Our Hopeful Home: The Hennessy Collection and Irish Dancer Mysteries

March 6, 2011

Tullamore Dew

Just another addition to The Hennessy Collection I wanted to share with you. Seems fitting in light of the impending St. Patrick's Day holiday coming up on March 17th and all.
What do you mean it's not a real holiday?
It is in THIS house!

We just got back from my daughter's feis (pronounced "fesh") this weekend and it really put me in Irish mode. A feis is an Irish dance competition. Just picture about 1,100 girls running around with sparkly dresses and big wigs and make-up, oh my......it's always an experience.

This time it was extra special because my daughter got to meet her favorite author, Brenna Briggs, of the Liffey Rivers Irish Dancer Mystery books.

There are currently four books in the series and my daughter has read them all. We're anxiously awaiting the release of the next book, due out this summer. It's entitled
"The Alaskan Sun." You can learn more about Liffey Rivers and purchase Brenna's books online at the Liffey Rivers website here.

Just look at those smiles.

My Chickadee Number One with author Brenna Briggs. A happy dancer, indeed.

Brenna couldn't have been more gracious and it really made our day. Thanks, Brenna!

This bracelet features a sterling silver chain and Swarovski crystals ~ some of them are even shamrock-shaped!

It's now available in my Etsy shop, just in time for St. Patrick's Day, along with another Irish dance charm bracelet featuring lampwork beads. You can find that one here.

And you can see my full collection of Irish Dance charm bracelets here.

Hope you're all starting to get into the spirit of the wearin' o' the green holiday. Just remember, you don't have to be Irish to be Irish. And I guarantee that after a few green beers that sentence will start to make perfect sense!
