Nope - couldn't put 3 toes in them. They were all lined up on a shelf.

This is our rescue lab named "Fern" because when we got her as a pup 12 years ago she had beautiful green eyes that have since turned yellow. She is very atheletic and playful and a while back tried her paws at
doggie surfing. Take a look.........chase

p.1 Nice wearables, Sunny. I am wondering if #2 is a "cockade." Saw that word used in one description and looked it up: a cockade is a knot of ribbons, or other circular- or oval-shaped symbol of distinctive colours which is usually worn on a hat. Sometimes they were pinned to lapels or a woman might wear them in her hair; different colors stood for different causes. Glad you posted that. Only Irish in our family is all on husband's side and a shamrock creamer and sugar bowl for "tea".

I hadn't ever heard of a "cockade" before. It might be a stretch calling the feathers hanging from a set of earrings a cockade.

Found some shoes for Photogirl's collections. (hint: I don't wear much green, but found lots of it in Goodwill stores and I let my iPhone do it's job!) These shoes were spotted in Goodwill.... got carried away (but not by the store staff!)


I like your Goodwill finds Pat. I sure wish we had one near here.

Pat you’re the greatest. I relish seeing what this topic produces. My Mother’s clan came from Dublin, and my Dad’s people were from Londonderry and Scotland. (What a combination.) I can’t roll my rrrrrs in “Faith and begorrrah” like they did at all, but St. Patty's day is a big deal!!

It's coming up on St. Patrick's (or "Paddy's) Day and time for "Wearin' the Green". Did a little research and found out there was much I didn't know. "The Wearing of the Green" is an Irish street ballad lamenting the repression of supporters of the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It is to an old Irish air, and many versions of the lyric exist. The revolutionary Society of United Irishmen adopted green as its color, and supporters wore green-colored garments, ribbons, or a shamrock. For this challenge post apparel or articles of green that can be WORN - clothing, jewelry. You can find the ballad "The Wearin' O' the Green" here.

Here are a few to start off

Good start, Pat. Always enjoy your challenges. St. Patty’s Day is coming soon, and It’s my Brother’s birthday as well, so I’m going up to Missouri to visit Dad and help celebrate Robert’s Birthday as well. May need some help with next Sunday’s “Free Sunday”. I’ll try twisting RR’s arm gently first.
I have a couple from quite a few years ago that fit well since this event will be happening soon also.

Still have this hat.
