Decorating with Jadeite


With Christmas come and gone and no end in sight to our snowy weather, I have decided to perk up my home decor with all my new Jadeite! It brings a touch of Spring to our cold and dreary days here in northern Indiana and it makes me happy!

I only started collecting Jadeite about a month ago, when I was lucky enough to find a Jane Ray cup and saucer in an antique store in Florida (you can read all about it here!) Since then, my collection has grown to a whopping five pieces! Pretty fantastic, if I do say so myself. Prior to my first find, I couldn't find any Jadeite to save my life, so I am very happy that I keep stumbling upon it recently! My goal is to one day have loads of Jadeite to fill my hutch with, like so many lucky ducks I see on Pinterest and Instagram!

For now, I will just enjoy seeing a few pops of that minty green throughout my home! Currently, most of my Jadeite is confined to the dining room, but my McKee canister is acting like a flower pot in my living room. Jadeite is not just for the kitchen! Although, I do hope to be making use of my cakestand very soon!

My beloved hutch! Hopefully, it will one day be filled with Jadeite! Until then, up top is my reproduction cakestand that I got at World Market and I've got my official Fire King berry bowl just chilling down below.


I've got a little more pastel going on than usual with my two cakestands, but it just looks so good! 


My citrus recipe box from Rifle Paper Co. fits in perfectly with my Jadeite! I absolutely love anything vintage/vintage inspired!


This is a McKee canister that once held flour, sugar, or the like. It had a lid at one time too, but they are hard to come by! I saw this in an antique store and it looked immediately to me like a flower pot. So that's what I decided to use it for! I've got some big plans for it in the future too!


My very first piece of Jadeite! My Jane Ray teacup and saucer! I love it!


I just love that color!
