Here’s a peek at the items we received in the June box…..

Under the Pillow Paper Goods – County Dublin

This saying is a wonderful Irish saying that is loved amongst the Irish and we are sure that some of you know it well. Frame it and hang it up for all to see – we are sure that you will impress your guests with your Irish language skills.

This is a gorgeous print that will be perfect for my office or hallway.

Rachel Webb Ceramics – Galaway

When we spotted these adorable pieces of porcelain we were immediately reminded of the little raindrops that patter against the old sash window on the traditional Irish cottage in the West of Ireland. Place your raindrop by itself on a window ledge so that it can greet its fellow raindrops outside, or place a photograph in it.

This is the cutest little porcelain raindrop!!! I fell in love with it immediately. What a great way to display your favourite photo or maybe even a small art print.

Irish Granny’s Cookbook – Gill & Macmillan Ltd

This little book has the most wonderful recipes that are truly representative of the meals that our grannies use to cook us – and indeed what our mothers cook for us and for our children.

I’m a baker so this little book is perfect for me. I could spend hours paging through recipe books.

Placed – Rene Mullins – Belfast, County Antrim

We asked Rene to create something special for our subscribers this month that would fit with our Irish cottage theme and we both decided on a good quality tote with her adorable screen print of the “Bainne”, “Siucra” and “Tae” – milk sugar and tea image.

I use canvas totes on a regular basis so I personally think they are a great addition to any subscription box.

My Ireland Box Review June 2018 – Final Thoughts

What a cute box! I am very happy with the June My Ireland Box. There are a few things that appeal to me about this subscription:

it ships from Dingle, Ireland
they have a new theme each month (with this month having an Irish Cottage theme)
they include a nice mixture of items
some of the items are handmade

I think this would make a lovely gift. I really enjoyed opening the box and learning about each item tucked inside. My Ireland Box has done a wonderful job with the June box and I expect it will be the same next month and the month after……
