BLUE AND WHITE 4 LIFE

My computer got clean a few months ago, but this week, it relapsed. Too many photos and texts and life on it -- way too much for me to sort through. When she starts to sputter and spin, I just anxiously delete the biggest things I can find. During today's resuscitations, I stumbled on this photo from Furbish's Johnston St. store.

What a pretty moment, right? Loved that coral palm wallpaper, and that old wood china cabinet. We used to sell the best selection of blue and white dinnerware. Bowls, plates, trays and vases ... they were lovely to look through.

The party photos were from a lil spring thang I hosted on our glorious front porch in Raleigh. The best thing about the rental house I lived in on Glenwood, for just a year, was a huge porch, complete with swing and rocking chairs. Dinner parties were a blast - we could set up to 20 out there! Stacks of blue and white porcelain dinnerware are perfect to have on hand for entertaining - they mix with just about any linens, and they all go together just fine, so you don't have to worry about that full set of anything!
