A True Friend

From the Gaelic Cairdeas, meaning 'Friendship'.

This framed Ogham Wish is a beautiful gift for a special friend, presented in a classic black wooden frame! Each individual piece is handpainted on handmade paper by Ethel Kelly in Co. Roscommon, Ireland. If you'd like to go a step further and have the Irish word for 'Love' as the frame, then this Gra option is just the thing.

Length: 19" x 5.75"

History of Ogham

Ogham (pronounced 'ohm') was the earliest form of writing in Ireland, existing from the 4th-9th centuries AD. Typically etched into stone or wood, it consists of a series of strokes along a line, where the strokes' quantity, length, and direction determine the letter. Most of the letters correspond to the Roman alphabet, with a few local additions, so in fact, it's a translatable cipher rather than a language, read from the bottom-left upwards. 
Some historians believe it may have been used as a secret alphabet that Roman Britain wouldn't be able to understand, while others suggest it may have been developed by early Christian communities as a form of shorthand. Most surviving examples are found on stone monuments in southern Ireland, though there are also some inscriptions in the west of Britain too, particularly in Wales.

Lovely tartan throw

This is lovely, soft and warm. I cannot remember the name of the tartan plaid but it is one of my favorites. Green, black and white, just lovely.

Mullingar Pewter Woodlands Beaker - "The Fox"

The perfect gift for a friend from far away who loves Irish craftsmanship and everything about the UK countryside. The foxes are beautifully detailed and the item is a unique and lovely keepsake I know they will treasure and enjoy for many years to come.
