Update on the Leprechaun Catcher/trap/thingy: I know a little bit about fae (fairies, elves, brownies, etc.) lore and I learned that while most fae are relatively benign, a person definitely does NOT want to irk their ire. Leprechauns being tricksters, neither good nor evil, love to have a reason to annoy humans. But they will also help those in need. At no time, ever, does a person want to catch a Leprechaun to get wishes granted! They will be twisted and work against you. And if you catch a Leprechaun in order to get gold, well... don't. Just don't. Leprechauns can and will make your life miserable and always get their gold back. However, if you are in need of new shoes/shoe repair (or small help around the house) and you leave a piece of gold, or a bowl of milk out, the leprechaun will mend your shoes or fix what's broken as payment for your kindness. So with that in mind, I filled doll's shoes with "gold", set them over the trap, but cut a door in the back and placed a letter inside telling the Leprechaun we mean him no harm and wish only the best for him/herself.🦊💚☘ #saintpatricksday #leprechaun #leprechauntrap #gold #thethingsidoformykid #shamrock #catholic #irish #wearingofthegreen #nosnakesplease #fairy
