Jadeite Love

I heart Jadeite

It's my favorite color of plates and pottery.

It reminds me of the vintage glass tile that I had

on my kitchen walls at my old house.

 I think that is why I am pretty obsessed with

the color!

I was so excited last Sunday when we went to the flea

and I was not really finding anything that I wanted

WHEN

you know what happened...I spotted

this cake plate and pitcher

and because

I helped the gentleman

get a picture up on his telephone

 that his daughter just sent him of his new grand baby...

He gave me a good deal!

I also heart cake plates

I use them...maybe once or twice a year for cake...

Most of the time they hold things.

Things like

dogs

plants

(that need to be planted once it has stopped raining)

silver

arrangements

  and little vignettes that need a fancy place to sit

I thought I'd introduce the jadeite cake plate

 to some of the other fellas...

They all look pretty good together I think :)

I'm not sure where he'll end up,

 but right now he's setting like he is in the first picture...

right below the fruit cake plate

where I can see it every day...

selfish of me, I know!

Now that I think about it,

this is my first pitcher that I have bought

I have two....but they were given to me...hmmmmmmm

I think we'll have to step it up a bit here!

Soooo... anyway, I ask my kids

if they want to use this awesome jadeite pitcher

 to put milk in their cereal in the mornings

 and they think I'm crazy....

isn't that what milk containers are for??

Well, maybe!

How about orange juice then?

Mom....we'd just be dirtying more dishes...

oh yea

Wonder where they've heard that before?!!

Maybe I'll use it for my cereal in the morning....

or maybe I'll just stick some lilacs in it!
