Just Cool.








Yep, tees and totes that feature hand drawn sketches of music biz super heroes such as David Bowie, Hall & Oats and Nick Drake, are pretty cool in my book!. This lot is the limited edition work of screen print extraordinaire EimearJean McCormack. The tee's are €28 + postage, just email EimearJean here for more info.

Every Fragrance Tells A Story




I discovered Galway's Cloon Keen Atelier, about a month ago when I got a whiff of their Limoncello candle, yep that's right 'Limoncello', with notes of Sorrento lemon peel, white flowers and vodka no less! Well the master fragrance artisans are about to celebrate their 10th Anniversary this month and filmmaker Kamil Krawczak has created a gorgeous series of little films which explore the lives of the craftsmen behind the brand (which includes a range of candles, perfume and body lotions all encased in lush simplistic designer packaging that are an art in themselves. )
 
The first short posted above -  'Every Fragrance Tells A Story' introduces Mary Mundy, Cloon Keen Atelier's Perfume Technician. She's an artist's muse, a Morris Minor lover and makes great scones apparently!..Check out that car.

A wood bofin.






I just recently stumbled across this Wood Bofin from Inishbofin, Connemara who makes these adorable wooden creations. I'm in love with that little rose stool! Check out his custom built traditional Inishbofin currach. Impressive.

Grafik Fabrik







Pretty hard not to post everything by Grafik Fabrik aka Galway textile designer Olga Tiernan. Her graphic prints, inspired by Scandinavian and Japanese textiles make for some bold, edgy patterns. (My sofa is screaming out for one of those cushions!) Plus check out these chairs she up-cycles to designer buys. Her pieces are available to buy here and here,  or if you would like to create your own bespoke pattern she is open to commissions, drop her a line at grafikfabrik@gmail.com
