We don't normally make a big deal out of St. Patrick's Day...maybe lunch at Kells or JJ Mahoney's or Paddy Coynes...3 of our favorite haunts at any time of the year. We always have corned beef, cabbage and potatoes at some point during the week of the 17th, usually this way (most excellent!) but this year...well, in a weak moment I agreed to throw a leetle St. Patrick's Day party for my young friends...girls that I've "mentored" for several years now, who will be graduating this spring and going off to college in the fall...girls who know just what buttons to push to get their way...I'm such an easy mark!
To help get me in the mood I made myself an St. Paddy's Day Runner...scrappy foundation pieced -and now I've got to get on the ball and get the manse all shined up for the festivities! Oh, I wanted to show you my latest obsession...crystal or glass bottle stoppers...
Found in antique shops looking so lonely without their bottles...aren't they great?!? The mister asked, "What do they do?" Well, they're doing it...they just sit and look pretty...which is what I used to be so good at, until Father Time had his way with me!
