Off the wagon

Sadly, I think my minimalist moment has ended and I am shopping again. Dear lord, how did this happen?! I was doing so good for a while.

Oh right. It was the thrift store blue and white china. At least these were only a buck.

I'm not normally a huge fan of souvenir plates, but this one is from New Hampshire so I couldn't pass it up even if I wanted to. Which I didn't.



I think I fell for the back of the plate more than I did for the front. Not the first time nor the last.

Yesterday I roped Kristi into shooting a little blue and white table spread. It started off as something completely different and I kept on adding some blue in between shots, till, POOF... It was all about the blue and white.

As always.

  5. I have the same problem: one week it's purge, purge, purge, the next week I'm mapping optimal routes to 5-6 estate sales.

  6. I haven't been finding any good blue and white plates lately. They're always too pricey. I think the key here is you're finding them at "thrift stores" and I usually shop "antique stores" which means they get to charge more. Hrm.
