Handmade Finds: St. Patrick's Day

by Marla Smith of Keeping up with Stella

Hello! My name is Marla Smith, and I blog over at Keeping up with Stella, where I scour the Internet for anything and everything that is baby/toddler related. Clothing and shoes are by far my favorite, but if I can find something that will make my life easier and more fabulous, I’ll take two! I feature a lot of handmade goodies from Etsy, and I’m delighted to be a monthly columnist for Oh My! Handmade Goodness. Each month I’ll be sharing amazing handmade finds that will have you pulling out your credit card and buying immediately!

KISS ME… I’M IRISH TODAY!

One of my favorite memories from preschool was St. Patty’s day! It’s the one time a year that even me, the little French & Greek girl gets to pretend I’m Irish for the day.

I’m really excited to share this holiday with Stella.  Our plan for St. Patty’s Day is to dress head to toe in green, make shamrock sugar cookies, and try to make green eggs & ham – we’ll see how that goes. If all else fails I’ll have lots of green food coloring to dye my beer green!

Since January I’ve been searching the net for the best items for St. Pattys day, and of course the best collection of items came from Etsy. Surprised? Me neither.

These are some of my favorites that I wanted to share with you for your little leprechaun!

One of my favorite memories from preschool was St. Patty’s day! I remember getting dressed head to toe in green, making a rainbow with pot of gold and eating and reading Green Eggs & Hamhttp://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=k0473-20&l=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969&o=1&a=0375834958 by Dr. Seuss. It’s the one time a year that even me, the little French & Greek girl gets to pretend I am Irish for the day.

I am really excited to share this holiday with Stella.  Since Stella turned 2, holidays such as Valentine’s and St. Patrick’s Day give us great mommy and me days to look forward to. Our plan for St. Patty’s Day is to dress head to toe in green, make shamrock sugar cookies and try and make green eggs & ham – we will see how that goes. If all else fails I’ll have lots of green food coloring to die my beer green!

Since January I have been searching the net for the best items for St. Pattys day and of course the best collection of items came from Etsy. Surprised? Me neither.

Here are some of my favorites that I wanted to share with you for your little leprechaun!

    Thanks, Marla, for featuring the Irish tutu! My husband is 100% Irish, so I get to live with a ‘leprechaun’ all year long! 🙂
