@stevieb Nope.  I love blue but for me, this is too much blue.

[CANDLEQUEEN]

Pretty, but too many patterns for me.

I like blue, but I'm glad there is some white to break it up.

@stevieb: You know I’m a sucker for your “blue posts” especially when it’s straight out of my china cabinet (sans the fresh pears) LOL - keep ‘me coming - beautiful !

@Spacrazy  Glad you like them... I have some of the Calico pattern too... Back in the day, the TJX stores used to get some beautiful dishes: Queensware, Spode, 'designer' china and so on... I was lucky enough to land some great dishes at good prices... I don't see things like this at those store much anymore...

Delightful, @stevieb.  What a connoisseur's eye you have for lovely china and tablescapes...

Thanks @Oznell I have a weakness for dishes and have stopped collecting, as I have too many and can't ever use what I have... Not even to mention, there's simply no more room for collections... I rarely set a pretty table, as I suspect is the case with most of us, but it's still nice to see pretty dishware and to see the occasional beautifully set dining table...

I have tons of blue and white:  Spode blue room dishes; vases and ginger jars; garden stools; an umbrella stand; ceramic Oriental fish pots, etc.  It is pared down and mixed n and is not a country look, but more modern.  But it works with everything!

@Sooner  I love blue and white... Have all sorts of blue and white accessories and pieces in all sorts of shapes, sizes, patterns, and so on... And yes, it does work with everything, no matter one's personal style... I'e always been a fan... The interesting thing about me and blue is that I'm not a huge fan other than in accessories and dishware... I like blue, but don't use it much to decorate with, as far as furniture, window coverings, etc. goes...
