing this tussie is wonderful!

Hmmmm..... what do you think I like about blue? Bluebirds, of course!
:)

Gail McCormack said...

I like blue, has to be duck egg blue or similar though, I painted a feature wall behind our stairs blue, no it was the wrong blue, I desperately need to change it.
Here's the first thing that came to my mind when you mentioned blue "Blue and Green should not be seen unless there's a colour in between" do you remember that one Shann, I bet not you're too young!

Michele said...

I love blue, too, and it's also my second favorite color...that and an aqua blue color. Pink, of course, is my most favorite color of all, though.

Anyway, my entire bathroom is done in white, cream, and blue. I love it, especially the white and blue soap dish, soap pump, towels, and toothbrush holder (that I keep little flowers in) that I got from my parents for my birthday a few years ago. Then on Ebay, I actually found the shower curtain ring-thingies. I was so happy to find those because this is a discontinued pattern.

I've always had a blue bedroom since I was about ten, and I'm now 38. My entire living room, and kitchen are also done in blue colors. I think blue is such a soothing and calming color, and it reminds me of the ocean, my most favorite place in the world to be.

I'd love to be entered in your giveaway!! It's so beautiful what you made!!!

Everything is beautiful as always Shannon! I actually love blue too! I have it all over my house. My grandpa's favorite color was blue. He had beautiful crystal blue eyes. My son Colton has those same eyes! I think the classic combination of blue and white is so romantic!

Love ya,
Amy

HI Shannon, its Noelle. Just dropping by to tell you that my swap package for you should be ready to send next week. I have had my hands FULL with my oldest home now for summer break:)

Oh, and my favorite BLUE thing- the bright blue sky on a warm summers day! Oh, and watching my lil Gage shake his booty when Blue's Clue's comes on tv- he is a HUGE fan!

Talk to you soon! Have a great weekend:)

I fell in love with blue and pale pink on the March 2008 Romantic Homes magazine cover, so much that I bought some blue paint and am going to redo the guest room in those colors. Kinda funny since my favorite color is green!

Sandy said...

Beautiful things-- I love blue and use in my bedroom and den. It is so relaxing and comforting.

Joanne Kennedy said...

Hey, I'm just like you! I love love love pink but I'm in the process of changing my bedroom to blues. Of course there will always be pink found in my room though.

I also love give aways! So you know what that means? I LOVE your post today.

If you have not yet joined my give away go check it out and see if you are interested. One of the items is a blue and white plate. But of course there is pink in there too with a cute pink rose tea cup and saucer.

Hugs,
Joanne

Ann-Denise Anderson said...

HI Shannon!
Ohhh, you know what color I love....egg blue, you know the color that is barely there with a tiny itty bitty tinge of beige. Very vintage like, I would say! Waiting to hear back from Dolly, I hope she liked the package.

Shannon,

Before I forget I have to tell you that I love your banner. I like how it has that cloudy(for lack of better word) look around the edges of the photo. And I love your blue things. I too like blue, second of course to pink. Happy weekend!!

Hi Shann,
I am loving blue too, well I mean I always have but it kind of went to the wayside when I fell in love with pink but blue and I are back together again. I am crazy about robins egg blue and aqua blue. How are things with you and your family? Missed ya.

Hugs,
LeAnn:)

COLLS GARDEN said...

Well, there you go. I always knew blue was THE colour. What about Wedgewood Blue, Sky Blue, Aquamarine (my engagement ring), Blue Moon (hee hee), Siamese Cat's Eyes, oh the list goes on...
Mwah :-}

Pearl said...

Hi Shann... what a pretty post with all of the goodies! I hope everything is going well in your part of the world...

My most favorite "Blue Thing" would have been my Father's eyes. They were bright and sparkled in the sun and whenever he laughed. They were gentle and caring whenever I needed to talk with him about things. I smile at so many of the precious memories I have of him... thank you for reminding me to think of his blue eyes one more time... God bless.

~hugs~
