HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY! We don our green in honor of St. Patrick, the patron saint of the Emerald Isle. As a girl, my mother and I always got new green dresses for the occasion.

Vintage Friday: Queen of Green
IRENE, QUEEN OF GREEN My mother’s birthday falls on March 16, a day before St. Patrick’s Day, and her favorite color was green. While I was growing up, both of us usually acquired a new green outfit at this time. The finery served for spring, St. Paddy’s Day, and Easter. Here we are, Mama and… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Queen of Green
