St. Patrick's Day Is Coming

 
St. Patrick's Day is next week.  If you remember much about me, you know my birthday is March 17th.  So, I am especially drawn to green St. Patrick's Day things.  Not necessarily St. Patrick's Day but anything in the green category because I don't normally do much green!
 
 
This is part of my green collection which I seem to be adding to each year.
 
 
This is my newest collectible.  I found this last Saturday at an Estate Sale.  When I was a little girl, we had these collectibles and called them Storybook Dolls.  Did you have any of them?  This one was in the original box and is labeled "Melody Doll with Moving Eyes".  I think she is quite a find.
 
I found some more interesting things that I will try to share with you soon.  Tiffany (bless her heart) is taking next week off of work to, hopefully, help me finish up my move.  We have other help coming so I am planning on being in my new home in the next week or so.
 
 
They tiled the floor in the hall bath today and should have it finished in the next day or so.  It's looking so good.
 
 
I hated leaving my beautiful hydrangea bush but guess what?  I have probably 4-5 at the new home.
 
 
There are also lots of pretty Spring flowers.
 
 
Hyacinths in every color.  The rain has really beat them down but they are still standing.
 
 
My one and only (so far) Easter decoration is this darling set of rabbit ears that go down in the ground in the flower bed.  You can see the rain splattered dirt on it too.
 
 
Bella is really ready to get this show on the road!  She will be so glad when this is all done!
 
Me too!
 
Enjoy!
 
Judy

  4. Fun to have a birthday that coincides with a holiday! I love all the green in the photos. Green is my favorite color, and maybe it's because we spend so much of the year looking at white. Love all the shamrocks in that first photo!

    1. I knew the yard had been landscaped and had lots of flowers before I bought it, but it was late October. So, I am enjoying watching everything pop up and turn green.

  9. Hi Judy, great collection of green assembled in one place! I used to have that Longaberger St. Pat's basket and then sold it several years ago, now wishing I wouldn't have. :)
    Have a wonderful birthday on the 17th!

  17. Green is my favorite color so I really enjoyed this post, Judy. That doll is adorable with her red hair and shamrock sprinkled dress.
    I need to go out to see if my hydrangea has shot up any green, yet!
    Enjoy the weekend.

  18. Hi Judy, Love all your green decor for St. Patrick's Day. That doll is so pretty. Love the tile. Looks like you are making lots of progress with the remodel. Your garden is coming along too. My hydrangeas are also greening up and I hope they do better then last year.
    Bella is always the sweetest!! Have a nice weekend. xo

  19. I love your St Patrick's Day - and green - collections! I am missing green in my home. I used to have a green fireplace wall in my living room and then green accessories. When we had the living room repainted a few years ago, we went all neutral with the walls. And I was tired of green accessories, so I changed to aqua and turquoise colors. The other day I was looking at old pictures of my living room and I was thinking that I REALLY liked that green wall! I don't dare tell my hubby...he'd kill me! lol He knows how much I change things around. I think I'd better keep the shades of blue for a few more years. ;-)

  23. Judy, those rabbit ears are too cute hehehe. And I love your doll. I've always loved dolls, especially the cloth ones. The shamrocks on her dress are delightful. Your St. Patrick's Day decorations are pretty, and I didn't realize your birthday was so close to this holiday. Happy Birthday, dear Judy. I hope you have a splendid day.

    love, ~Sheri
