One man’s mission to share with the world the fine art of cufflinks.
Each blog a different pair and each blog a different story. Read on in this series....
Your scribe does have a few “lucky” cuff links but none as lucky as those that your scribe wears on St Patricks Day.
Today’s links are solid gold four leaf clovers and were found in a thrift store on The Big Island of the Hawaii Islands. Apparently one in 10,000 clovers will have a four leaf clover, so to find one is lucky indeed. There is a patch of the four leaf clover in a park near to your scribe's haunting grounds but years of passing through and looking I have never been able to find the spot that I spotted years ago…..I will find it again one day!!
I was wearing my lucky four leaf clover links one St Patricks Day and an Irish acquaintance commented on how lovely they were….”Shamrocks” I said, to which he replied….. “They are not shamrocks….they are four leaf clovers”….so let that be a lesson to you.
St Patrick of course is the Patron Saint of Ireland and is said to have banished snakes from the fair green isle. He is honoured in no less than four Christian denominations and the anniversary of his death is celebrated all over the world with the drinking of copious green Guinness pints at unearthly( and seemingly acceptable) hours. One can “paint the town green, so to speak”
The links today are worn with a Brooks Brothers cotton shirt and a bright green Ralph Lauren silk neck tie. Today of course also provides the opportunity to air out those green clothes one has in the wardrobe.
See you all at the March!!
Til later
