It's been such a long time since I made for the sake of play and discovery. And yet I always walk away with at least one thing I love, which truly is the greatest gift of all 💕
Can't tell whether these remind me of Pacman, peepers or dragonflies!
Let me know what you see 💖

My pink orchids are just so beautiful I had to share!

They've stayed smiling brightly and blooming full, throughout the entire winter of 2022.
And their cheery spirit shows no signs of stopping! 💞💐🎋

I''d also like to take this moment to offer a huge thanks to all of you guys for keeping me going and inspiring me to stay encouraged every single day.
Your support for my little business means more to me than you will ever know 😊

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE,

This has been a funny week. So many of my friends and family have felt out of sorts and a bit off kilter, myself included.

Things are all feeling a little squeezed and sometimes we forget to remember the things to feel grateful for.

The ancient Irish people believed that the Oak tree was imbued with the promise of strength, courage, wisdom and resilience.

This tree pictured below is one of the oldest Oaks in Ireland, with estimates ranging anywhere from 400 to as far back as 800 years of age.

This beauty has been named King Oak.

It lives on the estate of Charleville Castle in Tullamore, Offaly and the sheer span of it truly is a sight to behold.

It reminds me to stay strong, keep going and take solace in the wisdom and resilience of mother nature.

And I hope by sharing its image, it may help brighten your day too 🙏💚🌿🌍

Have a wonderful Sunday everyone x

Revisiting some of the gorgeous colours in our BookBarks today.

I love the brightness of this blue 💙

These bookmarks have been handmade by me in my Meath based studio from the bark of the oak tree.

This material is so incredibly soft they are a joy to hold and are a perfect, (dare I say Christmas stocking filler!) sustainable and eco friendly gift for you or your favourite book lover

In the spirit of sharing a little bit of my background, this is a shameless selfie of me and my other passion, my art practice ☺️

I'm so privileged to have continued opportunities to show my work, (I trained as a sculptor and installation artist), and I'm incredibly grateful to the exhibition spaces and wonderful people who make this happen.

You can still catch my textile piece, Quietly Quilting, and so many other incredible works, in the Sculpture in Context Exhibition in Botanic Gardens, Dublin.

Exhibition closes next week 💛 🌳🍁

Happy colours, happy Wednesday 💕

Ever wonder what happens to the story in your book when you close the page?

What if the bookmark you chose to keep your place brought the words inside on a journey of their own.

Our sustainably sourced cork leather bookmarks have been inspired by the ancient and mythological, Celtic Tree Alphabet of OGHAM.

Each symbol references a tree or shrub which was sacred to our ancestors.

From Birch to Ivy and Oak to Holly, each one brought their own magic and affirmations and we wanted to honour that special history with a little life of our own.
And with seven different bookmarks you're bound to find the right one for you.

Choose from your favourite sentiment, tree, or even the colour you like best and let us at Grassroutesdesign bring a little pop of magic to the pages of your story. 🙂🌳💕
