Decorating with Blue and White Ceramics

The truth is that I have been a collector my entire life. I blame it on my Cancerian star sign but over the years I have hoarded  collected anything from postcards, soaps, serviettes, stickers, swap cards and Hello Kitty stationary. I like to think that I have become more selective with age. So these days, it’s all about blue and white ceramics. I have slowly grown the collection which I display in this cabinet, picking up bits and pieces from my travels, op shops, ebay, as well as receiving some as gifts.
