A hundred thousand welcomes to you my friends and
a Happy St. Paddy's day to boot.
Delving deep into my Irish postcards book I've come up with the top 10 Irish stereotype cards.
Number 10
complete with Gaelic greeting.
And may you catch the spirit.
Number 9
Sentimentality
Number 8
Shamrocks
Number 7
Erin Go Bragh
Number 6
Patriotic
(keep in mind that when thee postcards were produce
Ireland was still under British rule)
Number 5
Saucy little Irish lass
Number 4
Bald Monk preaching to frogs.
This one is just a tad strange
Number 3
Possibly drunken revelry
Number 2
Rosy cheeked guy with a mug in his hand.
Hey, you do the math
And the number 1
stereotypical Irishman
expressed in postcard form
Love,
M

ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job but sorry to hear about the move ahead. Ugh!
The English drink as much as the Irish. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteWonderful post cards! You have such a neat collection of old time 'papers'.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you and your move. Houston is HUGE, Texas is Huge, and hopefully the paycheck is HUGE!

Top of the mornin' to you too! No pinching over here, have me green on I do!
ReplyDeleteI love that last one. Happy St. Pat's!
ReplyDeleteThese are much nicer than the crap we see today. Interesting!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how people in Ireland feel about being portrayed as happy go lucky drunks all the time?
ReplyDeleteWe Irish are a drunken bunch. I'm just too stingy to use up all my drinking point today and I'm savin' them for this weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteMy St. Patrick's Day is complete! Thanks for the big ole dose of Irish!
ReplyDeleteAnd a happy st. patrick's day to you.
ReplyDeletethanks for sharing.
Absolutely loved the Saint Patrick's Day cards - you find the loveliest vintage items. Don't drink too much green beer!
ReplyDeleteI like the last one best.
ReplyDeleteHappy St. Patrick's Day! *pinch*
I didn't wear green today. I don't have any green. Not even underwear.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame, because I look hot in green.

I like #5 the best. Here's to all the green beer I didn't drink tonight. I hope you're drinking one for me!
ReplyDeleteThose are really cool. I hope you guys had a good time and that your man enjoyed his frickin' corned beef. Cheers Michele!!
