I Got BLING!

DID YOU KNOW: St. Patrick's day is the feast day which annually celebrates Saint Patrick (386-493), the patron saint of Ireland, on March 17. It is the Irish national holiday and one of the public holidays in the Republic of Ireland; the overseas territory of Montserrat; and the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador. In the United States it is widely celebrated, although not an official holiday.

LITTLE KNOWN FACT: It became a public holiday only in 1903 by the Bank Holiday (Ireland) Act 1903, an Act of the United Kingdom Parliament introduced by the Irish MP James O'Mara

O'Mara later introduced the law which required that pubs be closed on March 17, a provision which was repealed only in the 1970s!!!

(info from www.wikipedia.com)

So...in commemoration of my Irish ancestors...*I've got red hair. There must be some there someplace!

I bring you...St. Patrick's BLING.


You can get the Bling & a few added bits not included in the preview HERE



Please remember to celebrate; but don't drink & drive.
