Erin Go Bragh

I had a bit of a bad time last week. Suffice it to say, I now believe that "moron" must be "doctor" spelled backwards. To take my mind off my troubles and better spend my time while on hold with doctors, I got the living room ready for St. Patrick's Day without buying a thing.

Green enough? I think so. If you click on the photo, you can read notes about what you see there on my sideboard and shelves. Yes, I'm calling the dresser in my living room a sideboard. It makes me feel better.

Here's a peek at the tea tray. Click through for notes on the objects.

Best of all are the vintage St. Patrick's Day cards:

I say best of all because they're not really vintage. I printed them off the internet and pasted them onto dark green cardstock. That makes them nearly free. I like that price.

This "Erin Go Bragh" (Ireland Forever) flag was also nearly free. I had my daughter shorten and paint a wooden skewer. Then, I printed out the flag twice. I pasted each picture onto dark green cardstock and attached the two sides to the skewer and each other with poster tack. God bless the person who invented poster tack.

I may not feel better about my doctors, but at least I now enjoy my living room more.
