Not too many craft products are designed by one person and produced by another on the same little street in Dublin. #bloom2023

If you find yourself at #bloom2023 be sure to drop by the craft Village and visit our neighbour Adelle Hickey. All beautiful designs are by Adelle and we are delighted to produce all her hand bound notebooks.
