Showing My Green for St. Patricks Day and Easter

Jann Olson
by Jann Olson
Last year we added seeded glass to the cabinet doors over our desk and painted the area white to look like a built in china cabinet. It soon became one of my favorite places for displaying my seasonal dishes. For March I filled it with my jadite collection. The spring green color works great for both St. Patrick's Day and Easter.
My collection has evolved over the last three years. I am always on the look out for a bargain. Not easily found now days.
Scalloped bowl and juicer
Swirl bowl and plate.
I added a few other spring pieces to fill in where I didn't have enough jadite.
The enamelware coffee pot just happened to be the same perfect shade of green.
saucers, tea cup, and sugar bowl.
These pretty cups have an embossed floral trim. The S&P were scored at a thrift for $4.
The mug and saucer was another thrift find. My heart skips a beat when I spy jadite at a thrift shop!
Cabinets with the seeded glass doors.
flour shaker, batter bowl, and measuring cups.

    Love collection. I have the same love of jadite with the green depression glass as well. Odd to see this today since I just finished spring cleaning my cabinet with it in last night. Mine is in an old Hoosier cabinet about 6' tall and 2 1/2' wide mixed with grey porcelain enamelware.

    Hi Em, I enjoyed reading this!! Sounds like we love similar things. 🥰 I have an old Hoosier in our basement kitchen. 😄
