Lately, I have heard a lot of talk from various sources about leprechauns. You know, those elusive little fellows that were in the movie Darby O'Gill and the Little People. Darby was trying so hard to catch them. Wanting to find out more about  these mischievous little beings, I took to the net and I found a lot of information about the subject. One site called Londontown Press was especially helpful. The website even offers a pdf document called  "Ten Things Everyone Wants to Know About Leprechauns." In case you would care to learn more, too, just go to:  http://www.londontownpress.com/images/PDFs/HowMuchDoYouKnow.pdf . A favorite website of mine, The Graphics Fairy ( http://thegraphicsfairy.com/ :) offers some wonderful images. You can even find some images of leprechauns which will give you a good idea of how a leprechaun looks and what they wear.

Yesterday was a really good day! I have said this before, but one of the things I enjoy most is visiting thrift stores and hunting for hidden treasures. When my B.F.F., Harriette, can go with me, it is much more fun. Please allow me to share with you the great things I found. I found this pretty and very large (28 X 22 inches) framed print at the newest S.P.C.A. thrift store in town. Framed Print of  Children at Play from S.P.C.A. Thrift Store Everything in this store was fifty percent off yesterday, so this $15.00 picture cost just $7.50! I have not measured it yet, but it is very large. It is just a print and the frame has some dings, here and there, but I love the children in it.  I haven' t yet decided where I am going to hang it, but it will look very good in most any room. I snatched it up and am happy that I did because it instantly spoke to the heart of this grandmother of five! I also picked up this wonderful plate with a picture, in red, of a man toiling
