Just a Couple of Pictures

So the Star of India birthday bash was a lot of fun! Pete and the rest of the Westlin' Weavers were there in fine form (and voice). Both Miss Darla and Lee of Sheela-Na-Gig came to celebrate as well. There was lots of cake and some very cool music. Hope you all had a chance to step on board this ship. If not, go check it out the next time you're in San Diego. Happy birthday to the Star of India!

Wee Celtic Tales

Did you know that Heloise is a very talented artist? She has partnered with children's educator and longtime friend June Clark Heinz (yes, that last name should sound familiar... June is Rich's lovely wife!) to create a series of children's books called Wee Celtic Tales.

The first two books in the series are Shane and the Fir Darrigs and The Dragon and the Fir Darrigs. Shane and the Fir Darrigs is about a young boy who doesn't like to share his toys with his little brother. He makes a wish and... well, you'll just have to read it to find out what happens! The Dragon and the Fir Darrigs is a heart-warming story about Nessie, Scotland's beloved Loch Ness monster.

Both books are well-written and beautifully illustrated, and a great addition to any child's library. Both are also now available with an audio CD so that children can hear the stories told in a traditional Scottish brogue (and yes, that would be Brian's voice you hear on the CD).

Want to place an order? Contact Heloise at www.HeloiseLove.com and she'll make sure you get it right away!
