Good morning everyone! Blue Monday has rolled around once again and I'm going to show you something rather ordinary!
These are my every day dishes.
I also have several blue coffee mugs and a set of these blue glasses. I have four of the dark blue and four of the light blue coffee mugs. Anyone who has been following my blog knows that most of my decorating is in reds and pinks. So, you see, I do after all have some blue in my home!
Now I am going to share something extraordinary!
Exactly one month ago, it was my hubby's birthday and almost every year I bake him his favourite apple pie because he doesn't care for cake a whole lot. Me, I could eat cake every day of the week but anyway, we're talking about him here! This year instead of pie, I decided to make him a Trifle instead. As you can see from the photos, it has lots of pudding, sponge cake, whipped cream, and berries....blueberries! 
And of course, there were candles, at least one blue one! 
It really was better than cake! I only make this about twice a year..... Hubby's birthday and Christmas.

Hi Sandi,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award, will be doing a post tomorrow night so will proudly put it up then.
I love your blue & white china, very pretty. My hubby draws the line at pretty dinner ware for every day so we have plain white. But it does have it's advantages, it goes with just about every china wise that I have.

Oh, Sandi! That looks wonderful! And your dishes are so pretty. Happy Belated Birthday to you hubby, that lucky man!!!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Sheila :-)

Hi Sandi! The trifle you created is like art work :0) Beautiful job! I love trifle. Enjoy your sturdy dishes especially since they are blue!
ReplyDeleteCorelle has come out with many beautiful patterns over the years... and they are so durable.. it is nice with kids around and now that we are growing older and our reflexes are not what they used to be. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, great pictures and your trifle looks delicious!!!!!

Good morning, I'm stopping by to say hello, and Happy Monday (and for some, happy blue Monday or happy belated Pink Saturday - WHEW!)
ReplyDeleteThat trifle is to die for. And I like your corelle too - after seeing pink after pink, it gives the eyes a nice respite.
My blog topic today is about a man, a dog, a love story, and a bit about embroidery. Please stop by if you have a moment.

ReplyDeleteSandi,
ReplyDeleteThat was some lovely and delicious looking blue! Thank you for sharing it with us today!
This is right up there in my book as one of the best desserts. Trifles have it all....looks and taste!
ReplyDeleteChelsea and I were in the Corelle store this evening. She saw a pattern that she wants to collect for her hope chest.
Hello! I am not ready yet to blog as usual, it's just to say hello and thank you for your sweet comment!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked my Ocean pictures!
Beautiful dishes ;)
Smiles,
Monica.
The dessert look heavenly!! I like your blue dishes-- very practical but pretty.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandi, a day late but we have been traveling again today. I do love your dishes and Corelle has great staying power. I have a set of fruit Corelle dishes that I love. One thing is the thin dishes are easier to store. Your blue and white are very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe trifle looks so delicious. I bet your hubby loved it better than apple pie. Happy birthday to your hubby.
Hugs...Jeanne
Love the birthday trifle for your lucky DH! I made a birthday trifle once for a friend at work. :-)
