Get your QUIRK on with these greeting cards, notebooks and pictures that capture the lively spirit of Kinsale, through the playful lens of the animal kingdom. The images feature some of our favourite places with animals embarking on their own little adventures around the town. In this magical place, animals are the town’s residents - you might find a well-dressed greyhound tipping his hat as he strolls down Market Square. Or a hipster bull having a pint at the Bulman as he enjoys the salty sea breeze. While a few streets away, Dolly the glamourous sheep shops for a new Foxford cape, with her sister. Meanwhile Deirdre the cow enjoys an ice cream and checks that there is enough milk for everyone to enjoy at the Milk Market. Later on, the speckled dog stops for a cheeky pint at the Speckled Door before heading home.
Each piece tells its own story. They remind us of simpler pleasures – afternoon walks, shared meals with the company of loved ones, even if those loved ones are an imaginative mix of the animal kingdom!
These products make for thoughtful souvenirs, capturing the essence of the town. The pieces offer a playful, yet heartful way, to stay connected. They evoke a sense of nostalgia for those who have visited Kinsale, and an enticing glimpse of its magic for those who have yet to explore its streets.
In a world where mass-produced items are the norm, these products are a celebration of Kinsale’s beauty, its lively culture and the simple joys of life, all through the perspective of animals enjoying their day out. The cards, notebooks and pictures offer us a chance to pause, smile and imagine a world where animals enjoy life in Kinsale just as much as humans do!
