Are you a wee bit Irish?

I think on St. Patrick's Day we're all just a little bit Irish. How about you? A lot of us here in the USA are a mix of heritages; part of the melting pot that makes this country so great. I don't celebrate with green beer or corned beef and cabbage, but I do like to pull out a few "green" things around the house, and that means my few little pieces of green transferware get to show off a little.



This is a little green Meakin transfer sugar and creamer set called "Romantic England", planted with pink hyacinth bulbs.


They're not very old, but have some wonderful crazing. Let's see... after dishwashers, but before microwaves. I just read where this series was manufactured in the late 1950's for primarily the North American market.







This set is out here on the sunporch on the baker's rack, along with a couple of old St. Patty's postcards from 1912.








...One of my English Cottage Cookie Jars and a zinc bucket full of shamrocks. Now, if I can just keep the kitties away from them. They think shamrocks are their salad greens.


yep, here's one of the girls now...
she's on bird patrol.






Love and blessings to you all,
