St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner, and I still have no idea what I'll be cooking to celebrate the day this year. My usual Corned Beef and Cabbage? Perhaps. Irish Soda Bread? Possibly, but I've done that before, and I always like to try something new. What will you be preparing? As I ponder, I'll sip a brisk black tea (Irish Breakfast Tea is particularly lovely at this time of year) and reflect on St. Paddy's Days past.
This cute teacup-themed St. Patrick's Day card arrived in the mail last year from a new tea friend, Melissa in Delaware, and I treasure it! I have a couple of hatboxes where I keep the thoughtful cards and notes from blog readers who have written me over the years, and I dearly love them all, including this one. It came with some tea and a bookmark tucked inside, which really made this more "gift" than "card."
And the sentiment seemed appropriate to share with all of you as March 17 approaches! Since some of you don't get a chance to check blogs over the weekend, I wanted to go ahead and wish everyone a Happy St. Patrick's Day!
"Happy St. Patrick's Day, Angela"
ReplyDeleteI don't mind doing the traditional corned beef, cabbage and Irish soda bread each year. This time, in my new crockpot.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day.

ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day to you too, Angela. Such a sweet card!
ReplyDeleteHope you have fun celebrating the "Wearing of the Green" and enjoy many pots of Irish Tea.
This year I will be celebrating with High Tea and serve Shepherds Pie and a Savory Cheese and Chive Scones with some Braised Cabbage with Caraway Seeds on the side. Alton Brown has a great recipe for the Shepherds Pie. Dessert will be a Donegal Oatmeal Cream topped with Blackberry Jam and Clotted Cream. Our tea will be Brewley's Irish Breakfast.

ReplyDeleteLove the tea cup, and the precious little card! I have a drawer full of tea-themed cards that I've received over the years! Fun to shuffle through it every now and then.
ReplyDeleteHappy St.Patrick'sDay!
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day, Angela! Love your post and I love this holiday. I had a chance to explore LaGrange on Saturday (my 1st visit there) and 'all over the Square,' the nicest shops had your Newnan Coweta magazine! Many were on display in the window - I was very impressed! I am ready to go back for a visit in LaGrange, such friendly people. Hope you have a nice week, Joanie
ReplyDeleteThis showed up as an "You might also like" post, and it caught my eye, because I bought this same card just a few days ago! Didn't realize they were selling it a couple of years ago, too.
