Decking the Blue and White

My blue and white thrifted collection meets Santa and the snowmen. Call it decking the blue and white shall we?


At this point I never see the blue and white ever leaving this three drawer chest. Christmas decor just gets crammed in! Maybe it is the Southern way. More is better. More butter, more bread, more blue and white, more Christmas decor. You get it. What do you want more of in decor?



The snowmen were purchased from a Lenox outlet. What chubby monkeys they are...love em. One is shy and is hiding in the shadows and got cropped.


This Santa appears one eyed...Ha! Maybe his beard needs a trim. The Santa ornaments came from an estate sale months ago.

  1. I think it all looks good tucked in amongst the blue and white. That one eyed Santa maybe a pirate.

  3. I won't be decorating this year because our things are in storage in preparation for a move to Idaho. So, it does me good to enjoy Christmas through beautiful blogs like yours!

    Blessings,

  11. There's a reason blue lights are always on the multi-colored sets and this just shows why. Red and blue...does it get any better.

    P.S. Go take a look at Laura's blue with Christmas reds at White Spray Paint. You girls are kindred spirits.

  22. Love this vignette Olive. That little snowman is sooo cute! I don't think I've ever seen the Lenox snowmen. That's what I do with a lot of Christmas decor-just tuck it into what is already there. Of course, I'm a Southern gal too. laurie

  27. Olive, I absolutely love your blue/white porcelain! It is classic and beautiful. I have a large Santa whose beard was always covering up his eye and he looked weird. I finally got out the glue gun and tamed his moustache. Much better now! Hope you're enjoying the season- I'm almost done decorating! :-) Sue
