A view of Croke Park, the home of the GAA. There has been a stadium on this site since 1891, but this view is of the redeveloped stadium completed in 2005. The redevelopment was done in 4 stages, starting in 1991, so the stadium was never completely closed during the redevelopment, and the All-Irelands were still played here every year. With a capacity of 82,300, Croke Park is the 4th largest capacity stadium in Europe and the largest not used for soccer. Not bad for an amateur sport. See the full collection of Clover Rua .

Made legendary by sadly departed DJ Andy Weatherall - Fail we may, sail we must apparently originated from a Cork fisherman who once drove him to a gig. When Andy asked if he ever felt like giving up, particularly in bad weather, after hearing a harrowing story about being out in a gale when the captain broke his leg - he uttered the famous words that describe both the folly and the heroism of forging ahead when the odds are against you. This lovely print was created by Lainey K, and is the ideal encouragement when you about to embark on a mammoth task. We have a fantastic selection of prints for all your walls. Take a look! How big is it? A4, unframed

Acting the maggot is fooling around, or messing. It denotes a light-hearted approach to whatever is going on, that can be used as an explanation - sure I was only acting the maggot , or a request to settle down - stop acting the maggot .

If you happen to be down that way, they also run a gorgeous cafe in Enniscorthy. We have a fantastic selection of prints for all your walls. Take a look! What's it made of?

We all have that special saucer, that sentimental teacup or memory-laden jug which we wish to hold on to. But what to do when they get broken? Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold. This ancient technique encourages us to cherish our broken things, to focus on the flaws, and to celebrate imperfection. By repairing an object, the product becomes unique and personal. This new kintsugi repair kit by Humade takes the traditional art of Kintsugi and makes it accessible to all. Within each kit is a special glue, gold dust, and applicators, so you can repair your broken but still cherished objects at home. Unlike traditional Kintsugi, this New Kintsugi repair kit can be used on almost any hard material such as glass, wood, marble, metal, hard plastic, as well as, of course, ceramic. This method of repair takes time and a little patience, it is not a super glue solution - rather, it is the process of rebirthing broken things with loving care and turning break lines into features in themselves. This is a wonderful gift for those who cherish their things and love to mend, repair, and reuse. Read more about the kintsugi method in our blog post. IS THE KINTSUGI KIT FOOD SAFE? The Humade Kintsugi Kit is food-safe for a max temperature of 100 degrees Celsius. If the repaired porcelain is heated above 100 degrees, the heat can melt the materials. So, to keep your porcelain food safe, do not pour hot tea water directly into a cup where the main section has been mended using our kintsugi kit, and d o not use repaired items in the oven or microwave How Does it Come? In a cardboard box. Component glue, gold powder, a brush, bamboo stirring sticks, and gloves , putty to fill up missing bits and pieces, and a step-by-step manual with detailed pictures.
