A sweet friend gifted me her mother's collection of Belleek Pottery. She knew that I would enjoy it, since March 17th has always been one of my favorite days of the year. This year I just set out these few pieces.
And the reason it's always been a special day to me? My father was half Irish, and my mother was a St. Patrick's Day baby. This is my pretty mama about twenty years before I was born. I am so grateful that I received many of her skills and qualities, but her self-motivation and career focus skipped a generation...she would be so proud, as am I, that Kasey inherited that from her.
Happy Birthday, Mama!
What a lovely tribute to and photo of your Mom.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Juhli. I enjoyed looking through photos to find this one.
DeleteYour Belleek is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I still don't think of it as mine. A year or so ago I asked my friend if she wanted it back, but she wouldn't take it. She's much better at downsizing than I. ;)
