This week I celebrate with the Irish - 17th March is St. Patrick's Day.
It is the day to find your green jacket, sport a bunch a shamrock and open a bottle of Guinness.
Patron Saint of Ireland - 17th March.
If you should want to know more about St Patrick there are many websites. I really liked this blog that I found........

In Pilgrims Antiques I found lots of green to symbolise the green of Ireland.
Spot the other Irish symbols to be found in many of the pictures!
Here are some of Jill's items. Jill specialises in glass.
Janet has the lustred green fox in her cabinet. The green paperweight is Julie's. The green glass dish is to be found in Jean and Ann's area.
Jewellery from Hilary.
Glass and china from Jonathan. There is a set of the dinner plates.
Monika has the tall green pottery dog and the Scandinavian little bowls.
There is also a silver bracelet with green stones - very Celtic!
A trio being sold by Gill and a glass jug and leaf plate from Brian and Sue's area.
Jo has this stylish green 1950s vacuum flask and the green glass ball.
The jug is Denby Manor Green - but looks quite blue in this picture.
And the Royal Doulton lady is wearing green - a deep sea green; the camera has turned it blue.
Green glass items being sold by Terry and Emma.
I (Paula) have a green shelf.
That square item is a delightful 1930s tea pot.
These things are mine too - not actually very green.
The candle stands are very Celtic in the Charles Rennie Mackintosh style.
They are modern and were once being sold by Past Times.

Jonathan's Staffordshire dogs - don't you think the markings have a look of shamrock leaves?
Two Surrey books from my area - which just happen to be green.
Gill's green glass vases.
A Denby Greenwheat coffee pot being sold by Jonathan.
Note the price.... this is from amongst his bargain items in the Pilgrim's Way alley.
The red ticket prices are rock bottom prices - there is absolutely no way these can be lowered - sorry!
A small Shelley vase with a tall Beswick vase
and a millefiore paperweight.
There is little more to be done now apart from wishing you
Beannacht Lá Fhéile Pádraig !
And maybe we should now open the bottle of Guinness which has found its way into many of the photographs.
I hope you have enjoyed this visit to Pilgrims Antiques Centre and that you might wish to call in and see much, much more.
