The month of March
comes right in the thick of what's known in the Greeting Card trade
as the 'Spring Seasons'. There's St David's Day (March 1st), Mother's Day (UK - March 6th), St Patrick's
Day (March 17th) Persian New Year (March 20th) and this year, Easter
(March 27th) as well!
So this month, I'll be
showcasing some of my Gifts and Greeting Cards for the Birth Month
Flower for March, the Daffodil, as well as my St Patrick's Day
Collection, in good time for March 17th.
First of all, 'Daffodil' gifts and greeting cards for someone whose birthday falls in March.
Daffodils come in all
sorts of varieties - there are some very interesting facts about
daffodils in this Country Living blog, as well
as some wonderful photos of all the different colours and types. We
often assume that when the daffodils appear, winter is a thing of the
past and spring is getting underway. But just like in the photo on
the Country Living site, I've seen daffodils covered in snow -
several times!
You can read about how
I painted some daffodils from a little pot of growing daffodils that
I bought for the purpose, in this earlier blog post. What I didn't mention, though, was that I hadn't realised that I was sensitive to the scent of daffodils and of course, in the warmth of my house, a pot of growing
flowers gave off plenty of scent, and I ended
up temporarily losing my voice!
As the
Birth Month Flower for March is the Daffodil
If you're looking for
something different, something a little bit special, for someone with
a March Birthday, you can't go wrong with a 'Daffy-down-Dillies'
Birthday Card.
My March Birthday Collection also offers you gifts
with a the Daffy-down-Dillies pattern, originally painted by hand in
watercolors. There are also Daffodils combined with White on Blue
Polka Dots, Green Check Gingham, Orange and Yellow Polka Dots and
even a trendy Faux Patchwork pattern combining all these coordinating
patterns.
Many of these March Birthday Cards and Gifts are ready for
you to personalize and matching Wrapping Paper and Gift Bags are also
available. With so many choices, your only problem will be which to
choose!
Obviously, I can't show all the Daffy-Down-Dillies Collection
here so if nothing here fits the bill, take a look in my Posh &
Painterly store or contact me through my store and I will create it
for you at no extra charge.

My
'Spring Sunshine' collection features, as you might imagine, a
pattern of Daffodils, mostly on a Sky Blue background, together with
coordinating patterns such as polka dots and check ginghams in
matching colours.
These 'Spring Sunshine' Birthday Cards and Gifts are perfect for anyone with a
March birthday - and there are plenty to choose from! If you don't
see what you want here, take a look at the rest of the 'Spring
Sunshine' collection in my Posh & Painterly store.

And now to St Patrick's Day - March 17th
Most
of us are familiar with the celebration of St Patrick's Day.
Celebrated all around the world, it seems that it's particularly
important to those in the US of Irish/American descent.
Here you can read
about St Patrick and about the various ways his saint's day is marked
in different countries.
There are many Irish blessings that adorn
greeting cards and gifts and it's hard to miss the fact that the
colour green, the Shamrock, Leprechauns and the Drinking of 'the Black Stuff'. And although my
family has no Irish connections that I know of, the dog that I grew
up with was named 'Paddy' and he always wore a bunch of shamrocks tied
to his collar on St Patrick's Day!
So
here is a huge selection of greeting cards, invitations and gifts for
St Patrick's Day, with leprechauns, pots of gold and shamrocks!
