Our family is Irish. Well, about half Irish. Strange, but true: my husband is half Irish and half Danish. And, so am I. I was born with an Irish surname and I've married into an Irish surname. I went from having a more rare Irish name to having one of the most common. In Ireland, you can't swing a pot o' gold without whacking someone with our surname in the head.
Even though we're Irish, I don't decorate for St. Patrick's Day. But anyone who steps into our home for the first time around this time of year might think I honor the saint by bringing out all things green. Truth is, green is my favorite color. Colleagues at work joke that I wear green every day. Friends and family know that if they want to pick up a small gift for me, they're always safe with the color green.
So, since St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, I thought I'd feature some of the green I've sprinkled around--simply because I love the color.
Yes, it's a green day.
Green is one of my favorite colors, too. What a fun collection of objects!
ReplyDeleteLove the green. My bit of Irish takes over at this time of year and my decorating for St. Pat's Day is mainly just me herding all my green stuff together. Your greens are lovely. Happy Day!
ReplyDeleteLovely greens--pretty postings of your collections. I've always wanted to try growing a pot of lucky leaf clover. Your pottery is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou sprinkled just the right touches for this special green. I never decorate for any occasion at this stage of my life. It is just me, so why bother.
ReplyDeleteWe're all about green over here too and I adore all of your lovely greens!
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT!
I'm loving that little crackled bunny.
ReplyDeleteLove all your green, so pretty. Happy St. Patty's Day. We have been to Ireland and it is a beautiful as everyone says! I'd love to go back and visit. Have a great weekend, Laura
ReplyDeleteOh I like all your green, the bunny is so cute and the white plate with the green center is beautiful
