A leprechaun is a mischievous male fairy of Irish folklore.

We normally picture leprechauns in green suits today, but according to Gaelic tradition they used to wear red.  Older works of poetry and story always depict the leprechaun as wearing a red waistcoat. Some believe that solitary leprechauns wear red coats, while leprechauns who live in colonies wear green.

Legend says that leprechauns are the cobblers (or shoemakers) for all the fairy folk. They are often depicted with a leather apron, holding a shoe.  According to legend leprechauns are cobblers because they do so much dancing that they are constantly wearing out their shoes!

Each Leprechaun has his own pot of gold hidden at the end of a rainbow.  A leprechaun's stashes away one gold coin for each year of his life.  By this logic, you should hope to catch an old leprechaun!  To obtain the leprechaun's pot of gold, you must capture him and not take your eyes off him until you get your gold.  Fairy law requires the leprechaun to be honest with you if captured, but only for as long as you look him in the eye. It does not forbid tricks, only lying, but as soon as you look away the leprechaun can vanish, lie to you, or anything else he can dream up.

Leprechauns have a reputation for being foul-mouthed, are known to swig drink from their ceramic jugs, and smoke pipes that are quite foul smelling.

May you work like you don't need the money,
Love like you've never been hurt,
and Dance like no one is watching.


“It is easy to be pleasant when life flows by like a song, but the man worth while is the one who will smile when everything goes dead wrong. For the test of the heart is trouble, and it always comes with years,
and the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through the tears.”

“You've got to do your own growing, no matter how tall your grandfather was.”


And when you've outgrown your current home, call me.
I'll help you find a lucky home to keep your treasures in...
