May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.
-Irish Proverb
This was a custom order that came in just in time for St. Patrick's Day. A women ordered it for a friend who does Civil War reenactments and has Irish heritage. We needed to keep it rustic and minimalistic (true to the times he is representing) and a nod to his Irish heritage. This is what we came up with, and she let me know that he loved it.
