Irish lace

Spider webs, The large massive webs often called Cob webs. They can also be called Irish Curtains. Some think of it as a sign of Luck.

Gram: Oh look deary! You have some luck headed your way.
Alison: What?
Gram: The leprachuans left you some Irish Lace above the couch!

Lace Irish

used to describe people who were obsessively concerned about outward appearances; primarily to the detriment of those inside. It came from the practice of hanging beautiful lace curtains so your house looked nice from the street but having torn/broken furniture inside because you were so poor.

My mom grew up in a lace Irish home. Her mother would hang a giant Christmas Wreath on the front door but they would have no gifts... or tree.
