Description from Sonja J: My family comes from Cork County, Ireland,originally. My great-great grandmother(whom I knew) travelled directly from there after her family helped start the IRA by blowing up a bridge. I have always yearned to visit, but have yet to accomplish that goal.

puppychick labratbecky says:Go Granny!! She must have been quite the character!
I always wish I were Irish because I feel the colors and the stories in my bones and I must have been Irish in another life! 
Lovely greens!!!

Medieval Momma says:I have a little Celtic blood myself, Scotch Irish, on my Mother’s side. Her maiden name was Killough. So anyway I love your fresh pick! Happy St.Patrick’s day!

OK Jacki says:Awesome Celtic pick!! The greens are lovely and a special tribute to your gr-gr-grandmother. My sister-in-law’s Grandma was also involved in the struggle within Ireland. She speaks often of what a strong and courageous woman her grandmother was.

Sonja J says:Thank you! She passed, full of as much fire and spark as ever, when I was 12. She was 99. This time of year always gets me thinking about my heritage and how proud I am of my family, and felt like showing it through this fun, creative outlet! I appreciate all the compliments very much! =^__^=
