Our house now is Claddaugh House, and we have a Claddaugh hanging in the living room. (in case you don't know what a Irish claddaugh is, it is a pair of hands holding a heart topped by a crown. It stands for Love, Loyalty, and Friendship.)<BR/><BR/>Petrea, thank you for your kind comments!Christiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621552249179937594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1067046564433930606.post-50731008545360376112009-01-21T15:08:00.000-08:002009-01-21T15:08:00.000-08:00ROTFLMAO Petrea---Maison d'Ebt!
