Clover Leaf Hunting


Hello friends!


Well with St Patty's Day tomorrow,
I found a few clovers to share around my home,
even though they are not the real ones.

One being this clover blue slip crock.



One of my glass coffee jars.
This one from the 1940's.


Finally a clover leaf ginger beer bottle.

When I was a pre-teen,
I once spent the entire day in a clover patch 
on gramma B's farm.
I tried my best to find a four leaf clover.
Never did find one try as I may though.

Did you ever try to find one and succeed?

Hope everyone has a
Happy St Patrick's Day tomorrow.

Clover Leaf Blessings To All!
Janice

  1. I had no idea there were clover motifs on pottery. Your pottery wares are so fun and perfect for tomorrow’s celebration. The Clover coffee really caught my eye as I am a coffee drinker and the label on it is fantastic. There were so many brands of coffee back in the day and I wonder how they were different. Today one can walk into any grocery store and there are many many brands and flavors of coffee. What did the earlier vendors have access to in coffee beans and where did they come from? Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you!

    1. There are crocks with a four leaf clover on them as well. Cannot remember the maker right now, but have seen them. I have a small collection of the glass coffee jars. So love the graphics on them! Coffee beans used to come in burlap bags. I do remember seeing them as a kid. Janice

  3. How neat is that, that you have some cloverleaf pottery pieces? Yes, I have found many four clover leaves. We had a tiny patch by the front of the barn where I kept the calves. My son used to pick some and offered them to me.

    Happy St Patrick Day.

    Hugs, Julia

  6. Love each of these but, like Winnie, there is something about the coffee jar label that is extra special. Yes, I have found four-leaf clovers, but only a few....unlike one of my nieces...since early on she could find them. We used to have fun telling her to go out and find one and she would...sometimes an entire bouquet worth. Happy St. Patrick's Day! ~Robin~

  11. I too love the coffee jar! How cute is that? Has anyone noticed how the coffee that you buy in the store is often times much less than a pound? The most recent one I bought was a Maxwell House and it has 10 ounces! So maddening! I don't find four leaf clovers but my daughter can look at a patch of clover and pick one out within minutes. Literally! It's amazing. Nice weather here in MA, cold but not frigid. Spring is coming! Jan in MA

  14. Your post made me smile as you brought to mind a memory. When our children were small I watched, as they all 3 searched for a 4 leaf clover in the clumps of wild shamrock that grew on the grounds. I love that coffee jar!

  17. Love those clovers! I remember getting one as a child and my mom pressed it in a little book. Then a few years ago, I found 4 in our backyard. Always fun to search for them!
