A Box of Cobalt Blue
February 28, 2012
I love vintage tablecloths and cobalt blue glass vases.
My Grandma always called these colorful print tablecloths, lunch cloths. I have quite a few lunch cloths that I picked up for the beautiful designs but I don't use them much. I hate ironing. When lunch cloths were in style, women definitely did a lot of ironing.
This lunch cloth is a beauty, poppies, daisies and bachelor button or cornflowers. Not sure what the yellow flowers are.
I had a little wooden shadow box with a bead board bottom that I just re-painted a creamy white and added handles to the sides. I distressed it a bit. I think it will make a great vignette box.
Here my white box full of cobalt blue vases.
These vases aren't especially expensive or rare but displayed all together, the cobalt blue color is quite beautiful! I hope you enjoyed my little vase collection!

ReplyDeleteThat color really pops! I love them all grouped together like that.
I used to collect my mom's old Noxema glass jars because I loved that cobalt blue so much.
Sure wish I would have kept them now!
Have a wonderful weekend. Great post!
Gorgeous. What a great idea. I have tons of ruby glass. I will have to borrow your idea.
ReplyDeleteI am also in love with cobalt blue glass. You should check out my blog header, you'd be in heaven! I love the way you grouped them in that drawer and with that vintage cloth, just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove your cobalts! I too love them and have several like yours. I don't worry about the monetary value, I just LOVE the color.
