The shopkeeper’s mother was an accomplished seamstress who stitched her daughter’s wardrobe and instilled in her an appreciation for needlework. When Rosemary was eighteen, she came across a piece of Irish lace in an antiques shop—its filigree pattern and fine workmanship capturing her attention and her heart. With that first snippet, she began a collection that has spanned more than thirty years and led to her business, Sheelin Lace.
Everything about this shop and it’s content is just beautiful. Lace is one of favorite things in all the world, and I feel so privileged to see it here, via my computer.
Absolutely amazing collection! I thoroughly enjoy seeing it, knowing someone is preserving those lovely pieces. Wish it wasn’t so far away because I could spend day after day there.
