Love is in the air ! and we love this time of year to celebrate those who are closest to your heart. February 14th is a good reminder to show your love and admiration not just for your significant other but for those that have supported you throughout the year. It may be a partner, a family member, a neighbour, a friend or even a colleague. We have some great ideas for you which shares our love for all things made local.

Spring is in the air! Nothing expresses the energy of life quite like the vibrant brightness of the first flush of leaves in Spring. The Spring Leaf pendant by My Tribe draws inspiration from the effervescent energy of joy in new beginnings. Displaying the tribal markings of patterned dots and strokes, this unique pendant is a handmade solid fused glass with a 925 sterling silver chain, lovingly crafted by Michelle Hynes in Tuam.

Sinead O’Toole’s affordable bright signature jewellery pieces are perfect for young love. Cré Rua Ceramics are created in small batches with no two pieces the same. Her charming ceramic heart stud earrings made from white earthenware clay decorated in a bright red glaze with 24 carat gold lustre. 

‘When there are no words’ a Barbara Browne print will say it all for you. Unique, quirky, a present with character and created only up the road in Croghan. Art certainly gets to the heart!

And if your heart lies with your county then check out Emma McLoughlins’s limited edition illustrations celebrating her unique perspective of counties around Ireland.  Each print is individually silver leafed, signed and numbered by the artist. Emma’s illustrations are extremely popular with our customers with some counties selling out, so don’t delay in bringing your loved one's county home. 

There's nothing like a mother's love, show your appreciations for all she does with a Walking with Grandma calligraphy print by Carol McLoughlin, poetry that will melt her heart.  For the man in your life we have subtle treasures such as cufflinks and lapel pins. If you’re looking for something more casual, keep your man cosy from the chilly nights ahead in a McKernan handwoven scarf from Co. Clare. Made from 95% virgin wool and 5% cashmere gives a luxurious soft feel as well as providing optimum warmth. 

Recording special moments with loved ones is something to be treasured. A thoughtful practical gift that encourages reflection and self-expression is a hand bound notebook made by Barbara Hubert, complimented with a delicately carved yew pen by Leitrim maker Roy Humphrey's. Our customers both male and female love the soft leather and fine details of their durable range.
