Well then you must get your hands on a copy of Carolyne Roehm's new book - A Passion for Blue & White. Look at this dreamy image from the book! I think my mother will flip out when she sees this post! I think this book would make for a wonderful Christmas gift! Jennifer over at The Peak of Chic has done a great post on the book today and Lily-G also posted about the book earlier this week too! Can't wait to get my copy!!

I used to have a huge collection of blue and white. One morning I woke up and decided it would all go. I sold it. Guess what? I'm kicking myself. So much so, that I'm collecting again...please send gifts of blue and white to Canada! (care of Liberty Post!)
these are gorgeous, I absolutely adore blue & white ceramics!
I love Blue and White, so classic and goes with so many decors, can make an elegant statement or cozy up a corner as a grouping.
I just love Carolyne Roehm, and how funny, I did a post on blue and white also. Love your post, Heidi

Blue and white pottery gives a vintage appeal to any decor. I love them! - Rekha
I cant wait to get my copy too, you did an amazing job on your Mum's home I fell in love instantly but then again I was always madly in love with your parents house, always very tasteful and she never stopped loving blue and white! I must admit its my favorite color scheme too! I remember when you just started decorating (was that over 10 years ago?) and you had just finished re-decorating your room, it was gobsmacking and I knew then that you had your mum's style!
I fell in love with Blue and White, from the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the kids breakfast is served on willow pattern-esque china. I have hungered for it ever since.
Cool blog by the way :)

Peoples' passion for blue and white is truly cross-cultural and generational. I import handmade and painted ceramics from Italy and Mexico and by far the most popular pieces are (you guest it) blue & white. I even created a section of my website dedicated to the sophisticated and always stylish color duo: EmiliaCeramics/Blue&White
Oops, here's the link to my blue and white pottery page: http://www.emiliaceramics.com/shop/index.php?cPath=71_74
Lovely picture and a great recommendation!
No matter how "minimal" my design tendencies can get, I always long for blue and white ceramics. It's so elegant and the fresh colors keep it timeless. I'll have to check out that book, thanks for the post!
what an inspiring blue and white collection, paired well with a white china cabinet with copper handles! Please check out my blogspot: http://blueandwhitehome.blogspot.com
