After 3 years of living at home and saving up our money, we bought a small “fixer upper,” a term which is a massive understatement for the neglect our new home had seen.

The first time I slipped on the jacket, I heard a rattle in the pockets, only to discover my dad’s bowtie & shiny shamrock necklace waiting there for me to discover!  I could just see his grin, as I found them, and slipped them on!  I added my own little twist with my boutique’s first ever St. Paddy’s Day leggings collection, and a crazy top hat, and a tradition to share the story with my friends inside the boutique, but my FAVORITE PART of this story, (UNTIL this morning), was…
