    Amazing... and couldn't resist buying a beautiful pendant from their shop :-)
    I was surprised at the colours of the Connemara Woman's shawl and would have expected red. Thanks so much for passing on the info Chris and Clara.

    They are fabulous photos... I haven't looked at the pendants, might be safer not to. ;-)

    As for the colour of the shawl, I guess even Connemara women like a change now and then. Very pretty though...

      Oh, it's not just the pendants that would tempt you Chris... {chuckle}
      However, I must say that these stunningly beautiful handmade goods are quite reasonably priced.

    Methinks I had better not look, at least for now ;-)
