Penchant for Green......

When I first started thrift shopping I was drawn to green, specifically green glass.  I usually collect things in color phases...about 10 years ago I had a teal phase.  I worked in a bead store at the time so I have an abnormal collection of teal glass beads, mostly Czech pressed glass.  It makes me laugh every time I open the "teal" drawer.  Then I had an orange phase.....  I had a matching orange car and orange phone!

Fortunately for me green was a popular color in the 70's and I'm also drawn to the 70's kitsch housemates, avocado and olive, oh yes!

Of course I don't limit myself to the 70's.  I don't limit myself to any decade, ha. Except the eighties, can we ignore the 80's please? Yes? Thank you.

Found these at a GW in phoenix, picked them up not knowing what the were, about a year later I was researching the florifom green canisters and found out they are Kastehelmi plates, also designed by Oiva Toikka.  I love when that happens!

I also created a pinterest board for my green obsession.   Do you have a penchant for a specific color right now?
