A few years ago, I came to the conclusion that I could no longer keep all the magazines I'd been hoarding, so now I tend to donate or share more of them than I keep. This July/August 2026 issue of Victoria magazine, though, is a keeper. While I've seen blue teacups on the cover before, I don't recall them ever featuring US flags there before, and I thought it was a charming tribute to the nation's 250th birthday!
Inside, blue and white wares are prominently featured. Here, I learned that Mottahedeh makes picnic sets of tin plates. I've known of their fine china for years (my husband once gave me one of their rose figurines), and I think I would enjoy having a set of these plates to use outdoors.
A blue-and-white collection always catches my eye, and this one certainly did. I don't believe I've ever seen blues and whites that didn't pair beautifully.
And this all-white kitchen with display shelving? Swoon. That's definitely my cup of you know what! So if you're looking for some leisurely weekend reading as we approach the July Fourth holiday, I am happy to recommend this issue of Victoria.




Beautiful photos. I'll look for the magazine.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for all of the blue and white dishes, and that kitchen is definitely swoon worthy
