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




 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

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
