Wish List: Legendary jewellery and some necessities

Esther N McCarthy has a hoot finding bear necessities and legendary jewellery.

* Knitting is all the rage these days. If you don’t know your plains from your purls, cheat with this gorgeous stool with a cute cotton seat, €50 from Harvey Norman nationwide.

* Jewellery designer Elena Brennan uses precious metal and gemstonestones to weave magic tales, taking inspiration from Celtic legends. The busy lady has created two collections for the National Museum in Dublin and her pieces have been chosen to be presented to President Obama’s children. Mother of five Elena has spent more than 25 years perfecting her craft. We love this guardian angel wings pendant, sterling silver, hung on a split 18in Belcher chain, price €300.
