The Real Story of St. Patrick

Sure, everybody likes to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in March by pretending to be Irish, but how many people truly know the true story of St. Patrick and the fascinating history of Ireland? The true Saint Patrick was a fascinating man who lived a privileged and hardship-filled life. It’s amazing that Hollywood has not tried to make a blockbuster movie of his life and times.

Many details of St. Patrick’s life have been created or manufactured by writers who wrote hundreds of years after St. Patrick died on March 17th in the year 460. As you can probably imagine trying to piece together the facts of Saint Patrick’s life and differentiating the myths from the true story is very difficult. Saint Patrick lived over 1,500 years ago and only two authentic letters that were written by him have been found.

Glass Artwork Paperweights

My friend has a shop that sells glass artwork. My personal favourite glass artwork is paperweights and I have a lot of fun attending art auctions and buying art glass with her. We pay close attention to what our friends and her clients like and dislike.

I usually give people art glass paperweights that I find at art auctions for special birthdays and anniversaries. My mother turned eighty last August and I found a wonderful glass paperweight for her.

The art glass paperweight that I found for my mother was made by Baccarat and I was extremely lucky that this was one of the last items auctioned. A lot of people had already left the auction when this item went on the block. My mother appreciated the rose motif because the rose is her favourite flower.
