Blue and White is not the only china...


...that I own
although it has felt like that recently.

I have become stuck in a rut
and I feel as though it is time
to make some changes.

I will need to be brave
and there are sure to be days
when I get
discouraged or distracted.

But I don't want to live
with a restricted palette
when there is a whole rainbow out there.

    we broke a beloved blue pasta bowl last night, one of a set of four, I had a few moments of china grief as I know they are discontinued until E said we could get one in a different colour, that would look lovely, and you know I thought he was right. we shall be brave together....

  5. Tulips! Yay!
    As for blue and white - its beautiful, so of course its worth having, but then rainbows are beautiful too
    I'm sure it won't need too much bravery....

  7. Alice, because of you, I too have been brave. I bought an old Prussian blue(?) bowl it sits, full of paper white bulbs in my sunny kitchen. Venturing to think beyond pink I now have an "Alice Bowl". Beautiful peek into you home there!

  11. There is indeed a world of colour out there. So why are my cupboards filled mostly with plain white china? So practical. So elegant. *SO* boring.

    I love the tiny drawing on your wall. We have a few of those too.
