Thread Softly

Hi,  I’m Kathleen and I am a maker of hand-made textile  accessories, all of which are designed and made in my home in Dublin, Ireland. I concentrate on sourcing beautiful fabrics to create practical lifestyle accessories. My main product lines are bags and snoods, with my winter snoods being my best selling product. I am a start-up company who moved from a market business into the online space in 2020. I have always had a passion for fabrics and for making. In 2020,  after a lifelong career in technology and in education,  I decided to turn my passion for making into a small business. My inspiration comes from beautiful fabric design and textures,  from the colours of the sea and I love the of the design influences of Japanese and Scandi cultures. My ethos is on sustainable design and the circular economy and many of my bags are made from recycled and reworked fabrics.  I support the slow fashion movement and am very happy to mend products for customers if needed (I have replaced a bag strap where a dog chewed the original…. twice :-)). All  products are affordable and are ideal as gifts for others …. And of course  for yourself. The company name is very special to me and is ‘borrowed’ from one of my favourite poems – The Cloths of Heaven by William Butler Yeats  – which finishes with the line “ ……..I spread my dreams under your feet, Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.”

Making Moments Magical

Hi, my name is Audrey from Dublin.  I have a love for crafting and Christmas. I have 2 small children and I am trying to keep the Christmas magic alive for as long as possible.  So putting my two favourite things together, I have set up my little business. Hopefully this can bring some Christmas magic to your house.

Sarah Elliott Fine Art

Originals, prints & greeting cards. Painted, Printed, Produced & Packaged all in West Cork, Ireland. I print all my prints and mount / frame all my own originals & prints. After studying art at school, I didn't paint again until 2013 when my partner and I decided that we would move to West Cork to be closer to his family. Once here, it didn’t take long for me to feel completely at home. With the beauty and vibrant colours of West Cork surrounding me, the urge to paint took hold once again. I am a self taught artist. I love subtlety of colour, tone & texture & primarily use acrylics, watercolour & chalk pastels. The landscape, seascape & wildlife of West Cork are truly breathtaking and the inspiration for my work.

MyDigitalCottage

Hi my name is Dave and I am the maker of all the items in my store. I'm design and produce all of my products from in a little workshop in Cork City but can be found at the Marina Market, Cork from time to time. I initially designed the Hurley Holder for all of my kids hurleys that I found myself tripping over or could not find when it was time to go training. Finally there was a space saving way to keep aal of the hurleys tidy.

Sock Talk

SockTalk was set up in 2022 by Mike Shyne. Based in Limerick, Mike wants to help spread the conversation about mental health, based on the experiences of others and his own experiences suffering from anxiety. Mike appeared as the first male contestant on RTÉ’s fashion TV show The Style Counsellors in January 2022. Together with the team on the show, he was able to dramatically transform his wardrobe and style to better reflect his personality and physique. After his transformation, he immediately noticed the effects on his well-being and confidence and learned about the importance of simple acts of self-care. With SockTalk, Mike wants to show how clothes can both dramatically affect one’s mental health for the better. Not only do the products available on the website provide a positive message about mental health, but it also shows that simple gifts of clothing to another person can dramatically improve their wellbeing.

The Clay Conifer

I’m a busy Mam of two living in the beautiful Hill of Down, Co Meath next to the Royal Canal Greenway so when I'm not working you'll find me there walking my lovely dogs. I'm a social care worker by profession and I work with youth in mainstream residential care. However,  I have always been a creative soul too so my clay work is how I like to explore that . My goal is to be your ‘go to’ business to shop for quality handmade clay gifts for all occasions.

Margenta Jewellery

I have always loved crafting and being creative. Over the years I have practiced many different crafts like painting and sewing. I have attended a variety of classes and hold a certificate in Visual Art Practice from the National College for Art and Design. Some years ago I started making jewellery and I absolutely loved it. I have worked with many materials – silver, copper, glass, resin, beads, gemstones and lots more and have no particular favourite as yet – I like them all! My proudest moment on my jewellery making journey has been when my son asked me to make his wedding ring. I hope you enjoy looking at my creations as much as I have enjoyed making them and I would be delighted and indeed flattered if you wish to purchase any of them. Thank you for taking time to visit my shop. Jewellery loves to be worn so don’t leave it lonely in a box, wear it, enjoy it and let others admire it too.

Anita's Crochet Gifts

Hi I’m Anita and I love to crochet. I learned from a very dear friend and I now crochet in her memory. During lockdown, I created a craft room in my office space and it quickly became snowed under with yarn, hooks, finished blankets, wall hangings. You name it. Friends and family encouraged me to start selling my items and I couldn’t believe how well received my Christmas decorations were when I advertised through the Shop in Ireland Facebook page. I am so lucky to spend my spare time making decorations I love and sharing them with people who really appreciate the effort and love that goes into handmade items. Thank you so much for reading all that, I’m delighted you stopped by to have a look.
