My Aqua Blue Heaven

Well, it's Friday and I don't know about you guys, but it's been a particularly long and rather on the craptacular side and weird sort of week. Hows about some vintage aqua crap to get this partay started? Good. No chatty, just the facts. Enough with the blahbity-blah already, let's rock and/or roll.

This is gonna be another long one~ (that's what she wishes she said) with a whole lotta pictures going on. I think today may be even more bandwithier than my last post. I'm getting out of hand and must be stopped.

Today's Aqua Blue Heaven theme is serve ware- dish sets, platters and serving dishes. Joy! Fun for the houesewifey types, boring for the menfolk here, I bet. (Don't worry, fellers- I'm planning on a manly theme for you coming up soon, so you male types can go back to watching your ping pong matches or Field and Stream magazines or dry humping your Bo Derek posters or whatever it is that you do.)
