Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: St. Patty's Day Vintage Style

St. Patrick's Day has been around for a long time and people have been celebrating it for a long time. I thought we would look at all the different items that were available way back when. So let's head off to Etsy Vintage. :)


I just love this little St. Patrick's duck on this mug from MercyMeVintageFinds. He is so cute! :)

Are you planning a St. Patrick's Day party? If so why not have a vintage tablecloth like this one from misshettie. Would look good on your table. 

Oh my look at the pretty graphics and colors of this vintage postcard from BerkshireShopGirl! You can frame it and it would make a really nice picture on your shelf. 

I am not into jewelry, but I think this emerald ring from Ferguson'sFineJewelry is just so pretty! You can wear this and be the bell of the ball. :)

Just a few vintage items that can be found for St.Patty's Day! Have fun shopping! :)

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Upcyle with St. Patrick

St. Patrick's Day is next week and I thought we would look at ways to upcycle and make some really neat things for St. Patrick's Day. An of course where else to get a good variety of these than Etsy shops.

Look what you can do with a spoon! UrbanFunke has made a spoon into a ring. I have seen silverware made into many things, but I don't think I have ever seen a ring. :)

Do you have old t-shirts around and don't know what to do with them? Why not make a scarf out of them like Nat did over at TrendyEarth. I love the deep dark green of this scarf.

Now if this isn't a clever idea from Sewsomer for recycling those old ties!! How neat is this....:)

And then look at all the different shades of green in this vintage beads upcycled bracelet that MettasCreations. I just love all the different shades. So pretty. 

I think it is amazing all the ideas people can come up with for upcycling things. I like all the greens that are used for St. Patrick's Day and green is one of my favorite colors anyway.  So here is to the Luck of the Irish!

Have a great day!

Needles-n-Pins Stitcheries: Shamrock Shake Recipe

March is the green month.....lots of St. Patrick's Day green and shamrocks everywhere. :) Now my kids and grandkids don't live near by, but for those of you that do have them around how about making this shamrock shake from RebeccaBrandRecipes.  Looks really good to me and I love mint, but the green may be just a bit much for me. 

Enjoy!
