Happy St. Patrick's Day




While we've already brought out the Easter decorations, that's not to say that St. Patrick's Day doesn't hold a special place in our hearts. Above are a few green pieces we've made in honor of today. And below is a beautiful shade of green mica aptly named emerald green.


Happy St. Patrick's Day!

A Word on Leprechauns


Stories of leprechauns have been interwoven into the folklore of Ireland for hundred of years. These mythological creatures are believed to live amongst the green clover of the Emerald Isle, busying themselves tending their hidden stashes of riches. Legend has it that their pots of gold can be found at the end of rainbows.

They've remained elusive creatures over the years and although one has yet to be captured, tales of their exploits continue to be written.
