{Happy Saint Patrick's Day Wreath}

Wishing all readers, Irish or not, a Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
During the January Business After Hours from our local Chamber of Commerce (see link under photo header) I did win a lovely door price...
Photo is taken with my iPhone after a walk on the day that we received the metal wreath hanger and Pieter hung it for me.
Cute Leprechaun, even though mine looks a bit constipated; the way he frowned his eye brows...
Don't you love this?!
Door Decor - Wreaths by Julie makes these to order! 
Just click the above hyperlink to see her collection on FB Page.
She uses burlap and all sorts of ribbons in a very talented way.
For sure she will ship one out to you; just ask...

Such a cute Leprechaun!

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

    Hello Mariette, Happy St. Patrick's day in advance. So many Western holidays have penetrated to Taiwan, at least as decorative schemes, but I don't think this holiday has made too many inroads yet.

      Dearest Jim,
      Happy St. Patrick's Day to you as well. Here it is an entire week event. Guess it is too much connected to the Trinity and that doesn't quite fit in.
      Enjoy your coming week and kindest regards,
      Mariette

      Nice door prize indeed and we enjoy it very much.

    Wat een grappige "wreath hanger". Er wordt wat gevierd vandaag, zag net een engels blog met Moederdag! en hier St.Patricks Day. Dat gaat aan ons voorbij. Een fijne dag nog en zijn wenkbrauwen zien er best leuk uit.:)

      Beste Marianne,
      Ja, een geinige wreath hanger is het inderdaad. Moederdag wordt ook over de hele wereld op andere tijden gevierd maar het gaat overal om het commerciële doel!
      We hadden weer een práchtige dag met 28°C en lang gewandeld in onze korte broeken voor het eerst.
      Liefs,
      Mariette

      Thank you, that was the first thought that came to me when I looked at him! Poor guy...
      Glad it helped a little bit ease your gloomy day and hoping it soon will get sunny in your area.
      Happy St. Patrick's Day to you.

      Yeah, all I could think about this poor Leprechaun that he must be constipated...
      Hugs and Happy Saint Patrick's Day to you tomorrow; it is our Barty's 11th Birthday so we celebrate!

      Dearest Deborah,
      Thank you and believe it or not, when I uploaded my iPhone photo, I noticed his strange eye brows and went to the door to check on this Leprechaun. There was nothing I could change about him; they were quite fixed. So that's how I decided to explain his predicament...
      Sending you hugs and a Happy Saint Patrick's day.

      Dearest Janey,
      Thank you and happy Saint Patricks Day to you as well. Yes, you name it for having the luck of the Irish! Indeed I've won several pieces; it is fun to attend those Chamber of Commerce events where all members mingle and meet.
      Like your sister and also the lady Julie that made mine, I admire them for being talented this way.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

    Liebe Mariette,
    diesen Feiertag gibt es bei uns ja nicht. Ich hab' auch immer einen Kranz o.ä. an der Tür hängen, den ich allerdaings nur 2 x jährlich wechsele, einmal nach dem Winter und einmal zum beginnenden Winter bzw. in der Adventszeit.

    Liebe Grüße
