Thank you to everyone who stopped by here at
bleu hydrangea after my first post! It's exciting to see some Followers on that sidebar, too. :-)
Right after Christmas, before I purchased my new camera, I took some shots around my house to capture the beauty I see from day to day.

I love this hat box, bought at Target on clearance 13 years ago. I remember buying it when my 13YO was tiny. It sat on a shelf in the nursery for a long time, but now it houses flowers for crafting. |

Our house, built in the 1920s, features these glass doorknobs on all interior doors. |

We upgraded to a queen size mattress only last year (we had a full-size before that). I love the romantic, vintage style comforter from Bed Bath & Beyond. It reminds me of Anna Griffin stamps and papers. |
Thanks for joining me!

These photos are gorgeous, Colleen! I especially love that Ball canning jar, the cobalt blue glass (is that not the most perfect shade of blue?), and the glass door knobs--those remind me of the ones throughout my grampa's house when I was growing up!! Beautiful, all. :)
I just love your Ball jar. I collect them myself. I just love trying to get photos of them also.. Such wonderful photos my friend..
Lovely photos! You have a beautiful home. I'm enjoying your new blog!
