A day of all things green and of good luck is what most of us think of on St Patrick’s Day.  As a child growing up we always wore green to keep from being pinched. Even to this day we dress in green and today my wrist is adorned with green, white and good luck symbols. We celebrate with corn beef and cabbage dinner and a lovely charity St Patrick’s Day Parade. 

My wrist adorned in beautiful baubles. 

Bangle: Trollbeads Bubble Uniques, Redbalifrog Octogon stoppers and the very CUTE Ohm Beads BOTM, March, Bunny Reaper on a Trollbeads Twisted Bangle. 

St Patrick’s Day is celebrated around the world and most of us like to wear symbols of luck through out the year. I remember as a child what it was like to lay in a mound of clovers, stringing the flowers together to make a beautiful headband and looking for that very lucky and elusive four leaf clover.  I think for most of us this is one of the most universal symbols of luck.

Besides a yummy dinner of Corn beef and Cabbage, one of our most favorite things to do each year is to go watch the annual Parades. Here is a collage of Hal’s St Paddy’s Parade, which benefits the local Children’s Hospital, Blair E Batson. A long with photos of the parade you will find photos of my lovely sons and grandson enjoying the parade and catching beads, along with all the festivities.
