The gift of gab and new thrifted sweater


What do the two have to do with one another? Everything, if you're wearing a thick sweater thrifted for a whole three bucks that was made at the Blarney Woolen Mills in Ireland.

Apparently the blarney stone, from a tower at Blarney Castle in Ireland, endows the person who kisses it with the gabs.


According to the oh so authoritative source, good 'ole Wiki, blarney means "clever", "coaxing" or "coaxing." Is that me? Ahem.

Anyway, I love my new Blarney sweater. Perfect for the frigid temps that have descended on our fair city!!

  3. Thanks Kris! This coming from the lady whose vintage jewellery collection blows me out of the water - a lovely compliment, to be sure!

    Jill, you have made my day - I don't like myself in my glasses but now must wear them more, le sigh. I am pretty thrilled with that sweater though!
