Ireland 5000 Years Ago
In Ireland the Great Elk wandered through the forests and mountains, it was a land of sweeping mists, gentle rain and soft sunlight.
A land of pagan carvings and mysterious rituals.
A land when the soothing lilt of the harp floated over cool crystal lakes and rivers.
It was a time of Cu Chulainn and Queen Maeve and the Red Branch Knights.
This was, indeed the Celtic Twilight.
Today we have captured the very essence of that era.
Turf from that golden age has been excavated and hand carved to create our unique rang of turf ornaments
