Teacup Thursday: "Aynsley"

-
Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

In honor of this 'fine bonney day!' I thought I'd share
with you my 'greenest' teacup!  
(Glitter Shamrocks are available at Miss Spenser's) 
~Legend of Saint Patrick~
Good St. Patrick travelled far, to teach God's Holy Word
And when he came to Erin's sod, a wondrous thing occurred
He plucked a shamrock from the earth and held it in His hand
To symbolise the Trinity that all might understand
The first leaf for the Father
And the second for the Son
The third leaf for the Holy Spirit
All three of them in one.
