……and though I bought several books and woven items, etc., I did not find a mug I really thought was beautiful and useful for daily use. As an avid tea drinker, I’m always on the lookout for beautiful mugs to add to my collection. I did purchase a gorgeous Book of Kells and The Long Room mugs, but they are gold trimmed and more for display. This mug caught my eye as I was scroll through my phone, and I debated for 2 days because I don’t “need” another mug…. But I pressed Send…and so glad I did. It is gorgeous, and I can’t stop looking at it. It is so pretty and just the right size. I didn’t buy it in Ireland, but I would have if I’d seen it. I’m thrilled I ordered it.
