CELEBRATING ST. PATRICK'S DAY.....Part IV

It's hump day! Mid-week is here.

We celebrated a bit of St. Patrick's at our monthly veterans meeting last night.  First we had to celebrate the birthday of the veterans organization then did cookies and drinks for St. Patrick's Day.  Yes we all had enough sugar for the day. The buttons/pins given out also which were a big hit. Especially to those not of Irish heritage.  A few said they can at least wear something to commemorate the day.  

This morning I found a rather interesting head piece to wear.  It is a headband with what appears a top hat on it.  Cute does not do it justice as I think it looks more funky. I plan to wear it on Saturday as this is the first time in years a headband will look good on me since my hair now is longer. 

As I have said before if you are creative you can come up with something on your own to wear on your head. A few years back I found a black felt hat at a thrift store. I ended up putting St. Patrick's holiday buttons/pins on it.  Around the hat I tied a green and white scarf. 

Few years later I used the same hat for another holiday by removing the St. Patrick's items and putting items for another holiday. 

For the past few days I have been wearing a velvet black and gold beret.  On it I put a shamrock pin and a button/pin with the flag of Ireland.  Received quite a few compliments on it. 

Last evening I could not fall asleep. This time change as I have said is a pain.  So I decided to make up a St. Patty's card for my husband. Being his wedding ring was a Claddagh I composed the following for him. I should have done this the year we married after I gave him the ring but better late than never. 

Hope you enjoy the card verse. 

Until tomorrow enjoy your day.
