Up-coming craft fairs to keep us shopping for the next few weeks

Carol O’Callaghan previews some up-coming craft fairs to keep us shopping for the next few weeks.

This weekend the Cork City Hall Craft and Design Fair is underway, with 85 exhibitors offering crafted products to help tick a few items off the Christmas shopping list.

The perfect gift for a tea-loving friend, and a must-see is the knitted and crochet work of Crosshaven native Helen O’Leary. She’s offering, not only her delightful Michael ‘Tea’ Higgins tea cosy, made in the image and likeness of the venerable man himself but a new product which Trumps it.
