WoolCore Designs



Love these colourful and quirky bags from Woolcore Designs. The
couples seat bag is pure genius!  All their products are wool based and hand crafted in Wicklow.  They have the cutest 'woolaby' nursery range that features those little 'wooly two shoes' above.

My first festival - awhh!






Call me optimistic but they say tomorrow is going to be another warm day with summer like tendencies- two in a row, imagine. So with the prospect of actually enjoying the great outdoors this summer, how
adorable are these little teepee plays tents by Little Lemon Trees,  hand made from gorgeous patterned fabrics. What a cute little festival vibe you could get going in the garden- kinda want one myself!

Founder Elaine Keating also makes
lots of other fun and cute things for kids like these superhero and prince/princess capes, bean bags, and letter cushions.

Ah, the smell of French Linen.







Not sure if I actually own any but I'll take Max Benjamin's word for it. It's gorgeous French Linen Water Diffuser made my sister's living room smell like a Provencal laundrette, pretty impressive in my book.(sorry sis!) 

Max Benjamin started off as a candle company, run by two brothers Mark and David Van den Bergh, in EnnisKerry, Co. Wicklow. (Max and Ben are their 10yr old nephews, cute!) They do beautifully packaged soy candles (€28) with wonderful sounding fragrances (cassis & white jasmine, mimosa & sweet ambergrapefruit & pomelo, they even have this masculine number for a man treat) and a range of aromatic room diffusers (€35) that come in their own elegant vases. And if you can't decide on a fragrance, you can always start with their signature mini candle gift set.

Deck the halls with Mandarin, Vanilla, Cinnamon & Ginger























Apparently most candles are made with parrafin wax, which can be so toxic it can make your head hurt. Which is why Wicklow native Sineád O'Connor, of  Amie Organics,  makes her beautiful candles from soya beans and pure essential oils. (Yes soya!) Each AMIE candle is handpoured, cleaned & packaged by Sinead herself and costs €18.95. Her range includes, pick me up scents of Rose Geranium, detoxifying Lemongrass & Sweet Orange Oil  and this fragrant festive number.

Slates...who knew?

 



































Mr. Hammond is a roofing slater from a family of Slate Craftsmen since the 18th Century. Mrs Hammond needed a table mat for her dinner table, grabbed one of his pieces of slate and Slated.ie was born. The Wicklow based duo now produce a whole range of gorgeous handcrafted slate tableware and home products, from table mats & cake stands to clocks and cheesboards. And the beauty of slate...you can chalk a little message on it. (image credit: slated.ie)
