Back in March I gave myself a gift of a 3 month subscription to MyIreland box. I figured that after 3 months I'd have gotten some interesting things and that would be that. I didn't count on how much fun the boxes would be. I'm thinking I'll be giving myself another 3 month subscription after I get my May box.
I loved March's box but if possible I think I like April's even more.
First up is the information card that tells you a little bit about the people who made the different items in the box and where they're from.
First up is this set of mini note cards from West Cork artist Annabel Langrish. They're beautiful and unique and about 3 inches square. I'm planning on framing them and am just trying to decide if I want to to frame them in 2 groupings vertical or horizontal but I'm sure they'll look beautiful either way.
Next is this leather shamrock keychain from Holden Leatherworks in County Kerry. I'm already using it and it makes it easy to find my keys when they get lost in my purse. Plus it makes me smile.
This coaster is from Fab Cow Design in County Dublin. It's done in ancient Irish writing, Ogham. It says sonas which means happiness. I had needed a new coaster for my bedroom and this fits perfectly.
And finally, this beautiful glass paperweight with the etched in shamrock. It's from The Irish Handmade Glass Company in Waterford and I literally squealed out loud when I pulled this out of the box.
So another fabulous box from MyIreland box. I'm fascinated by Irish culture and my Irish heritage so this is easily my favorite subscription both for the connection to Ireland and the variety and beauty of what the boxes have contained. If you weren't interested in Ireland I'm not sure you'd get quite as much enjoyment out of it but it's definitely a wonderful fun way to find interesting and unique items.
