I love St. Patrick’s Day for many reasons! One, it’s the day before my birthday. Two, I love any reason to wear Kate Spade green–although that has yet to make it into the Crayola box of a bazillion colors, you know the magnificent shade. Three, I like feeling lucky…not to be confused with getting lucky, which isn’t appropriate for this post, or really any post as it falls under my umbrella of the five “general conversation” taboo topics… back to luck!
Although friendships aren’t built on luck, we sure feel lucky to have some special people in our lives! So with St. Paddy’s Day just around the corner, we’re taking this golden opportunity to say “Thank You” to our teachers and friends with our traditional Pots o’ Gratitude.
What’s a Pot o’ Gratitude? Why it’s what we find at the end of the friendship rainbow, of course. Aside from a leprechaun (or small child) here’s what you’ll need…
-
Skewers
-
Tape
-
“I am Lucky” cards or any note of appreciation (PDF available Manner of the Month.com members)
-
Shamrock Plants (4 inch from a local nursery)
-
Clay Pots
-
Gold Spray Paint
-
Crayons
-
Creativity and Spirit of Gratitude
Putting together the Pots o’ Gratitude:
-
Print off cards, color, sign and cut out
-
Spray pots with gold spray and set out to dry
-
Re-pot plants into gold pots (once they are completely dry)
-
Tape card to skewer and stick into soil
-
Deliver with gratitude
Whether it’s with a gratitude pot or handwritten note, I think we can all agree that gratitude is worth it’s weight in gold!

What a great idea! I have never seen anything like this before. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks you Sara! They are fun and a different way to say thank you at a time people least expect it! Best, Mindy
Such a nice sentiment and a festive way to share the holiday. So much nicer than a pinch!
