How did you spend your St Patrick's Day?
We opted out on going to the big parade in Dallas, and on a whim decided to go to a flea market instead. We did see a lot of "Irish" fare on the folks walking around, so it was almost like a parade.
We also saw some pretty things that inspired us!
I thought I'd share a few of them with you, along with our stash.
We actually spent a little bit of the Green today.
Springtime Inspiration
I fell in love with this whole display ...
love, love, love!

Then there's "Door Knob Bob" one of our favorite vendors.
In fact, "Door Knob Bob" had these old license plates that Buzz is going to use to decorate his "Man Shed"
(I encouraged him)
Buzz's other BIG purchase was a small
jar of local "Clover Honey" ... yum!
(notice, Buzz isn't wearing Green... He got a pinch!)

My stash included
a dozen embroidery squares,
a couple of old letters
and six pewter style chargers.
(Buzz encouraged me)

I hope you've had a day filled with
Irish Blessings!
Now it's time to start planning for
Spring and another special day!
Some clever person was selling these today...
we were able to resist (for now anyway)
Blessings!

ReplyDeleteWell I did EXACTLY the same, no downtown St Louis parade for me, I met a friend at the flea market and we had a ball...forgot my camera!
ReplyDeleteGreat way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day ... doing something you both enjoy! I love old embroidery. Fun time!
ReplyDeleteI loved the display with the tub and the pots!!! The other day I bought some outdoor decor for our front landing (which has to be replaced)which was inspired by the outdoor display at the front of your home!!
ReplyDelete":o) You just made my day Lynn. TY!
DeleteI've been embroidering (trying to) some towels for our granddaughter's play kitchen, so now I know how much time goes into those pieces of art you just bought. Lots!! Great finds!

ReplyDeleteThe clay pots and claw foot tub are fabulous. What a wonderful vignette.
ReplyDeleteI love that display of the tub, flowers and pots. What a beautiful vignette. Just bought some embroidery squares and was going to make a pillow cover out of them. Glad you enjoyed your St. Pat's day. Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration at Sunday's Best.
