Wishlist: A Mulberry silk pillowcase perhaps?
The Orchid Suite is manufactured on site in St Patrick’s Woollen Mills, Douglas, Cork, and the design is bespoke to Celtic Interiors. It can also be sprayed in a whole selection of colours, which is handy if you just want to introduce a new piece to your kitchen. My favourite out there is the solid walnut chef’s pantry.

* Eco-friendly, ethically made and Irish? This ticks all the boxes. The beautiful mulberry silk pillowcase from The Ethical Silk Company encourages a peaceful night’s sleep while benefiting your skin and hair. Score. And best of all, it’s machine washable. It costs €45, available at www.theethicalsilkco.com P&P is €6 per shipment regardless of how many ordered.
* Those crazy kids at Ikea love coming up with names of products that I can’t pronounce. It doesn’t stop me liking them though. The Eivor Leav fabric is fun and funky, costs €8 a metre and can be made into anything, not just this pretty bag.
* Playing in the garden is one of life’s little pleasures. Having the kids play in the garden, safely occupied while you flop out for half an hour is one of life’s big pleasures. Pull the tables apart on the Sandy Bay wooden sandpit to reveal separate sand and water tables, then just push the tables together to nest for neat and tidy storage. This multi-purpose item has a small footprint, making it ideal for compact gardens or for patios. Supplied with water and sand liner and 12 month manufacturer’s warranty against wood rot and insect damage. €109.95 from mimitoys.ie
