PREPARING FOR ST. PATRICK'S DAY!-GET GOING!!!!

It's said that

EVERYONE IS IRISH

on St. Patrick's Day.

However,

I am Irish every day of the year.

It's in my blood-literally.

So,

I have bits and pieces of 

IRELAND

around  me all year long.

My sweet girls bought me this set

a few years ago.

I love it to the moon and back.

However, as we are preparing to move

I gifted this back to my

IRISH DAUGHTER, Mimi.

There are about 45 pieces in the set.

We spent quite a bit of time 

researching this on the internet

and couldn't really track it at all

to find the pattern.

If you know anything about it 

I would love to know!

I also LOVE this sweet compote dish

that stays in my china cabinet year round.

Also - now gone from my home.

Yeah- I know- 

crummy picture...

Here's a bit of the lid-

It's a pretty piece, isn't it?

The manufacture's mark looks like this.

Those French sure do a nice job on

IRISH CHINA!

I thought I needed a new shamrock plant

Someone  who shall remain nameless 

killed my plants while I was gone.

So~ I went to Stein's Garden & Gift.

As I was walking in I noticed a lady walking out.

She was walking out with a 

CART FULL OF SHAMROCK PLANTS.

Whoodedoo- I am excited now!

I can't wait to get a plant...

or two...or three...or....

I rushed to find some for myself.

I couldn't find any!

I asked the clerk where the 

shamrock plants were.

She didn't know.

She called someone who called someone

who called someone---you know how THAT goes.

FINALLY.......

Sales clerk who was standing there 

chewing her gum said...

Oh-Ya lookin' for those green cloverleaf plants?

Me:      Ummm....YEAH.........

Gum Chewer: Oh- some woman just came in and 
bought both flats that we had.

What? WHAT?

I don't know if I wanted to kill the 

gum-chewing cashier or the woman that

took every last plant!

The plant gal has gone home....

Guess who is left?!?!

They SAID they have more

coming in tomorrow.

I'll believe it when I see it,

if you know what I mean.

Looks like a big snow storm 

going on here today.

AND- I have 3 grandgirls 

& their mom (my daughter)
staying here until they can move

 into their new home

next week.

Oughta be a fun week....

or a crazy one---take your pick!

Have a great Tuesday--

and shake out your 

SHAMROCK SHIRT

and get your Irish on!

Y'all have a great day now,
you hear?!
