It’s that favorite day for wee leprechauns across the globe, this day is! And we are dancing a jig here to celebrate the patron saint of Ireland, St. Patrick himself… Let’s have a bit of fun in just a quick post! 😉
According to the History.com, St. Patrick wasn’t Irish but…
{St. Patrick} found his faith while being held as prisoner by a group of Irish raiders.”
He was actually British but during his captivity in Ireland, he dreamed of converting the Irish to Christianity.
Our sweet lads and lassies are certainly happy that St. Patrick was adopted into Irish lore and are happily celebrating the day of his passing. <3
Probably, though, they are just celebrating because this year St. Patrick’s Day falls here on Friday, and it’s quittin’ time!!! Time to head to a pub for some supper and a pint…
Always good when it’s a Friday! 😉
This has been a fun month for me getting to write a few more posts and sharing this tablecloth yet again. I bought it at the Peterborough Antiques Faire back in 2005 while visiting my brother and sister-in-law and family over in England. The boys went to see an airshow and Linnea and I and our girls went antique browsing.
I have long suspected that it is an Irish piece. It has little clovers carefully wrought into its design. One wee clover can be seen just to the left of this little boy’s shoes…
Here is a cute clipart I found under free stock. A bit of silliness, really… I thought you’d enjoy something lighthearted today.
Being that I am roughly 38% Irish and another 48% Scottish, it’s only natural that we should celebrate a bit on St. Patty’s Day, don’t you think? Actually, it’s only a piece of pumpkin pie with milk as I am having.
Nothing stronger, lol!
And this is my St. Patrick’s Day post! Just a quick little vignette to celebrate the day!
Hope you have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day and weekend,
Barb 🙂
Just charming! I hope it was a good day for you!
Yes it was, though Charles didn’t get home until 1am. He had to run some report needed for tomorrow (for Korea), so no going out for us. Was fun writing this silly St. Patty’s Day post. ☘️ Hope you had a good one, too, Jeanie!
