A week (or two!) in the world of By Leahy
It was a little quieter at the bench, with Sadie and Billy on mid-term. We got away for two days to my home county of Clare. I came back to lovely requests and a nice surprise in The Gloss Magazine.
Mid-term break was a bit of a rollercoaster. William got back from a two week work trip to Australia and it was straight into mid-term. We had plenty of pyjama mornings to start. Then we were lucky to skip down to Clare for a couple of nights. One incredible highlight was visiting Bunratty Castle. To visit through the eyes of children was so much fun. I couldn't recommend the destination more.
To say we love Halloween is an understatement. Every year, Sadie, Billy, and Matty's uncle grows a patch of pumpkins just for them, and it's always such fun when they're picked. The Pokémon obsession continues in this house, making dress-up an easy decision. Little Matty was a Poké Ball 🥹. We have far too many treats left over but these are definitely memories we are cherishing making.
I was delighted to see the Slip Ring featured in The Gloss last week, alongside some gorgeous Irish brands.
Highlighting a selection of the special pieces that left the bench - a Landscape Slip Bracelet engraved with the 'Home is Where the Heart is' Sentiments Slip, captured home with the heart placed over her birth county, chosen to help her feel closer to home while living abroad; a self-gift of a Landscape Slip Necklace; one of two Connect Bracelets chosen for his little daughters, custom-made in their two favourite colours because they couldn't pick one; and a Signature Envelope Necklace to celebrate their daughter.
I made it into the launch night of Outset Gallery’s OXO 2026 Exhibition. It is Ireland's largest Christmas art exhibition, running until January 24th. Worth a look if you're in Galway city centre.
What I am looking forward to this week...
While the details are TBC, By Leahy has been invited to pop-up in a generations old store rooted in rich history, alongside a selection of beautiful Irish-made brands. I'll let you know more when I can.
Lastly, thank you to everyone that has spoken positively about By Leahy to family and friends. When I receive an order because someone recommended the brand, it means so much to me to have your endorsement. Thank you.
We have been spoilt in the west with the dry foggy weather. Here's to hoping we get another little while of it.
Thanks for joining me, and I hope you have a lovely week.
