Just testing i have this right, if i have - hello everyone! May have met some of you before - i do Bog Oak sculptures and ornaments

somebody might like to try some of these shows - am doing the show in Dundalk on St Patricks day myself. I did one previously in Co Meath and while the crowds weren't huge the set up was first class.

I can't post a link apparently but its run by "crafters ireland"
