ESN - Getting your Green ON

This week's  theme for the Ecrater Stores Network scavenger's hunt blog is getting your green on.  Even though I am not Irish, I like to celebrate St. Patrick's day by attending our local St. Patrick's Day parade, giving some unique green gifts, and of course wearing the color green . 

The Lime Green Apple Paperweight available at Carolinabluelady would make a nice St. Patrick's day gift.

I also like Comycgyrl's apple green atlas jar.  Just add some green tinted carnations and presto a great St. Patrick's day teacher gift.

No St. Patrick's day celebration is complete without wearing something green.  Wouldn't this green purse and shoes set  from BargainExpress be perfect at a St. Patrick's Day Parade? 

St. Patrick was Italian - Really he was!

 As another St. Patrick day approaches, it always amuses me to see people's reactions when I say,"St. Patrick was Italian".  Since I am 100% Italian,  I usually get a smirk or a knowing smile as if to say Yeah Right!
St. Patrick was Italian. Really he was.  He was Italian not Irish.  As the story goes, Patrick's father was  a high Roman diplomat living in England, but a Roman citizen.  Even though  Patrick was born in England, he was a Roman.
I discovered this really cool tidbit of Irish history on St.Patrick's Day, 2010.
Embroidery Fashions Boutique has a nice selection of St. Patrick's day shirts; but not one proclaiming St.Patrick was Italian. This year we are ready to celebrate with our St. Patrick was Italian apparel.  I am going to be brave and wear our new St. Patrick Was Italian t shirt to our local St. Patrick's Day parade and the festivities that follow.  And that's no blarney.
