Snow in Philly suburbs

Baking some orange cardamom pizzelles.

A perfect Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Birthday, Anniversary, Valentines, Mother's/Fathers, Easter, Insert your holiday here, gift. Handmade, sustainable, beautiful, one of a kind.

The SLATED Christmas video — soothing, calming, and blissfully short (unlike the Late Latee Toy Show marathon). Sit down, have a glass of something, and browse slated.ie and support an Irish business while you’re at it. 🎄✨ #SLATED #LateLateToyShow #speirgorm #Irishbusiness Reposts would be 😍

Good morning, my friends!! it’s starting to get pretty cold overnight here. I’ve added some warm products to my list for the homeless folks in my community. Please consider a donation and/or a RT. I would greatly appreciate it. 💕 Thank you and have a wonderful day! 💕 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Good morning ✨🩵 Treated myself to this candle holder for Christmas from @slated.ie Photo doesn’t do it justice. Have a good day everyone x

Poolbeg is the first sight I recognize when approaching Dublin. This landmark brings a big smile!

This, and this, and then this. Little businesses are desperate for business this year. #SLATED slated.ie

A great book for any occasion

🎁 Small gift. Big luxury. The SLATED Alphabet Coaster — carved slate, artisan-made, timeless. Perfect Kris Kindle swap. Perfect stocking moment. A present that says: “Chosen, not convenient.” SLATED Alphabet Coaster. The tiny upgrade everyone keeps. ✨ #SLATED #speirgorm #speirghorm Slated.ie

Good morning, my friend! Our friend pictured below is just passing along a great tip for #WednesdayWisdom! Here’s another: stretchy pants. And one more: If you’re the guest, bring your own Tupperware & zip top bags. You know, just to be helpful…

Very nice!

If you need a break already from all the early Christmas shopping treat yourself to the gift of Her Husbands Mistake for only 99c/99p on Kindle in the US, Uk & Ireland! 🛍️ Sx

Old Kinsale Head and Hook Lighthouse have joined the SLATED Landmark Collection. Two meticulously crafted icons with so much quiet luxury they practically whisper. Consider this your gentle nudge to “accidentally” fall in love with both. #SLATED #IrishDesign Slated.ie Reposts would be 👌

Powerful.

Waiting for the chicken to rest. The temptation to dive in is real. #SLATED

Hey kids, we are a small Irish family business. We make lovely things by hand. Could you buy something so we can pay for our Christmas packaging? Thanks a mill. #Boycottamazon #shoplocal slated.ie Reposts would be fabulous. #SLATED

It is a beautiful cheese knife!

So looking forward to next week's event with @roisinm.bsky.social in Ennistymon's lovely Banner Bookshop. It's going to be great to be back in Clare. (I'm on Clare FM's Morning Focus show this morning around 9.45. btw. Have a listen if you're near a radio) #spéirgorm #booktalk #booksky #bookevent

Still tweaking new designs for our Landmark Collection. All hands on deck to get them sorted this week. They take forever and a day to get right 😬😬 #SLATED

Please help those in need if you can!

Last Rose of the season...maybe, sitting next to a pumpkin decorated by Paul.

Will l let you in on a little secret? If you pop the code 15 in at checkout, you will bag yourselves a discount. Let's NOT spend money with the big boys. Support small Irish business. We really need you. Reposts would be wonderful. #SLATED #spheirgorm @conorvoice.com slated.ie

Stop gifting to tick a box. Start gifting to make an impact. Because appreciation done right builds teams, trust, and brand love. SLATED — Corporate gifting, but better. 💼✨ 👉 SLATED.IE @conorvoice.com

The SLATED Gilded Collection. Through a slow, intentional process, each gilded slate reveals the pattern it was always meant to hold — a subtle dialogue between surface, hand, and light. SLATED, where Craftsmanship meets brilliance. Slated.ie #speirgorm #buyIrish @conorvoice.com

Pretty morning sky

Sharing a Autumn Whiskey Bramble at #FrielsBar in Miltown Malbay (nominated for tourist pub of the year) with @roisinm.bsky.social on my next to last night of this trip. It is fabulous!

Earth has lost an incredible warrior. This woman was such a force of nature, so influential, so inspirational. "The climate crisis is the greatest challenge of our time-but if we act with courage and hope, change is still possible." She'll be sorely missed. RIP Dr Jane Goodall, and thank you.

Pretty kitty

It’s the start of the -ber months 🥶 and if you need something warming to read why not enjoy What Happened That Night for only 99p in this months KMD! Sx

Dinner... baked haddock with onions, tomatoes, green olives and a bit of garlic and baby potatoes...yum!

Ahem.

Today I traveled to the end of the Sheeps Head Peninsula. Breathtaking!

My home for the next week...

Dinner in "The Snug"..Bantry Ireland

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Watch the Dutch kick Disney in their tiny mouse gonads…

Way to go Phillies...National League East CHAMPS!! They beat the LA Dodgers 6-5 in 10 innings!!

🦅 Fly Eagles Fly 🦅

Ahem. 😎

The new tariffs are going to hit artists particularly hard if it means losing customers in the US, so I'd ask Irish people to please consider buying local, from Irish makers, where at all possible. Support that means little to a huge business makes a massive difference to small creators. We need ye.

#GardenUpdate2025 And just like that..the vegetable garden is done

This is the only butterfly I have seen this year. It is beautiful..but we are in trouble😥

Danu is wiped out!
