You know how much I love this cobalt blue. If my house is a story, cobalt blue is the punctuation.

And as you see, not all of it is Spode. There are glass pieces, and tile, and  Chinese porcelain cache pots. Even the carpet on my stairs is cobalt blue. It’s a deep, restful color and people have always recognized it’s intense beauty. But even the most marvelous museum pieces

can’t outdo nature,

which always amazes.

who knew lobsters came in this color?

And on a winter’s evening, everything is infused with cobalt light

for a few fleeting minutes before darkness falls. Have a great weekend!
