I always thought blarney was a nice way of saying some one was pulling the wool over your eyes. Then of course there is the blarney stone and a whole lot of kissing going on there...
St. Patrick's Day will soon be here.I'll be having corned beef and cabbage in honor of St. Pat and Mr. Dragon.
Just what is blarney???How about smooth, flattering talk?(I can just hear the Irish accent ... can't you?!)
orDeceptive nonsense.
I think a little of both is definitely in order!

I can imagine there is a Bit O' the Blarney going on with this young man and woman.

The back of the postcard is dated March 16, 1909 and reads:To my Star In the East Iwrite these lines,For her heart is true to meAnd from her soul a bright light shinesTo guide and strengthen me.
I always wonder about the people involved with the postcards.What's the story behind the message and who sent it to Ted Dixon, Esq? Postcard Friendship Friday is hosted each week by the lovely and talented Beth.Thank you Beth!

I'm guessing the cabbage combines with mashed potato to make colcannon to be truly Irish. Nice card, I have 'dear Irish memories' from holidays there.

Old postcards, especially ones with writing on the back, are so interesting. You can sure see how much our language has changed over time!

I'm trying to work out why a card addressed to a man would be saying "her heart is true to me". There may be a lot more to this than meets the eye....
