My wife collects blue and white stuff. We have lots of it. It’s probably what people remark on the most when they come to the house.

One morning, around 8:00am I was sitting in the living room drinking my coffee when I noticed that the light coming through the living room windows was particularly impressive. It was illuminating this group of objects on the shelf in front of our fireplace.

If this picture is successful I suspect that it’s because of the splash of orange that contrasts so starkly with the dominating blue and white. What are these orange things? I’ve never noticed them before. When did they arrive? I’ll have to ask my wife.
