Today is
Mosaic Monday
and
Blue Monday!
As you know, Jacob is a collector
and this is a
blue porcelain insulator
from his collection.
It is from the Locke company
and it was most likely
used in the 1930's
for low voltage lines.
This particular one is probably
worth anywhere from $6.00 to $15.00.
Here is my first Mosaic.
Miles
for more cool posts today!
Jacob took me for a drive this weekend, and we went to our usual
White Bear Lake Antique store,
and our favorite Garden Store.
I'll show you more photos from that excursion
later this week.
Jacob took the photos on his G1 phone,
(and I need to get them from him).
We popped into Culver's
for a quick bite, and lo and behold
who should we bump into -
Grampa!
Grampa was all smiles
to see his Grandson driving!

How nice to have a bonus visit with a grandchild. Thank you for sharing. Happy Blue Monday!
Great job on your first mosaic, Robyn! Very cute dog. And the blue on Jacobs collection is so intense!...Christine
WOW...I love that cobalt blue insulator and Miles looks so loveable. Happy Monday
The color of that insulator is absolutely amazing. I'd love a scarf in that shade. Have a wonderful day.
Miles is adorable! I love seeing dogs on blogs -- instant smiles. :-)
When I was a child, I thought all families used insulators as paperweights; my Dad had LOTS.
But no blue ones! Great color, thanks.

Awww, what a cute mosaic -- LOVE that little nose! And I love the color on the insulator -- so beautiful! Thanks for joining the fun at Mosaic Monday :)
Miles stole the show, even though the insulator is a gorgeous shade of blue. :)

Robyn, I'm hoping I spelled your name correctly in this post. I ran into a Robin earlier on my travels, and I want you to know that I KNOW how to spell your name! LOL!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Happy Blue Monday
that insulator is a beautiful colour of blue! I have had a couple of them...be careful...one dropped on my big toe years ago and I had to go to the doctors 24 hours later in pain and he had to heat up a paperclip and get through my nail to release the damage...whew...it was sore!
Your mosaic is so good. Your puppies are so precious. I will have to try that too.
have a lovely day

How cute! I love the picture of his nose. Sounds like you and Jacob have a great time together. That's wonderful.
Jacob is driving??? Hope it is going well, as nothing makes a parent more apprehensive than turning loose! I remember those days well! Enjoy your week. Sally
What a cutie...
Hi Robyn! What a fun collage! The blue thingie is such a great deep blue. Happy Blue and Mosaic to you!
I just love Miles. How wonderful it must feel to have your Grandson do the driving! ..and pretty darn convenient too.
miles is a cutey...love the pics!
I love that little Miles. Just precious and you've made a great mosaic!
be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
What an interesting collection...the color draws you in right away and then the shape. of course the history behind the pieces is also an allure! Different and unique. I have always loved cobalt blue :)
Hello to Miles...! He looks very comfortable in front of the camera...i wonder why? (wink) lol
Love the mosaic, Robyn!
My goodness, Robyn, Miles is adorable and that insulator is the perfect shade of blue! That's coming from a person not so fond of blue. I love cobalt blue the best!
Those insulators are so neat. I have seen them painted as dolls and snowmen. So cute :)
LOVE the mosaic!!! Miles is so darn cute!!
Hugs,
Amy
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment! Miles is a cutie!
Amy
Oh My Goodness! I am in love with Miles!
Miles is the perfect subject for a mosaic! So cute! laurie
Hi Robyn,
I couldn't believe it when I saw your comment on my blog just now, I got on here to send a hello to you, you've been on my mind. LOL
I've been very busy myself, giving the bird houses in our yard new paint jobs, some took 4 coats of paint. Then there is my sewing projects, my machine broke last year so I was using my daughter's, which turned out to be worse than mine. I had to buy a new one, so now I've been sewing everything that was 'on hold'. These past few days have been spent making new flower arrangement for church and trying to clean up the church garage where the flowers are kept. I'm afraid I've barely read my emails every night before colapsing for the night.
We've been getting a lot of rain, which has put a lot of our outside projects behind, I haven't even bought our annuals for the yard yet, but hope to do that this Saturday, which is suppose to be a nice day.
I have to agree with the others, Miles is a cutie and I love the color of the insulator. Give Jacob a hug from me and tell him I hope he enjoys his Summer.
Hugs
'D'
That's a rather interesting blue thing!
And a very cool mosaic...
The Miles mosaic...PURE ART! I love me some Miles!!!!
Congratulations to Jacob on learning how to drive! I can't believe he's already old enough to do that! My son was a great new driver but my daughter's driving gave me some new grey hairs...lol
Jacob's blue insulator rocks! My kitchen is blue and white! I've never seen one, thanks for sharing! :)
