Quirky Irish Icons

Maighnéid agus Píosaí Frámaithe de chuid Quirky Irish Icons - an bronntanas Éireannach is fearr!

Bhunaigh Patricia Pierce Quirky Irish Icons in 2014. Thosaigh sé ar fad nuair a bhog mo nia go Dubai. Bhí grá aige dá bhaile nua ach bhraith uaidh go mór na rudaí sin go léir nach féidir leat a fháil ach amháin in Éirinn. Leithéidí fíor-im agus bruthóg Éireannach nó cadal Bhaile Átha Cliath. Chuaigh mé sa tóir mé ar rud éigin a aimsiú dó a chuirfeadh a bhaile dúchais i gcuimhne dó, rud a d'fhéadfaí a sheoladh thar lear gan fadhb, agus rud a bhí beagán aisteach agus a raibh beagán carachtar air. Shocraigh mé an rud a dhéanann gach bean Éireannach nuair a theastaíonn uainn post a dhéanamh i gceart - déan é féin!

Rinne mé trí mhaighnéad cuisneora dó agus ansin cúpla ceann eile dá gcuid cairde in Dubaí. Bhí an-tóir orthu agus mar sin chuir mé bun leis an gcomhlacht Quirky Irish Icons agus tá muid ag dul ó neart go neart ó shin i leith.

Níl ach cúpla focal ag Patricia ach tá sí ag déanamh an-iarracht an Ghaeilge a fhoghlaim agus a chur chun cinn.

Quirky Irish Icons Magnets and Framed Pieces - the best Irish gift!

Patricia Pierce founded Quirky Icons in 2014. It all started when my nephew moved to Dubai. He loved his new home but missed all those things you can only find in Ireland. Real Irish butter, a batch loaf and Dublin Coddle . I set out to find something for him that would remind him of his hometown, something that could be sent over easily, and something a bit quirky with character. I decided to do what every Irish woman does when we want to get a job done right - do it ourselves!

I made three fridge magnets for him and then a few more for his friends in Dubai. They were very popular, and so I established the company Quirky Irish Icons and we have been going from strength to strength since.

Patricia only speaks a few words in Irish but she's making a huge effort to learn Irish and to promote it in her business!
