Show your Irish pride and fly the flag!
The tri-color flag of Ireland was based on that of France and first used in 1848. The green represents the Catholic, Gaelic and Anglo-Norman communities, the orange represents the planter group of Northern Ireland while the white center signifies a hope of peace and trust between the two.
Bridget's brother, Christopher, always puts out his flag on Saint Patrick's day. When he has his annual party, no one ever has trouble finding the house. We suppose there are no other flags on the street!?
Durable 100% nylon - sewn not printed!

NINAs, were also hung in shop and business windows when jobs were available. This reproduction sign bears "Fulton Street Sign Co." dated October 12, 1916.

Can't Find it?!
Our Shops are compiled from what we know and like. If you can't find what you're looking for read on.
Irish Shop, US & Ireland.
General, they carry Heritage Crystal (offshoot of Waterford), clothing, much else and have an inordinate number of pub & den signs. They do not carry any foodstuffs or perishables.
LollySmith, US.
General, with many items that are hard to find, such as Blackthorn walking sticks. The best Guinness collection (& prices) we've seen. They also carry a great sense of humour.
Celtic Attic, USA
They carry a wide variety of products from food to fashions, and, as the name implies, they aren't exclusively Irish. Enjoy browsing and discovering unusual items such as Celtic sea salt and a genuine St. Brigid's Cross made in Ireland of river rushes.
Simply Irish, Ireland.
General, no clothing but nice Irish Linen. Jewellry - including heraldic rings & pendants, Connemara marble, music and more.
Celtic Shamrock, US.
General, Belleek China, Galway Crystal, fun stuff and, not so commonly, - candles, food hampers & the irish Flag!
Creative Irish Gifts  Many unique products you won't find any where else. Best of all, part of their profits help support the Irish Children's Fund which fosters understanding between Protestant and Catholic youngsters in Northern ireland.
Waterford
 The name says it all - Waterford is the leading brand of premium crystal. Its products - superb handcrafted crystal stemware, giftware and lightingware - are designed and manufactured to the highest standards.
