Felt Folk Puppets

These beautiful puppets were designed and hand made in Ireland by Jean.  Each puppet is made with pure Merino wool and the clothes are made from felt and recycled silk.  The puppets have very fine movements and are all completely individual.  They made their debut at the Wexford Opera Festival 2012!

President Michael “T” Higgins Tea Cosy

Michael "T" Higgins knitted tea cosy

Michael "T" Higgins knitted tea cosy

This little guy was designed and made by Veronica Costello who very kindly lent it to us for the duration of our Tea Cosy Competition.  Veronica gave one to the President and apparently he loves it!

You could visit him and, at the same time, come and view the over 60 tea / caffetiere / mug cosies which were entered.  They were knitted, crocheted, felted, sewn and the imagination and craftsmanship exhibited is astounding!  We would love it if you would vote for your favourite – we have voting cards here in the shop.  All the proceeds of the competition go to St Brigid’s NS.
