How The Jadite Obsession Started.

It was just this past January. Stuck in the house on another one of those cold and snowy days, I started longing to see green again. So what's the first thing that pops into my mind?....... Lettuce...guess I was hungry while I was thinking. I started to image a large green salad before me. This could not just be any ordinary salad in a bowl though, oh no, it had to be on a large, square, GREEN plate!
Well, I didn't have any large, square, green plates and decided I needed to find some. So I did a internet search for those terms.  I found some very pretty green colored dishes....dark green, translucent green, light green and on and on. But then I saw them.....JADITE!  Oh my!  This was it!

I found myself on a antique stores web site which was displaying a gorgeous jadite square plate.  That was it, that was the perfect plate to eat my salads on. The only problem was the cost. They wanted $32.00 and only had two plates in stock! Oh what to do, I now had to have them. I left the site but found myself drifting back to it several times a day just to stare at the beautiful color. For some reason I find peace looking at this glass...sorta like watching fish swim in a bowl........I'll just stare for awhile I thought to myself.
