Just In Time For St. Paddy’s…
March 14, 2009
My former father-in-law had a unique gift – he could find four and even five leaf clovers out of any clover patch. It was amazing to watch…he never failed! In all the times we searched, I never found one, but he would just reach in and pluck them out, one after the other. I preserved several of these clovers for each of my children, and I’ve been saving them for several years. I thought they would make a wonderful keepsake of their grandfather.
Several weeks ago I was browsing in The Mother Bead, my favorite bead shop in Green Bay, Wisconsin (http://www.themotherbead.com/). There on the counter was a bowl filled with these precious little locket-type frames done in silver. They were the perfect size for the saved pieces of clover! I was ecstatic and I bought two of them, one for each child. I plan to make them into a hanging keepsake for each of them. They were only $4 apiece…what a treasure! That makes these double lucky, doesn’t it?!
I can imagine many uses for these wonderful frames. Hmmm. Maybe I’ll have to make another stop into the store again soon…!
