“There are only two kinds of people in the world,” an Irish saying goes. “The Irish and those who wish they were.”
If you forget to wear green on St. Patrick’s Day, don’t be surprised if you get pinched. It’s an entirely American tradition that may have started in the early 1700s. St. Patrick’s revelers thought wearing green made one invisible to leprechauns, fairy creatures who would pinch anyone they could see (anyone not wearing green). People began pinching those who didn’t wear green as a reminder that leprechauns would sneak up and pinch them.
We are not taking chances this St. Patty’s Day. This Sharon Barber Beebi Purse is dressed in an interchangeable textured Key Lime Green wrap with a matching interchangeable key lime green strap today. The twisted copper and green glass decorative clip top it off.
Now, we are off to the St. Patrick’s Day parade. Wishing you all good fortune and a big purse, also known as a big pot of gold.
