Thursday Doors: Another Make-Do

#ThursdayDoors #writingprompt

Another week, another lack of new doors. So I’m posting one I believe I’ve posted before: The Blue Willow Pattern.

I adore the Blue Willow pattern, and Sara has given me several instances, including this one on the side of a ceramic beer stein because of course I have a Blue Willow beer stein.

I also have a Blue Willow shot glass, so I’m all set.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write a new story for the pattern.

  I love all the tiny details. The “story” of the Blue Willow pattern was made up by or for Whosis Spode, who made china with that pattern on it. But I still like the pattern.
