Blue Monday/ or Blue Birdies/ Blue Dresses

It's time for another Blue Monday! Our hostess is Smiling Sally http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/ be sure to visit her lovely blog for more Blue Monday posts.
This cute pic was taken last year at my daughter's ice show. The theme for our show was Under the Sea and pictured with my daughter (wearing the blue dress) are some of the little girls that she coached. I love the darling little blue dresses these little girls are wearing and how excited they are to be performing in the ice show. You can see the one little girl holding her nose, because during their number they pretended to be going under water.

I found these cute little birds in the nest several years ago and I never tire of them. Right now they are sitting on a vintage sewing machine that my hubby made a new top for.




This box was a gift several years ago and again I still love it! Right now, it's sitting on top of our Ar moire in the living room. Thanks again for stopping and sharing my oh so Blue Monday.

    Your daughter is very pretty; so are those outfits.

    I love the birds, and I can see why you do too.

    That container must be eye candy sitting up there.

    Happy Blue Monday.

    Hi Cindy.

    Thanks for stopping by and leaving your kind comments! By the way, my mom is the youngest of 6, with 5 older brothers. You can imagine that my grandmother was in heaven when she arrived although I'm quite sure that my uncles didn't know what ot make of her! My mother's oldest brother was 18 and serving in WWII when he go the word that he was a brother...again! Needless to say, I have many cousins that are as old as my parents! (I enjoyed reading about the baby shower you hosted for your sister.)

    How precious are those little girls? And your daughter is quite the beauty. A friend invited me to go ice skating when I was 9 years old but sadly I spent most of the time on the ground. After three weekends of trying and some very sore body parts I gave up. Love the birdies and the Shaker box! Have a great day!
