Really gorgeous, bought as a gift for my father in law so I'm excited for him to see it at Christmas!
The quality and detail of these ornaments are fabulous.
Beautiful and so well made.
Love my new mugs! They’re so beautiful and I look forward to my morning coffee now more than ever.
I bought my first sheep mug as a souvenir during my trip to Ireland. They are fun, each one is unique, and there is such a sense of humour to the way the sheep are designed. A year later, I accidentally broke my mug. It took me time to find the potter that made them. They shipped them quickly and the mugs were carefully wrapped and arrived perfectly safe.
I’m so happy to have my favourite mug back!!!
