Anyone Seen this Paragon Pattern Before?



I bought Paragon China this summer from a antique market in Canada and there is no pattern name on the back. From the back stamp, I know it was manufactured between1960-1963. Here are some pictures of the china set from the store, the pattern looks exactly like the classic pattern but it is light green instead of white. 
I was wondering if anyone could help me identify the pattern. I have looked everywhere on the internet and can't find the pattern name or number for my china.





If anyone has any idea of pattern it might be or knows of someone or some place I could ask, it would really help me out on my search! Thank you!!!!

Another Painted Dresser

Heres a another dresser I painted this summer, I love the colour of it I think it would look great in a boys room. It is the prefect blue that could go in a baby room and eventually make its way into a teenage room. Here are some before and after pictures.

I debated striping it down and re staining it, but I didn't have much time until I had to go back to school and the wooden knobs that came with the dresser weren't all the same material and size so I would have to buy all new knobs(expensive). So I think I made the best choice by painting it.





The blue is much darker in person, the picture were taken when it was extremely sunny outside. Hope you all enjoyed it.
