Where's the Blue&White???

"I had to do some grocery shopping today and decided to stop into HOME GOODS... I bought the most gorgeous mustard yellow quilted round placemats... I have been wanting something in yellow for all my Blue&White dishes. I've been thinking of a Fresh French look and seeing as ALL my Blue&White are patterned I really wanted something solid AND in a muted yellow color(or as Mrs Blanding would say, the color of your best butter)... OK mine is more your best mustard BUT it's a nice neutral...The set of placemats seemed perfect and I then decided I would go to the dishware section and see how WELL it went with their Blue&White Dishes! "WELL" do you know what I discovered??? In the rows and rows and endless vignettes they had set up there was "NOT ONE", not even a left over cup or saucer in their clearance..."NO BLUE&WHITE"!!! What IS the world coming to??? OK, this has JUST gave me one more reason to hit the "Antique shops, thrift shops, tag sales, ebay, &Beyond"... Is there a shortage of Blue&White paint? Is it that the RETRO aqua's have taken the stage? Hmmm, I should have seen it coming when the Rich Hunter Greens were fizzling out to the avocados once more... OK, trends come and go BUT I'm not giving up my Blue&Whites, they will not be stacked at a tag sale or given to Good Will ladies and gentleman SO don't even go there...
I bought a set of 4 of my New light mustard quilted round placemats AND do you know what I discovered??? They not only look "wonderful" with my Blue&White, they go with EVERY SINGLE dish set I have... Yellow is an incredible color that is as warm and calming as a neutral wooden table(yes, I'm a wooden tableaholic)... I guess I'll have to sneak back to HG and get another set or two...
Has anyone else noticed the decline of Blue&White in the NEW decor(not ours of course!)???
