Her strawberry-blonde locks shine beneath a golden tiara. And her features sparkle in hand-painted porcelain.
Her golden jewelry - all accented with green enamel - enhances this summer-inspired creation fom the renowned Celtic artist Rhiannon Evans. Along the banks of the Blackwater River stands the 12th century castle of Lismore. It is a fairytale castle that appears to rise out of the very river itself. And like every enduring fairytale, we find a princess there who has inspired a centuries-old romantic legend.So it was that long ago, there lived within the castle a beautiful young maiden Princess Roise. Her love of butterflies and flowers inspired a garden that was created for her, in the hope that it could make her happy. For though the garden was truly magnificent, she always felt desperately alone, as she waited for true love to someday find her. Then one evening, as the Princess was returning to the castle a handsome young prince rode up on his horse.
He was lost and asked if he might have a drink of water from the well. Gladly, she drew the water herself, handing him the ladle and holding his gaze with eyes that sparkled lovelier than the brightest flower. And after he had finished, he found he could not leave her, for her kindness and beauty had conquered his heart. Legend tells us that they reside there still, among the garden flowers...
