Blue & White Bash: My Favorite Blue & White Christmas Ornaments

Happy December!  I hope you all had a FABULOUS Thanksgiving with your friends and family.  

THE PINK PAGODA!!!

Today, we are linking up with my friend, Jennifer, at THE PINK PAGODA for a Blue and White Bash.  I just love this little party she throws... it always provides such amazing BLUE AND WHITE inspiration from the other bloggers who participate... so if BLUE AND WHITE is your thing, this is a morning you will not want to miss!

For those of you who celebrate Christmas, I am letting you in on my little Christmas ornament secrets this year and sharing my favorite Blue and White additions to my current collection.  Personally, I love the look of very elegant decorations... My Christmas tree is always in the living room so I like the decor to reflect that room of the house.  However, "elegant" doesn't always mean expensive. When you can mix Neimans with Walmart... you have the best of both worlds.

Here are my TOP 5 ornament selections for CHRISTMAS 2014!

Neiman Marcus

Walmart

Harriet Damave Hand painted Delft

Sudha Pennathur at Harrods

Baccarat Crystal Snowflake

And sometimes, there is nothing more gorgeous than the simplicity of a solid ornament in the perfect shade of navy blue...  possibly with a luxurious silk ribbon attached.

Christmas Central

All of these amazing ornaments can be purchased by clicking directly on their links.

Now, don't forget to the visit THE PINK PAGODA and check out all of the other fabulous Blue and White contributions today!

Happy Monday!!!

Happy Monday, Friends!
