Our hostess, Beverly, suggested we share a St. Patrick theme today. I have very little around my place that qualifies. No doubt if you drop by
http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/my_weblog the participates will have many of their own greens to show off.
This pretty images from the internet.
This Gold Leaf, four leaf clover, is the closest thing I have that might apply to St Patrick's day. I bought this for a special couple I knew several years ago for their Golden Wedding anniversary. On the back of the leaf is: "One leaf is for
HOPE, and One is for
FAITH, and One is for
LOVE, you know, and God put another in for
LUCK". Both of them passed away in the last couple of years. When the family had an estate sale, they gave it back to me. This picture does not do it justice. It is a very pretty, bright brass finish.
Another pretty internet image.

How wonderful that you got this back! I'm sure you think of them each time you hold it.
Happy St. Patrick's celebration Ms. LV, take care.
What a great piece to remember them by! :) I have a few things of my grandmother's that I got back after she passed, as well. It makes me smile to see them and remember her.
