Bee happy with this cute little honeypot. Inspired by our friends at ‘Summerhill Honey’ makers on the Ards Peninsula in Country Down. Any excuse for some exciting research took me down the West Coast of Ireland of summer 2020 to explore the super cool ancient dry-stone beehive huts on Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry. Here I am in the drizzling rain. I find it fascinating that this style of house was still in use as recent as a hundred years ago - small, circular, single-roomed dwellings with a hole in the ceiling to let out smoke. I’ve snapped the little trinket against some beautiful zingy mustard hued Irish Linen of my ‘Roisin Top’ in ‘Lichen Yellow’, I loved how the gentle folds of it’s ruffles and un-ironed creases care captured by the light, it makes an amazing improvised backdrop.

Please note: Our current batches of these beehive decorations in both the natural oatmeal and the yellow do not have the flying lines, they are our older previous version of the design. There might be a slight difference in colour tone and texture from the listing image as we use a mixture and variety of deadstock fabric.

Condition: A portion of our beading may also be reclaimed and might show signs of wear.

Care: Decoration only. Even though they look yummy do not eat. Not a toy. Do not place near a naked flame.
