Card of the Week!
If it's a "grand day" you're wishing for someone this St. Patrick's Day, this dog and pig are happy to help!
Long before green outfits and parades, St. Patrick's Day began in Ireland over 1,000 years ago as a religious feast. The festive celebration we know today took shape in the 1700s with Irish immigrants in New York City, and by the postcard boom of the 1920s, sending a St. Patrick's Day card was common practice — often featuring shamrocks, harps, and leprechauns.
This card is a bit of an exception — why a dog and a pig? We're not entirely sure, but it's certainly unique!
This year, add sending a lucky card to your list of festivities!
