JFK Plate

"This commemorative plate hung on my mothers wall for about fifty years right up until her death in 2014. Alongside the Sacred Heart, it probably is one of the most iconic Irish ornament, a fixture in almost everyone's home. JFK visited Ireland when she was a young woman and I think Jackie Kennedy was an inspiration to her. She always spoke about how she was so beautiful and fashionable. When my mum passed, I decided to hold onto it and I plan on putting it up in my own kitched when I get round to it. "
