Color of the Season

Everyone is a wee bit Irish 

for St. Patrick's Day.

Adding a spot of green is a quick way

to bring the spirit of this holiday into my home.

Inspired by all of the faux cookies that several bloggers

created for Valentine's day,

I decided to try my hand at crafting some felt shamrock "treats". 

Three colors of felt were the only supplies

I needed to purchase.

All other embellishments were already in my stash --

 leftover from prior projects.

The cute little leprechaun was hand painted in 1976

 --- by yours truly.

Doing ceramic painting was a popular pass time.

At one time there were a couple of shops in our area

dedicated solely to greenware molds, paints and firing ceramics.  Today, I wouldn't know where to go for these types of supplies.

It is interesting to look back

 at how people spend their leisure time

and the changes over time.

For St. Patrick's Day,

a green-eyed redhead has a seat of honor in my foyer.

Plaques bearing Irish Blessings

are displayed at the foot of the stairway.

Lacy paper shamrocks

and wooden Celtic crosses

bring the color of the season to the mantle.

I'm so pleased you stopped by to visit.  Come again soon!

Until next time, live and love well.
