Blue Beans

29/08/2026

Well… after my little summer catch-up post, I clearly got distracted again!

But I promise I haven’t been sitting around doing nothing!

There have been lots of lovely things arriving in the shop, plenty of unpacking, rearranging and generally making a mess before making it all look pretty again.

I thought I’d share one of the things that has caught my eye recently…

Sometimes I think one of the best parts of having Blue Beans is discovering something new and thinking, “Oh, I really like that!”

And there have been quite a few of those moments lately.

I’ll be sharing some of my favourites with you over the next few weeks. Have a great Saturday night everyone!

Hello folks, it's been a while since my last post. We had two lovely weeks away on holiday, followed by another couple of weeks getting back into the swing of things, catching up on life, work, and the never-ending washing!

I hope you've all had a fantastic summer so far and managed to make some lovely memories with your favourite people too.

Now that we're back and settled, I'm looking forward to sharing more with you again over the coming weeks.

Here's one of our favourite family photos from our adventures.

What have you all been up to this summer? Enjoying the sunshine? I'd love to hear!

Every picture tells a story...

These beautiful Celtic artwork prints bring some of Ireland's most legendary figures to life, from Cú Chulainn, Fionn Mac Cumhaill and Queen Medb to Gráinne Mhaol, Brigid and Óengus. Created in Ireland, each piece celebrates the myths, heroes and traditions that have shaped our rich Celtic heritage.

Whether you're drawn to the wisdom of Fionn, the bravery of Cú Chulainn, the strength of Gráinne Mhaol or the inspiration of Brigid, there's a story waiting to be discovered.

A meaningful gift for anyone who loves Ireland's history, folklore and culture, or a wonderful piece to display in your own home.

Which Irish legend would you choose?
