St. Patricks Day at Magpie Ethel's House

I think St. Patrick's day is one of the hardest holidays to hunt things down for.  There is just not a ton out there.  I have one small bin of stuff. ONE.

My entire display is pretty much on top of my china hutch. One long row of Irish green.

 

These little crepe paper figures are a favorite.

I think the cardboard die cuts are probably the easiest St. Patrick's day decoration to find.  I have a good assortment of them.

This is one of my favorite St. Patrick's Day fellows.  He is a treasure.

This little candy box was a good find. I just found another today that is a bit different.  Lucky me!

An assortment of pins on the original cards.

I've never sent out a card for this holiday, but am glad that category of cards exists.  I have an assortment of vintage ones.
Party hats for the Irish.

Wishing you a lucky St. Patrick's Day this week! Go dance a jig and make it happy!

You have an excellent collection. I have several of the white clay pipes but little else. Most of the hats I have ever seen are crushed or too battered up to you use. My pipes came from a free pile that someone set out on their lawn during a community garage sale. Apparently, I was the only person interested in checking their pile out.

Rare to find, indeed, and you have a great collection.

Such a festive collection! I never see anything in estate sale land for St. Patrick's day. Love this display. I'll have to make sure my "Irish" married sister sees your blog this week. She'll love it too!

what an awesome collection of St.Patrick's Day decorations! I remember just having one or two things when you gave me the honeycomb and a few other things to add to my growing collection now. I still don't find much of anything that's for St.Patrick's here. Your die cuts or cutouts collection is really impressive :-)
Thanks for sharing! I'm looking on your blog with my coffee now even though it's not morning.

It may be small ..... but it is filled with some of the best St. Patrick's day items I have ever seen ! Love the cotton head figures esp. !
