Just a quick post of shabby but pretty images for your delectation ..........

 Venetian loveliness..........

Escutcheon beauty ..........

Lace love ..........

Shabby shutter ..........

CRYSTAL DROPS and GUSTAVIAN CLOCKS ........

Don't you just love these Gustavian clocks ? I'd have one in any colour.....Oooo , this one just happens to be grey !!

Here's another one in the most wonderful house.

I arranged for the sunbeam to stream in for this photograph !

Some amazing crystal drops and Oh Grandma, what a big sofa you've got !!

.......... beautiful painted cupboard ..........

This is probably the closest I'll get to a gustavian clock. A picture of one. It still looks good though.

I love this room, don't you ?

Oh, maybe I could afford this one...

.............. and finally, a massive, neglected chandelier,

What a delightful combination crystal drops and gustavian clocks make,

Jackie.

FANTASY BLUE HOUSE..........

Welcome to The Blue House....come through the iron front gate and up to the front door.........

.......... through the inner door, which has a welcoming country bunch of flowers and you step into............

.......... the Hall........ smells gorgeous, doesn't it ? That will be the pot pourri
in the large bowl on the table. You would like to use the telephone.........

.......... feel free.....do you know how to use these retro phones ?......... while you're doing that I'll just be in the kitchen..........

............. Ah, there you are. Did you manage O.K., .....Good......Let's have a nice cup of tea.......Ah, good. I see that Fortnum and Masons have delivered. We will be enjoying some of the contents of that hamper later......

.......... I'll just reach up and get one of these cups , sorry, what's that......you would rather have a cup and saucer ? No problem. I'll organise it.
Just got to dry one up....could you pass one of those tea towels over on the stool ?
Blueberry cake with your tea ?..........

Bring your tea and cake through to the dining room.....can you manage?

............... right, finished ? Come and see the rest of my Blue house..........

.......... this is the lounge. Lovely, isn't it ? and the flowers are from the garden......

............... come through the sitting room and pop your head into the Conservatory....we eat out there sometimes ...........

.......... now, up the stairs, follow me ..........

............ this is the pale blue room, just poke your head round the door. I think someone's in there ......

.......... this is the main bedroom ..........

.......... and this is the en suite to the main bedroom ..........

.......... another bedroom.... rather special this one don't you think ? ..........

..........OOooooo I think that it's someones birthday in this bedroom .......... Happy Birthday, sorry to disturb you ..........

....Oh, they must have been celebrating in the family bathroom as well !!!! .....
O.K....... that's upstairs. Shall we go and have a look at the conservatory ? ..........

.......... looks as if the celebrations have been going on in here. A good place for a party.......... come and have a look outside .....

.......... if you would like to put a pair of wellies on , we'll go and look at the garden and sit at the outside table .....

.......... Oh good, they have lit the candles and I don't think that it will be long before dinner is served. I hope that you have enjoyed looking around my Fantasy Blue House and that you will be a regular visitor.
