Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lucky Charms!!!
May You Find Gold At the End of Your Rainbow!


Kiss Me, I'm Irish...
We are a "Scot-Irish" family.  My husband having the Irish heritage & my family, the Scottish.  So each year in March, "luck has it", our home takes on a shade of green. At the top is a dough bowl filled with grunged shamrock ornies, cookie cutters and old Irish postcards.

 I enjoyed making these grunged shamrock ornies from men's old suits, eyelet shirts that I purchased from the local thrift store & adding bits & bobs for fun!
These shamrocks hang from our breakfast room chandelier, along with a rusty horseshoe attached to a sham  that I made wishing all that enter our home good luck...


Thrift store find...How "lucky" I was...no cigarette burns.

 Vintage Irish Postcards Sent Across the Miles Long Ago


IRISH PRAYER: May you be in Heaven a half hour before the devil knows you're dead!

Don't let your "bloomers" be caught down & flapping in the wind!
HAPPY ST. PADDY'S DAY
from The Cranky Queen & her Scot-Irish Family.

    Happy St. Patricks Day to you! I think I better break out the vintage postcards, that might be all I have in the way of decorations. Maybe I'll make a green dinner :) Have a great weekend xoxo

    I am loving all your cute St Pat's Day decorations. The little shamrocks are really fun but I am so in love with the vintage postcards. I am trying to collect some for each holiday to use in my vignettes! Yours are amazing! hugs, Linda

    hello Tiffany,

    Thank you for coming by and commenting on Rhonda's interview. I love your Irish teddy bear he's cute. I'm afraid the only thing Irish about me is my son's name, Liam. So nice to meet you.

    Ornie? What's an "ornie"? There is no such word in my dictionary.

    This design is spectacular! You most certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
    Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my
    own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really loved what
    you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
    Too cool!
