St Paddy's Day Collections

I thought I would take a moment to share a few of my favorite St Paddy's Day treasures

that I have collected through the years. The ceramic leprechaun above was made

and hand-painted by my Momma. He has been present every March

for most all my life. Isn't he handsome?

 

The Shamrock bone china is from an English company, Tuscan. My parents bought a small

tea set for me on a trip we made to Canada. Like most every pattern I ever pick, it was

quickly retired. It is so delicate and looks a bit like Shelley with the light green trim.

 

 

Irish porcelain has been a part of our family treasures as has Belleek. Just a few pieces

set out in March make St Patrick's Day more special with memories of family.

We do have the usual fun shamrocks, pots of gold  and newer

decorations but somehow these oldies are still goodies!

St Patrick's Day Fun!

St Patrick's Day, also known as St Paddy's Day, is a fun day full of wearing of the green,

 pinching, drinking beer, eating corned beef and cabbage and ,of course, pranks!

 

These darling leprechaun shoes (available at Wren Elizabeth gifts for $7 each)  are fun to

display in March or right after Valentine's Day, if you're like me about all holidays.

 You can set them with shamrocks from the grocery store or precious figures

of the season. Leave them empty, as is, for the display.

 

 

Then, on the eve of St Paddy's Day, fill them with chocolate or bubble gum gold coins to delight

your wee ones with the idea that the leprechauns came in the night and brought gold to

shower you with good luck for the year!

 

Happy Holidays,

Melin
