Here is a cherished chalkware Infant of Prague statue presiding over a lovely vintage platter from the French Bleu Vintage store.
Some pale blue vase pebbles that I picked up at the craft store rest softly in this glass container:
I'm often drawn to china at thrift stores, but am particular about what comes home with me. These lovely blue flowered plates will look pretty on our outside patio table come spring:
This Limoges platter was a great find, and perfect for serving pastries:
I was fortunate to also come across this white serving basket. It will come in handy for Easter. All of these items came from my favorite local thrift store at bargain prices:
I'll be sure to post about my first spring party using these pieces. Counting the days...
Also to come...a 'reveal' post about our updated kitchen. I'm using items we have on hand, some transformed with paint, as well as handmade fabric touches to put together a French Farmhouse feel.
My husband appreciates the no-cost approach. :)
Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Susan:
LOVE the share. You are inspiring me to change my dining room to soft blues. I am HATING that room so much now but confused as to where to "go" with it and I think I found my answer!
