Hello Friends hoping this finds you well this second week of March. Here is this months post filled with dandy greens for St. Patrick’s Day! Enjoy!

Joe, Mommy, myself and Noreen 1971 in our kitchen

I’ve always enjoyed St. Patrick’s Day - wearing green, green carnations, soda bread, corned beef, watching glimpses of the NYC parade.

Here I am age 5 with my brother, mom and sister.

And yes of course I still have that Kiss Me I’m Irish pin! ha!

79th Annual Glen Ridge Antiques Show

February 6th I attended the 79th Annual Glen Ridge Antiques Show.

Glen Ridge Congregational Church

After paying the $10.00 entry fee I stopped at the first booth with clothing and accessories. I found a coat for $125.00! An amazing vintage black Eileen Fisher eyelash mohair with a stand up collar that’s lightweight and feels luscious!

I found this Tiny Tim Royal Doulton figurine for $12.00. A Christmas Carol is a beloved book and my sister has a matching Tiny Tim that belonged to our dad.

There were so many dealer in the common area.

I spied this Quimper Bowl and I was really really tempted - it was in pretty good shape with just a few “flea bites” but I resisted for $35.00.

This dealer was showcasing pieces that were so beautiful.

This piece reminded me a piece my mother Rita had in my youth. Stunning.

This dealer had every manufacturer clearly marked which I appreciated.

I look forward to finding more Antique show event to attend in the future.

Til next time be well friends and I’ll see you over on Instagram.
