elf AND leprechaun

St. Patty's day is around the corner so I thought I'd honor my Irish initial with some green decor.

It's so easy you can do it after ten Guinness:

• Grab some festive ribbon, a wooden monogram and some "shamrock" grass from your local craft store
• Cut and hot glue the grass in the shape of the letter
• Hang with ribbon

Now if St. Patrick could please clear the snakes out of South Florida...

Light House

I found this $4 buried treasure at a local thrift store and was thankful the original owner threw it overboard. Hmmm....how to freshen up this castaway???

In the end I didn't really change much--added a fresh linen-colored lamp shade trimmed in nautical rope,  painted an anchor onto some linen cloth and stitched the cloth with matching blue thread.
