St. Patrick's Day Foyer Table

I added a touch of green and Irish to the foyer table!

Still wintry but hints of spring to come!
Just kept it extra simple.

Just need to find me a leprechaun!

Any body else out there have some Irish in you?

A Little Irish On The Foyer Table

St Patrick's Day

Mint Oreo Cookies jumped into my grocery cart this afternoon.

It just seemed appropriate, don't you think?

A Little Bit Irish

It was time to take down the Valentine touches on my foyer table

 and move on to the upcoming holiday.  And since I am a little bit

Irish, this one was fun to do!  I bought my annual Shamrock,

this time in purple, and the rest of the things I gathered

  from around the house.  And, of course, it's always fun

  to write something new on the chalkboard!

A Little Irish

Well, a shamrock plant jumped into my cart at the grocery!

But that's no surprise, is it?  Things are always doing that!

Seems fitting, doesn't it, with spring drawing near and

St. Patrick's Day just around the corner?

I thought maybe it was time to let my frosty penguin

retire from the foyer table and some green things

come and take his place.

I've started collecting green planters from the 1920-1940's

like McCoy and Hull.  They're in the auction trash quite often

and I have a nice little variety now.  Here's two of them

holding candy and said plant. 

The little bird is from the auction trash, too,

along with the four-leaf clover pressed behind plastic.

I'd say it looks pretty cheery...and almost spring-y!

The sun is even shining bright!  But there IS still snow

on the ground.  Still, at 23 degrees today, it felt like a heat 

wave. Especially with that sun warming up the Jeep as

I ran errands today.

I wonder if my love for shamrocks has anything to do

with my Irish ancestry. ha.

And I've never met a potato or Shetland

wool sweater I didn't like. :) 

It makes sense doesn't it?  I mean, I have a lot of

Scottish blood in me and I love shortbread

and plaid wool fabric.

I have English blood in me, too...and I do love

their ironstone pottery and crumpets. 

Just like loving pink clouds might have something

 to do with my American Indian ancestry?

What's the connection there, you ask?

hahaha...well, when I was a kid, we loved to play

'Cowboys and Indians' (when it was still OK to do that).

I never wanted to be a cowgirl!  I wanted to be an

Indian!  And I always wanted my name to be Pink Cloud.

I just thought that name sounded SO cool.
