Come On Over Clover

Clover has really been bewitching me lately.

I am not original so I know that it is the stuff I have seen on pinterest.

But, lately I have been seeing it on items I already own. 

Like on vintage postcards.

I remembered my mother's pressed 4 leaf clover and dug it out.

The oxalis in the yard. (I know it is not clover, but it looks like it.)

On this Gothic looking table. 

The clover (Trifolium) also trefoil (three leaves) has been valued for centuries.

The Shamrock was made popular by St. Patrick. I didn't know this until a few years ago, that the three leaves stand for the Holy Trinity. Of course it is good luck to find a four leaf clover. I actually found two in my lifetime. Once when I was picking up the kids at their elementary school. 

I picked it but don't remember what I did with it.

I don't know that I have had a massive amount of good luck since then, but I know that I am abundantly blessed. :) 
Not just the Irish valued clover, but Druids and other cultures did as well.

It was abundant food for cattle. The expression, "In the clover" refers to abundance and prosperity. I guess it was fattening to cows. 

I have noticed it quite often on vintage postcards and had wondered the sentiment in sending pictures of clover. Now I know. I wish I could send you all an image of clover and you would gain abundance and prosperity. 

How lovely of those early in the last century for sending such images.  

I am sure it was a delight to receive a charming postcard, for paper and imagery was more expensive then. 

So as I leave you or leaf you as I accidentally typed,

I hope you are feeling blessed on this Sunday.  Know that I am blessed you stopped by.

Sprinkled with Clover,

Katie 

Guess who wanted to help me take pictures?
