What's in your blue and white?

Hi!  Today I am linking up with Jennifer at The Pink Pagoda for her Blue and White Bash.
You don't want to miss the other links either...lots of inspiration!
Today I am showing you how I use my blue and white porcelain in everyday life.


I love the dragons on my bumbershoot stand. It holds a few antique walking sticks, umbrellas and a cane.
Across the entryway is a table with a collection of blue and white porcelain and I like to keep a magnifying glass handy here. It may house my husband's car keys, receipts and glasses from time to time too.
Speaking of car keys, I throw mine into a different antique bowl by the back door.


Just below that, I plop my purse on the garden seat.


The Foo dogs use their derriere's to hold a few books in place.


I have opted to use blue and white tea towels in my kitchen ever since I had my own and a tiny blue and white bowl of Kosher salt is always handy in my kitchen.
Last Mother's day I got these fab blue willow canisters to house my kitchen staples.
Oh and of course, flowers!

    Love it all, especially *those canisters*!!! I just purchased my fist blue and white umbrella stand the other day--who knew a girl could get so excited over an umbrella stand?!

    I love how you use your blue and white. Some of mine is on display and some of it is waiting for flowers and such.

    I like to see pretties used not stored. You have put yours to good use, and I really like your umbrella stand. My father used to say "bumbershoot" too, so that made me smile.

    And this is why I love your blog. So if I set out a pretty blue & white bowl and put my keys in there every day I won't have to spend so much time digging around in the bottom of my purse? Awesome collection - looks great in your home Kerry!!
