Lilly's Lantern

I was on a short trip to Edinburgh, Scotland when I popped into a shop that sold items created by local artists and crafters. Among the lovely crafted gifts for sale was a beautiful vintage teacup and saucer with a candle made inside.  I thought to myself I can do that; well little did I know! Making a candle is easy but crafting a high performing candle is a lot harder. So with a lot of support, research and testing my first batch of candles were created ready for others to enjoy. It is important my customers are happy with their purchases. I place value on the quality of my products which sees customers return time and time again.

I am Victoria, I make crochet handbags and sell them making a contribution to CMRF Crumlin. Originally from Estonia, moved to Ireland 16 years ago, married an Irishman and now have 3 wonderful children and a handsome dog called Watson. I always knew how to crochet, but never thought much of this skill until i made my first handbag in June 2021 and got a lot of queries about it. From then on I enjoy making unique handbags and this hobby became one of my many passions. When starting a new handbag i usually do not know how it will look like at the end and this is the fun part. I have not managed to make a bag that would be identical to the one already made – which can guarantee the uniqueness of your purchase (when you make one!). So far my ‘Made with Love VC’ handbags have their owners in a few counties in Ireland, UK, Estonia and US. I am looking forward to further expand the geo location. Whenever the sale is made, I make a donation to the CMRF and update my Instagram page with a screenshot of the donation made. I am raising much needed funds by giving you something unique and beautiful back. Thank you for your interest and I look forward to making a handbag that would be right just for you! Victoria

Gaeltachtín

My primary work is in clinical aromatherapy, where I help people to manage health issues naturally. In recent years, I have dipped back into Gaeilge and as my interest grew, I began to include it in work, dealing with some clients through Irish. In 2021 I put together an Irish language diary, Dialann 2022, to foster the love this beautiful language deserves. In its first year, this diary has done very well, proving that the interest is there. I hope you enjoy using your Dialann throughout 2025

Walking with Ponies

Realising how lucky we were to live in the countryside during the difficult Covid times., we developed Walking with Ponies, a small family business to combine the tranquility of our natural surroundings and the therapeutic effects of interaction with our rare breed native ponies. We offered short walks accompanied by our ponies and knowledgeable guides to encourage visitors to learn about and appreciate our nature and rare native pony. With all restrictions a thing of the past, we no longer provide the farm visits but we continue to promote our natural surroundings and our Kerry Bog Ponies. Irish people have an innate affinity for our countryside, our natural surroundings, and our indigenous breeds. Walking with Ponies continues to provide gift items that reflect the richness of our natural environment and celebrate our special Kerry Bog Pony.
