Its worth sharing but then there is this pretty purple in my stash that says share me share me! and its not st. pats. argh!

Ok do you know why there pigs on Irish St. patricks day items? (such as vintage post cards) its because of the famine that hit Ireland. If you had a pig you were very lucky because you had food. Just thought I would toss that out to you. I couldnt figure out why there was always this silly pig on the cards I collected. like ok we know about gold and rainbows and lephrechauns but a pig? really? lol so now I have lucky pigs that go out with my St. Pat decor.
