A wee bit of Ireland made it to the US a few days ago...

She sat down on the couch where I was sitting and tapping away on my phone. I noticed a clear bag in her hands,with some sort of writing on it but I could not tell what it said,or what the contents of the bag was. She told me that she was not even sure if she was going to get this because she had requested it but the etsy seller never responded with an affirmative. She then leans over and hands me the bag and asks me to read the note. "Irish Clovers" the note says, and sure enough on the bottom lay a handful of clovers. A little worse for wear and beaten by weather and most assuredly travel. The main gift she got me would end up being those sequin pillows that are all the craze now. I know she paid an arm and a leg for the pillow and it's shipping, and only for the chance that the seller would send along a wee bit of Ireland with it...

@celticeagle True Enough. I plan to press them into my "Irish Fairy and Folk Tales" book.

I have been using the sequin pillow like a stress ball. I just wax and wane the sequins when I am getting frustrated or stressed and it calms me.

@ScribbledAdNauseum In my case, I would probably start counting the sequins...
