Welcome to my Blue Monday. I’ve posted these dishes that I love before but not for Blue Monday and since they are very blue I will show them again. I have 4 place settings of these dishes that I purchased in 1984 at a Model Home furniture and accessories sale in my neighborhood in Ventura, California. They are English Chippendale by Johnson Bros. England. The set cost me $25.00.
To see more Blue or to join in the fun visit Sally our hostess here.
Photobucket is holding all my photos from 2007-2015 hostage on their site. All my photos that I stored and uploaded from that site are now big ugly black and grey boxes with a message to pay big bucks to get them restored to my blog. It will take me a long time to restore thousands of posts.
I so love these dishes, and the wonderful tablecloth underneath the dishes. Great blue monday post. I used to have lots of blue dishes in the 80’s and sorta grew out of that. Now, I find myself drawn to the blue dishes and bowls again. Very soothing colors.
There dishes bring memories from the year, when we lived in Scotland and went to visit families there.
They are beautiful dishes and make a special blue post!

What lovely dishes and what a lovely collage they make. There is something special about blue and white crockery. This was a enjoyable visit!
well, I really like that white napkin! too pretty!!
Your blue dishes are beautiful. You must love setting up the table with them! The lacy napkin is lovely too. Blue and yellow look so good together don’t they….very pretty.

Ooo, how beautiful they are, and you made such a nice composite of them. The tablecloth is a pretty one too. Happy Blue Monday.
I don’t remember seeing these before, and I definitely would; they are beautiful! I love blue and white. The settings you have done with them are wonderful.
Don’t forget to stop by my blog and enter the drawings this week!
Seems like there’d be rules about eating off something this artistic.
As beautiful as these are, my dear, you can blog about them ANYTIME and we will be happy to see them again. Oh, my…they are just lovely.
These are beautiful. I love the pretty blues. I have never seen these before so it is good you featured them again.
$25 was a steal! These are the pretties shade of blue and they look great on that table.
Your English Chippendale dishes are absolutely beautiful. You REALLY got a bargain. Your place settings are elegant.
