Are you a member of the blue and white club? And a blue and white contest!

Hello and happy late afternoon....we are having the most spectacular fall weather, loving it! It's just enough for a light sweater or jacket, perfecto:) If you are like me and love blue and white, then you my friends, have indeed come to the right place!

 I announced the other day the start of my "Blue and white love" contest. This is one contest I am crazy excited about having and I promise to find a glitch free poll to upload when the time comes to make voting easy!! The rules are simple and I hope to any of my fellow blue and white lovers that you will consider sending in your pictures. Today is a perfect excuse to share some more blue and white love....does it ever get old? I say no! I have already gotten in some pretty amazing pictures.......

It is classic, timeless, always elegant and literally works inside, outside in any style home. I have seen it look amazing in more transitional homes as well as it does in very traditional ones. It is just a sure thing. So take a look at some blue and white love that I have been enjoying in many shapes, forms and ways.........

My motto is there is no such thing as too many blue and white pillows:)


Oh my word...blue and white is sooo beautiful. It is one thing that  always leaves me happy, and I seem to have my blue and white radar on 24/7.  Just love it! How about you? How do you like to use blue and white? So, onto the contest details.....


My contest theme for November is not surprisingly "Blue and white love". You know what that means..send in your pictures of your blue and white anything...however you love to display it or use it in your home, your favorite vignette, a beautifully displayed ginger jar, your plate collection, your blue and white nails, your pet wearing a blue and white something....whatever it may be.

Max. 2 pictures per entrant, please in subject line of email put "Blue and white love". I will collect pictures up until Nov. 1st . The contest will run on Nov. 4th for 2 days. Thanks in advance and I cannot wait to start receiving your pictures...I  know they will be fabulous!

Email me your pictures to theenchantedhome@gmail.com.

The lucky winner will be getting something that is blue and white and fabulous!


Thanks for stopping in. Be sure to check back on Thursday,  I have some stupendous steals and deals to announce and new gorgeous fall colors for the Annabel Ingall totes..lots of good stuff! Enjoy your day:)

  4. Your contests really get your readers inspired and we're ashamed to say that our blue and white has been traded for brass and lucite! :( We'll have to dig up some pictures of our old house to submit.

  7. Such beautiful examples of blue and white...I like the photos from your home the best! Sadly, not a lot of blue and white in my house, but this inspired me to consider redoing a room in blue and white. My posts tomorrow and Thursday will be filled with blue and white travel photos, though. :)

    Have a great night! xoxo

  14. You have stolen my heart, Tina....you know how I love blue, especially of the aqua sort...and you slipped in something here for EVERYONE, including a little more shabby blues and gray. But give me chandeliers any day and fireplaces, and I'm happy. You are fabulous because you speak to a special part of everyone of us. Thank you.AND I can breathe now because my husband found out yesterday that he IS NOT laid off. So....exposed beams, HERE I COME! tteeehehehehe

  22. Dear Tina sooo many gorgeous images and ideas of putting blue and white together.
    How long have I loved blue and white...when I was a young bride my Mother helped me work on a navy blue and white cross-stitched quilt! I always knew what I loved and also a pair of sleek ankle pants in navy and white poplin, I loved!
    Now pottery continues the tradition!

  23. Tina if anyone is qualified to hold a blue and white contest, its you. I consider you the queen! I will be sending in pictures soon (just waiting to put the finishing touches) on my room. So many incredible shots here, and of course your home are my favorites, you have such a talent, have you ever thought of publishing a book on blue and white? It seems to be more popular than ever. Enjoyed this very much, cannot wait to see what your readers send in.
