The party was going on in front of The Ratcliff - where the penthouse is currently for sale for just under 1.5 million!

Thanks for the pictures. I was there and it was a gorgeous day. Good crowds too considering it was delayed a week.

Great pix, Loves! Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Well, the Irish dancers . . . if that is all hand made embroidery . . . I am sure the embroidery was very expensive. I sew - maybe I should hire myself out to make costumes if someone is paying $3000!!! However, that is tedious work I would suspect. Really nice gillie dance shoes can be expensive, too.

I was there too, loves! We had our dog with us and he was a great hit with some of the kids there. He's a beagle and we had a bandanna tied around his neck that had shamrocks on it. Did you see us?
