Happy St. Patrick's Day.

On St. Patrick's Day, Tuesday, March 17th, millions of people will don green and celebrate the Irish in and around them with parades and good cheer.
As any schoolchild knows, it's now a day to wear green to keep from being pinched.
I am wearing my green tee shirt today, so as not to be pinched!





This morning I took a few photos of some green things around the house
to get into the St. Patrick's Day mood.
Do you want to come along and take a look.









Happy St. Patrick's Day
Hugs
Carolyn

    What a fun post Carolyn! I've been so busy today I completely forgot about old St. Pat, but I'm sure MOTH will break open the Irish whiskey to toast the occasion later tonight!

    Thank you Lynda, The Victorian Parlor and Laura, for visiting my blog.

    Hi Vee,

    I love the tea cup and it is very old and was given to my Mother, by a Lady she worked with and Mum gave it to me, so I am very spoilt.

    Irish blessings to you Celestina Marie and interesting that your Family descended from Ireland.

    I am so glad that you were not given a pinch Bella, for not wearing something green.

    I probably am a hoarder Mona, but sometimes things really do catch my eye and I must have it.

    Millie, I hope you and Moth were able to break out the Irish whiskey and have a toast! Cheers.

    Catherine aren't kids lovely ~ they do keep us on our toes, don't they.

    Monica, I adored your pink post - loved everything you showed.
    It is lovely choosing a colour and then going and finding things to show.

    Thank you Rosemary. Jann and Tracie so lovely to discover your blogs and love you to visit mine.

    Hugs
    Carolyn

    Thank you Lavinia,

    The little tea cup was given to my Mother, from a Lady she used to work with, so it is precious and I was lucky my Mum gave it to me.
