fab (blue + white) finds $50 or less

Our guest suite reno/addition is in full swing upstairs, which means that the rest of my house is completely upended to accommodate all the construction going on.  Since I’m heavy into nesting mode right now and can’t really do anything about it, I’ve resorted to what any other 38 week pregnant woman would do when her pregnancy-induced insomnia strikes – SHOP!  Budget-friendly finds are always at the top of my list but especially now when I still have to finish the upstairs and then complete a nursery afterward, so each and every one of my finds in today’s roundup is not only fabulous, but each is less than $50!  I also, rather subconsciously, rounded up every blue and white and natural textured decorative item I could find, so you’re welcome! 

This gorgeous blue and white striped Turkish towel is an end-of-summer staple and would make for a great transition into fall as a picnic blanket!

This porcelain sea urchin is the perfect addition to a coffee table, bookshelf or a stack of books.

I have this rope tassel brass bottle opener and love it!  It adds just the right nautical touch to a summer barbeque and looks equally fabulous perched on a bar cart!

A set of three blue and white porcelain bud vases are such an easy way to add color and interest to a table setting – these are lovely.

Capri Blue Volcano is one of my all-time favorite candle scents and the pop of blue from the jar is just as beautiful!

I’m obsessed with this textured glass pitcher with gold rim detailing and matching glasses – and the price will make you do a double take!

I got my hubby the larger size of this handmade ghost ship kite for his birthday and it’s so pretty in person, it’s more like a work of art!

This batik-inspired boho throw pillow is gorgeous – and so soft!  The price is so good, too!

A straw tote is the quintessential summer staple – they are perfect for running errands or toting towels and magazines to the pool or beach – but, I have to say, they look just as amazing hanging on a door during summer months, too!

I love tortoise shell as much as I love bamboo and rafia and this little beauty of a catchall is so chic and would make for a lovely hostess gift!

How chic are these navy tassel rafia placemats??  Perfect for end-of-summer get togethers!

The only thing I may love more than a beautiful brass door knocker is a monogrammed one!  These initial knockers are not only gorgeous, but would make a wonderful house warming gift!

Who doesn’t love blue and white ginger jars?  This petite version is only $18!

How ADORABLE is this blue and white creamer set? 

My love for all things pineapple is a close second to my love for all things blue and white….these matches would be a lovely compliment to a candle as a gift and would look just as beautiful sitting on a coffee table or sink!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
