Wearing the green..................


HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY......


..........yes, I know I'm English but I'm married 
to an Irishman so have to celebrate when 
March 17 rolls around each year as it will tomorrow.


I visited SuzAnna's Antiques last weekend............lots 
of great green displayed in readiness for those 
smart thifters and antiques lovers who want 
to decorate for St. Patty's Day or any other day. Think 
Spring green - it's just around the corner too!



There's a green hat tucked in there, but the old 
leather boots grabbed my attention first.......perhaps 
they came on tired and anxious feet across the pond all 
those years back when so many Irish 
(including my husband's paternal grandparents from 
County Kerry) were immigrants to America.


The green damask linen tablecloth, old but never used, 
and just waiting to adorn someone's dinner table, was 
my favorite item.


Off to the parade downtown this morning - Irish Blessings to all.


Claudia - forgive me, just couldn't resist changing your party logo to green today!

Linking to Mockingbird Hill Cottage for our always fun 
A Favorite Thing Saturday party. I just bet there will be 
lots of glorious green being shared in honor of 
St. Patrick and the Irish.
