Now any of you that follow my blog on a regular basis, know that my favorite place for bargains is my neighborhood Fry's grocery store. I love a GOOD bargain, but let me tell you this one, was a GREAT bargain. I strolled in for my weekly groceries, and couldn't believe that their Christmas was 80% off. What did my little blue eyes but see, just waiting on the shelf for little old me? Just take a look. I was so excited, I scurried over as fast as my little feet would take me and not only did I snatch up the vase, but I also snatched up the candlesticks to go along with. Oh my gosh. Ladies, you are not going to believe me, but yes it is true. I got this gorgeous vase for $5.50, yes that is right. And the candlesticks, we each $2.25. I was so excited. I love it, and it can be used year round. Blue is not just a (1) season color, as we all know here at Blue Monday. Now isn't she just the most beautiful thing ever?
I had a little mirrored tray that needed a place to be, and she found her place, just waiting under this beautiful blue vase. I went to Michael's and found the little bachelor button type flowers with the green whisps and thought they added just the right touch. I love it.
And this my lovely friends, is my Blue Monday post. As always, thank you for stopping by my little piece of heaven here in the desert, that I so love to call home. Country hugs and much love,

I LOVE Frys. They have the best "stuff" sales! The blue is beautiful and so pretty on the tablecloth!!
Beautiful! I got a whole set of plates a couple of years ago at my Food Lion on clearance for .50 cents a plate! It was awesome!!
Blue is my colour! Love your story about that great bargain. You have good taste and the talent to arrange it all together. Valentine is around the corner and that's a good thing. Thank you for the cheerful post; I needed that.

I just love that vase! And such a deal you got. It all looks very nice together.
Blue is Beautiful...especially when you get it for a FewPrettyPennies'. I sure wish I could Fly by Frys...we don't 'GotOne'! I guess I'll have to dig in the back of the HomeDecor Store where I'll be workin for the next two weeks. There I got in the answer to your ???. Altho, not going to be as good a bargan as yours, I'll get some good deals. That's the advantage of being the SubstitueBoss. I'll be checkin in to see what you're up to. I'll email you when I mail your Plate!
The absolute perfect Blue Monday post! I can't believe this was a Christmas markdown--perfect for all year! The flowers you picked are just the thing it needed!

Hello beautiful, darlin Sherry!
I love your blue vases, what a deal. They look like mercury glass.
Be still my heart. I'm not a very big blue person, but I would change my mind real fast if you want to give those to me. LOL
I love your choice of flowers too, so sweet. Looks just like ones that I would pick.
Your little candles are so sweet too.
You are just a doll and I always love coming to see you.

What a great find and how you have them displayed is very nice!
wow. Lady, you can SHOP!
Great finds. And I love your blue log cabin quilt...is it silk?
lovely blue vignette!
Very Pretty - You got a good deal. Cobalt blue is my favorite shade of blue. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there! I feel I've been away so long. I just posted again and it shows why I've been away. Been busy.
Sorry you have been sick. Since my surgery my doctor has had me taking lots of vitamins and it's helped. Hope you get all better soon.
We had some the coldest days we have had in years. The snow finally melted and then it began to rain. At least it's warmer now. We had a couple of really warm days.
Hubby has not been doing too well this past week. Trying to get the diabetes under control.
I'm off to read blogs. Take care dear. Love ya!
Great finds--they are very pretty!!
Wow! Great deal .... might even be the deal of the century!
Have a great blue Monday!

Today was sluggish, to say the least for me ... spent 1/2 the day in bed ... just whacked yesterday & today. Nasty rains you had, finally arrived here.

Soooo nice, everything goes together at the right price, so beautiful. Wish we had a Fry's in Michigan. Happy Monday!!!
Nothing you do surprises me. You have a head full of great ideas. Those vases are truly beautiful and the way you used them looks very pretty.
Awesome! I love these so much!
Makes me happy for you.

I like your new blue vases, such a cobalt blue. Very pretty flowers. Reminds me that Valentine's day is around the corner, the valentine pic a nice touch.
Now, I'll have to search my photo archives for blue theme. It's heavy rain and wind in the northeast, perhaps I'll find a sunshiny , summery photo.
Happy Blue Monday.
Wow, fantastic bargains, Sherry. The Frys we go to is not one of the super stores. I'll have to go check out one of those.
Happy Blue Monday.
Charlotte
The blue vases are stunning! I'm always one to snag up a bargain.

Hi there Sherry! Thanks so much for checking out my blog and giveaway. Our friend Nancy at Nancy's Tidbits won! I'm going to try to do a giveaway every week or so.
Love your cute little blog! My fave place to bargain shop is the grocery store too! Love all the treasures you found!
I love a great bargain and it looks like you hit the mother lode here with yours! The vase and candlesticks are beautiful and I love the PB quilt too!
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for becoming a follower! I'm so glad you did since it lead me here to yours! I love your blog and am going to sign up to follow as soon as I am done here.
Happy Blue Monday!
Oh, my mother collects these blue, she would be beside herself along with you!
Gosh Sherry, I looked at that blue vase and the candlesticks and thought how they would be so perfect here at The Hut. I mean what goes better with beachy things than blue?
Your display is just perfect and you gave me a great idea of what to do with a baby quilt I bought at Cracker Barrel years ago. It would be lovely on a small table I have. You always have great ideas!
I'm having a giveaway and knowing you, I think you're going to love it! I should link it up to Blue Monday because its BLUE!
Happy Blue Monday and if you ever get tired of that blue set…you know where to find me! lol
aww great deals! lovely :)

Hi Sherry~
Love,love,love the baby blue quilt from PB/GW...such a deal! And the blue vase and candle holders are just beautiful. Love the blue flowers and wisps you found at michaels to go with them. Very celebratory.
Happy Blues~
~Wow! Everything is so beautiful in blue Sherry! *Smiles*
Blue is my favorite color of all time. You certainly got a fabulous bargain and we all love to get a bargain. Your decorating is beautiful. The blue really accents the Valentine red. Keep creating...
Can't believe the deal you got on all your blue - it looks so pretty!
Thanks for stopping by today - you know I did not even think about paper mache or anything like that for my topiary - it would probably have saved my poor thumb and a couple of other smaller burns in the process! If (when) I make another I will give that some serious thought!
Following you back -
Happy Monday -
Wow Sherry, gorgeous, just gorgeous. You have a great eye!
Such a pretty blue centerpiece! Great pictures, toO!
Big TX Hugs,

Have a wonderful week!
