The Hawthorne Fairy pattern was inspired by the mystical flora found all over Ireland. The Hawthorne tree is considered a fairy bush in Ireland. This tree is a favorite meeting place for fairies, a belief dating back to the mist of pre-Celtic history. In Spring, when the Hawthorne is in full bloom, the belief is that the fairies are happy! To avoid making fairies angry, no Irish farmer will ever cut the bush down.
Everywhere your path may lead in Ireland, the Hawthorne trees line the road. They are guardians along your journey. Blooming in May many use this beautiful flower for wedding ceremonies as an emblem of hope, strength and fertility. Perfect crosscuts resembling two paths uniting bringing deeper meaning to this wonderful pattern. The blooms that reach for the top of the pattern envoke the happienss of spring and fetility. Hawthorne in full bloom on Cashs Crystal pieces will bring good luck to the home year round!
