Green for St. Patrick's Day - Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade

 

St. Patrick's Day (Irish: Lá Fhéile Pádraig, "the Day of the Festival of Patrick"), is a cultural and religious celebration held on March 17, the traditional date when Saint Patrick died.  What began as a religious feast day for the patron saint of Ireland (c. AD 385–461) has become an international festival observed by the Irish and the Irish-at-heart.  Irish culture is celebrated with parades, dancing, special food, beer and a tremendous amount of green (including copious amounts of green beer).

 

Because I hearken back to Scots Irish roots, St. Patrick’s Day has always held a special place in my heart.  I rummage through my jewelry box to find the enamel shamrock earrings I bought in Dublin many, many years ago.  And my John McDermott CD’s are played at a fairly high decibel level.  To celebrate St. Patrick’s Day a bit early, this week’s Wonderful Handmade Wednesday on Indiemade blog post features green items in various shades.  All are handmade and all are beautiful.  Each one is perfect for St. Patrick’s Day festivities wear . . . and will help keep you from being pinched!  Enjoy.
