Happy St. Patricks Day

My great-grandfather (Edward Powers) was proud of his Irish roots and when he married his wife (also of Irish decent) in April 1905, he gave her a watch which has a shamrock with diamonds and is framed with a circle of pearls.   This watch was given to my grandmother, then to my aunt, and then to me.  Not sure that I will ever wear it as I don't have the right colored blouse to go with it... : ))

I blipped a photo of my great grandmother wearing the watch and the front side of the watch last year. It can be seen here:
