Luck of the Irish Vignette

I have never decorated for St. Patrick's Day before.  I guess since I'm not Irish it never occurred to me.  I think my husband may be a tad Irish.  

I probably wouldn't have bothered this year either except for the "Luck of the Irish" vintage items that I found  thrifting.  (I will NOT have a St. Patrick's Day tote!  I will NOT have a St. Patrick's Day tote!  I will NOT...)

First, I found this Carrigaline Pottery, Ireland, stein or tall mug for $2.

My next find was a vintage shamrock cookie cutter for $4.

I had always wanted to try this technique I found on By Wilma's blog.  I ripped out the shamrock page in an old dictionary, found a shamrock graphic on the internet, printed it on my inkjet printer and framed it in a 4x6 black frame that I already owned.

I purchased some green and white mints in a bag at the Dollar Store, and filled a old jar.

 Then it was just a matter of putting it all together in a little black cubby on my over-the-kitchen-sink shelf.
