St Patrick’s Day Whimsey

Wednesday Whimsey

An Irishman, by the name of O’Malley proposed to his girl on St. Patrick’s Day. He gave her a ring with a synthetic diamond. The excited young lass showed it to her father, a jeweler. He took one look at it and saw it wasn’t real.

The young lass on learning it wasn’t real returned to her future husband. She protested vehemently about his cheapness.

‘It was in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, ‘he smiled. ‘I gave you a sham rock.’

The pattern at the top of the page is our free 15″ x 26″ Irish Chain Tablerunner pattern. Wouldn’t it be perfect in that little space between the top of your window and the ceiling?

Trivia Question: What do the leaves of the clover mean? According to legend. the first is for hope, the second for faith, the third for love, and the fourth for luck.
