Guess what I started shopping for today!

Me too Mud!! All those cute green things there in the midst of the leftover Valentines. I'm searching for Leprechans, faeries and other wee folk. I'm wonderin if they hide inside when it gets really chilly.
Who else is going to play here?????

Top o' the mornin' to ye! I've been to Ireland 3 times and nobody ever said that to me. Maybe only the leprechauns say that. I'd like to join in the fun please!

Count me in. My last name is Greene!

Looking for: shade flowers, chamomile, and anything on my wish list. Want to avoid: sweets and invasive plants.

Welcome Greene, Tight pants are ok muddy as long as you post a picture, I need everyones snail addys

My last name is McElfresh -- surely that counts for something I want to be a wee leprechaun this holiday season!

Welcome garden, a couple more and we will get names out.

Sign me up!!! Mellen

Welcome Hairy, we needed you please send me your snail addy

I would like to join up. Got alot of Irish in me too. Cindy

i'm sorry but that talking shamrock is really creepy...

Sorry, maybe that is why you are called gullible, meant to entertain not to scare

that shamrock looks carnivorous somehow :-( but the dancing leprechauns are cute.

i call myself gullible because i got talked into volunteering for only 'a couple of hours once in a while' which somehow turned into many, many more hours ;-)

nice rainbow thanks!

Vee, LOVE the hairy bear, Mellen

I'd like to join.
Found out a few years ago an ancestor married an Irish girl--so I get don't have to pretend to be Irish anymore(like I did for years).
I do attempt to keep my plants green, if that means anything.

We need addys now to get this going, don't be scared gullible

Carol you have gone hog wild with that gif/jpeg posting skill! Love em- except I'm with Gullible on the carnivorous shamrock- it gives me the willies. Check out this scary eye Gullible- green for St Patty's, of course! But the blink gives me the creeps.

I want to be a leprachaun Pal too. I'll be 'watching' for goodies for my Pal- already started green shopping yesterday. Will send you an email today Carol.

Carol where is skymaid?
I don't see her listed.
Thanks,Jody

HI I'm new to this so if I don't do what I should let know please??? Ok so I am behind on posting my wants and if I am the skymaid you are looking for I just forgot to check back here. I'll get the hang of things in a while.

I collect wolves, have my pink,purple,blue,white garden all planned out but yellows, reds ,oranges, etc keep popping up in strange places. I love old fashioned Victorian or cottage gardens, not too fussy where something grows asa long as it's pretty and smells good. We grow veggies too, mainly a lot of hot peppers and tomatoes for salsas and sauces. Hubby is making me raised beds because I can get down, getting up is a big problem. Let's see I have pierced ears, unshaved legs...haha...love purple, collect a lot of Native American things, colorful roosters in my kitchen which hubby says it's time to reduce the chicken coop. I write poetry, short stories, read a LOT, play Pogo and spoil the grandkids.

I like surprises, love perennials, any flower actually that can survive zone 4. Most of my yard is sunny, do have some ferns on the north side of the house...love ferns and lily of the valley.

I was the first to join up and it looks like I will be the first one to mail too. I'm so excited about being Irish, I even dyed my hair red.( Won't shave my legs though before April)
I'm mailing out a Pot 'O Gold later today and hope it finds it's way to someone very special.
That's no blarney. BB

I got mail! I got mail!
Thank you veeja Carol for the thoughtful package! I got Bells of Ireland, and am going to start them soaking tonight, if I can quit doing my jig of glee.

Lovely collection of baby animals photos too. Oh it feels like Spring- Irish Spring! LOL thanks again Carol
