St. Patrick's Celebration of Green and White Wednesday

On St. Patrick's Day

we all have a little Irish in us.

(and I do have just a little from my Mom's side)

When I saw that there was a St. Patrick's Celebration

I wanted to join in the fun!

So for the Wearin' O the Green Celebration

with Him, Me and Our Three

 And Kathleen at Cuisine Kathleen

is having a Blog Crawl...

And also, Kathleen of Faded Charm with

White Wednesday

I thought I'd share some "green" of the china kind,

with a few pieces of my green transferware

in several different patterns.

This is "Kent" by Wedgewood.

I'm putting together a picnic tin

full of some Irish luck and blessings.

Irish Biscuit tin.

Vintage St. Patty's Postcard

This platter is John Maddock and Sons from England

The gravy boat is King's Border from England

This little sugar and creamer, well used but not too old,

is Romantic England, Herefordshire, by Meakin.

And this plate is part of a set of

Romantic England, Haddon Hall by Meakin.

My dining room is moss green,

so I love displaying my collection

of green transferware from England.

And to share some White from Ireland,

I found these images of beautiful Irish Pottery.

These are Belleek.

Hope you all have a good St. Patrick's Day!

Watch out for the Blarney

and don't get pinched!

love,

Debra

Silver Sunday: Easter Bunnies, Birds and Baskets

With Spring and then Easter

just around the corner,

I wanted to put together an Easter Basket for you...

Full of Silver Spring goodness and fun.

Bunny with German glass glitter.

Rhinestone photo frame with

a vintage Easter graphic.

all in a silver woven basket.

And this is my favorite soldered charm necklace

with a little blue bird.

Sending loving Easter Wishes your way...

Hope you enjoy a beautiful Day!

Thank you Beth,

 from Gypsy Fish Journal!

I'm Soooo Ready!

I wanted to show you a little something

 that I put together today to take to my soon to be

 new and expanded booth space at

Spring Creek Antiques.

I'm "holding my breath" to get in there...

having "ants in my pants"...

and driving everyone else crazy!

I like to "play" with jewelry pieces.

I'm not a "professional jewelry person"

like so many of you fabulous gals out there,

I just like to have a little fun

with some odds and ends.

(just so you won't worry about me,

these are 3 separate pieces)

so don't look too close...

And then, I won't show you

 the stacks of plastic tubs...

and boxes...

in the garage and hallway...

waiting to be taken...

or my dirty kitchen floor...

or the baskets of laundry...

or my unmade bed...

Trust me,

this feels like having a baby...

I just want it done!!!

But I WILL tell you about Inspirational Home's

Spring Open House

next weekend March 19-21.

More info and photos of what's "In Store"

coming next week.

Check out my friend Debra's wonderful store

Inspirational Home, in Springfield, Missouri

if you have a minute.

(yes, her name is Debra, too)

OK, keep a good thought for me this weekend...

I have no more fingernails!

hugs and love,

Debra
