Amazon: The Fortune Cookie Chronicles - by Jennifer 8. Lee

First to recommend

Description

Blessed with a lucky middle name, Jennifer Lee begins her life in New York City and experiences two kinds of Chinese food: take-out and the home cooking of her Mother. Later in life, curious about the origins of fortunes and the fortune cookie, Lee begins a quest that will lead her through the countryside of China, to cities all over the world and factories in which cookies, take-out boxes, and soy sauce are made. Funny, insightful and historically eye-opening, Lee's book is a great read for anyone who has ever opened a fortune cookie.

Three Potato Four - Sticker Stamp Set - Clover

First to recommend

Description

Although these Japanese children's stickers are meant for collecting, I am thinking of creating my St. Patrick's Day greetings with the clover design. But I also love the pandas and the birds and the whales . . .

Finian's Rainbow: DVD

First to recommend

Description

Did you know that the original Finian's Rainbow was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and starred Fred Astaire ? I am deeply ashamed to admit that I didn't know either because I was actually in my middle school's production of the stage version. Well, now I'm adding it to my movie queue . . .

Orvis: Shamrock-embroidered "Minimalist" shoe

First to recommend

Description

Although the pattern of this sneaker is anything but minimalist, the shoe itself is a sneaker. Plain and simple. The embroidered shamrocks have one four-leaf clover in their midst, so these shoes are lucky as well as comfortable.

Lucky Scent: Geisha Rouge roll-on by Aroma M

First to recommend

Description

Wrapped within its own "kimono" this Geisha is ready for travel. An exotic scent, lacking floral undertones, it will leave you feeling and smelling enticing, not cloyingly sweet. And the built-in perk is that red or "rouge" also symbolizes good fortune. (via The Oprah Magazine)
