green and thrifted

In the past, "green" referred to a color - not an ecological movement!
Last week, I bought this green Bible at a thrift store.  Except for the first page, filled in with the name of the presenters, the recipient, and the occasion (in memory of a relative), it didn't appear that anyone had ever opened it!  Inside are several full-colored pictures....
...and some blank pages ready to receive family information.
These six pale green cafeteria style trays were actually FREE at a garage sale last summer. 
I couldn't NOT bring them home with me!
Years ago, we either thrifted or "rescued" the footstool. 
I found the fabric at a thrift store.  I like the pattern on it.
The light isn't quite right to show the beautiful green background of this lamp that sits on our piano.
The lamp, too, was a thrift store purchase.
This hardy plant sits on top of an old, upright radio cabinet. 
It is one of the very few plants that has thrived in our house. 
I believe it could legitimately be considered "green" by old AND new standards.

  1. Great collection of Green's - fitting both uses of the word. Those trays look like they would be fun to use.

  3. I have a similar lamp, but it is a cranberry color. I also have some plates that match...I tried collecting them for a while. Did a little research at one time and believe they were made in southern Ohio maybe about 60 years ago?
