My Ireland Box: A review on July's box and a Giveaway for August's!



My Ireland Box is a curated surprise box with handmade items straight from Ireland. Each month you are a member, you will receive 1 large or 2-4 Irish made/designed home goods, accessories, jewellery, stationary or beauty products. There was a little theme going on with July's box as described by Katharine, the owner:
I was totally inspired by the Irish hedgerows that currently look like they are on fire as they are lush with fuchsia and other gorgeous flowers! I chose the bracelet as it reminded me of  fuchsia (and is of very high quality!) and the beeswax candle as it is so natural and reminds me of the bees that buzz from fuchsia to buttercup along the Irish countryside. I chose the Olyart card as every time you look behind an Irish hedgerow you see a cow!

Here's what was in July's box:

A beautiful 14k gold bracelet with a flower charm and semi-precious chalcedony gemstone. I love the combination of such a vibrant gem on a dainty chain. Very pretty!



A handcrafted pure beeswax candle, which smells really sweet and natural.


And this adorable card with little cows in the landscaping.


GIVEAWAY

  5. My favorite thing about summer is the relaxed vibe. There's no stress from big holidays, you can go enjoy the beach or pool, and summer naps are a given. Ahhh.

  6. I adore the chalcedony gemstone. It's so pretty--I may need to see if I can track one or two down for my own jewelry designs.
