Bought Irish art this year as gifts. Various family and friends got @Ciaraioch prints. A range of ages and interests to satisfy, and all were delighted. In particular brother’s new partner enamoured of her #Selkies, and my uncle with the #LáAnDreoilín (#WrenDay). The one awkward aunt who I couldn’t match a Ciaraoich print to was sorted by me stumbling upon a print of her favourite beach by @eolai
And couldn’t resist getting something myself, so new house will have a triptych of Irish animals 💚

Down with the pan
Give us a penny
