Green is In

I check out QVC once in a while and have shopped for clothes this spring at my favorite stores well anyway did you know the color of the year is green? well it is and I look awful in green just not my color

Not that these little green depression glass cups have anything to do with QVC or shopping however they are the color of the year , green

                                                             

At one time I had an entire old pie safe full of green depression glass dishes 
I just found these in a drawer, yes I put dishes in drawers of old chest and my high boy has lots dishes in it's drawers 


More little items for the next yard sale, my neighbor came over last night and we were discussing out next tentative date since I had to cancel because of my friend dying suddenly, hopefully in 2 weeks on a Tuesday , yes Tuesday we are both off Tuesday's , I had a sale once on a Tuesday and did good at distributing my treasures to others 

Oh one more thing I have a friend Lorene  in Port Charlotte Florida having her 100th birthday next month and I added some green glitter to her special birthday card I am mailing her .
She called me Saturday and said Janice don't forget my birthday and no way could I forget her birthday she is a active 100 year old still plays bridge xoxooxo Lorene


Linky parties I am joining

  1. How lovely and reminiscent of parties of another time. I always love your beautiful collections of the "old colors" and patterns. They always give the comfort and welcome of a cozy time at Grandma's house, or perhaps an elegant country weekend at a friend's..

    I'm not a wearing-of-the-green person, either, except for some of the pale grey-green sages, and just posted a silly thought on my blog about green yesterday.


    I wonder why, if green is the color-to-wear this year, does the lady in the emerald-green satin dress always look as if she got the bad seat in the limo.

  3. I have a green cake plate to go with your cups. If my daughter cannot get a job this summer we may clean this house and have an enormous yard sale with her being in charge of it. Have a terrific week, olive

  4. I'd never heard before about green being the color to wear, but I love green. I think it's because our winters up here are so long that when we finally get to see green again, it's such a joy. I'm not fond of pink Depression glass, but I love the green Depression glass. Such pretty cups!

  7. Well if green is the color of the year- then I am finally in VOGUE! Green is my favorite color- thought I don't have many green dishes, I do have some green vintage pottery marked USA on the bottom! Which I just love.
    I like your green dishes are they what's called carnival glass?
    Have a great weekend

  9. I do the same as you when I store a lot of my dishes. Green is not my most favorite color but a bit of depression glass is OK in my book..Happy Thursday..Judy
