I know that a lot of people don't celebrate St. Patrick's day. I can understand that. Some of the fun parties they have on this day are not for everybody. And not everyone likes a parade. I think the idea of celebrating somebody who was a missionary is a nice idea. Most of all I just love all the green and the cute decorations that go with it. I have an Irish lassie salt and pepper set that I put out and in one of my flea market excursions, I found a lovely lady dancer figurine that goes perfectly with them. I put out all of the green things I could find around the house.
On top of this, I just love Ireland. When I went to Europe, l went on the Eurail pass which started in Amsterdam. My friend could get away earlier and she went to Ireland without me, so I never got to see my dream place.
When I was a little girl, for some reason, our school did celebrate the holiday and we colored lots of pictures that were shamrocks, hats, and even a Patrick Potato poem and color picture. So, very early, it was just inserted into my set of holidays I loved to acknowledge.
I'm planning on wearing my greet sweater on that day and my tiny shamrock earrings. Hope you have a grand day whether you celebrate St. Patrick's day or not.

I don't really celebrate it now, but I do remember coloring shamrocks in school :)
ReplyDeleteLove the green background! We never celebrated it, but we did celebrate my sister's birthday, which fell on March 17. She would have been 50 this year.
ReplyDeleteI don't celebrate it but enjoy seeing the celebrations on TV.
