OUT AND ABOUT WITH STEPHEN WALSH!

About one mile from the famous Cliffs of Moher in the west of Ireland is a little known but fascinating place - it's the holy well dedicated to St. Brigid. I made a visit there the other day and want to share the story with you.



Born in 525 AD, St. Brigid is the most famous woman saint, and this well is a sacred place of pilgrimage that has been used for centuries. You enter the well through a little entrance in the side of the hill, and the whole interior is adorned with old statues, rosaries, prayer cards and offerings.




At the very end is the well itself. Taking the water is said to keep you safe and in good health.



I really love to visit these hidden gems that can be found all over Ireland.


AND, hot news, I will be coming to QVC on June 24th and 25th to attend the artisan handmade jewellery shows. I will have two brand-new items!


I look forward to seeing you all soon!


Stephen, Connemara Marble
