The summer we married, my husband was in graduate school, and I was employed as a teacher. We took a portion of our savings that summer and purchased a sailboat. We christened our Catalina 22, “Hyacinths For The Soul” after Saadi’s poem. Our "Hyacinths" provided years of pleasure.

    What fun pieces on your table. You know I must not have much of the Irish in me because I have very little that would translate into a St. Patty's table. I do cook corn beef though!

    Everything is lovely. Your cookies look incredible. Cut out cookies are my favorite ever. I don't make them much anymore. Maybe I'll break out my shamrock and get to work! Great inspiration. Hope you have fun plans for the weekend.
