A Little Blue....

...shades of "blue" have slowly crept their way into my home....

...no big "splash" of color....

...just a calming influence on my previously neutral color scheme.

I scoured my home for ways to add more of it throughout Maison Petite Michelle Louise....

...all of the books pictured above were in a cabinet in my studio....

...it was time to let them "breathe."

This sweet plaque was found in my garage....

...it used to be in my garden.... 

...but has found a new home in my living room.

This lovely frame was part of a giveaway from the talented and delightful "Villabarnes." I just love the steel blue finish she created. 

I made this paper butterfly (it's actually a Moth) and found this petite butter pat in my pantry cabinets.

The gorgeous French Grain Sack pillow was another giveaway win from the amazingly talented Michele at "Summersoul." The pale blue stripe in the pillow inspired me to add more of it to my living room. 

I painted my dining room china cabinet last summer and just found this frame in my inventory....

...and painted it to match.

This serenely beautiful Immaculate Mary statue was a recent thrift store find for 18.00!!

I just adore her....

I painted her sash.... 

...to match the blue in her eyes...

I found this lovely Incolay Stone jewelry box at a flea market last Sunday....

...on the "Dollar Table"....

...along with THESE!

...(oui...oui...a dollar each!)

My dear Maman bought me some blue dishes for my birthday....

...I love the look of them alongside my old ironstone and my "every day" dishes.

This demitasse was a gift from my sister many years ago....

...I almost forgot I had it.

The blue"Gluggle Jug" was also a birthday gift as well.

This Frenchy wire caddy and bottles was a recent Home Goods find.... 

...I made some Frenchy labels to add to the bottles...

("Merci" Graphics Fairy!)

This trio of old bottles were a flea market steal for $5.00 all together!

One of them is marked "Boston", which is close to home...

I love the way the color catches the light through my kitchen window....

...and I love the way all of these shades of "blue"have not only crept into my home...

 but my heart as well.
