We went in on a Tuesday in June and we were the only people in the store. We were very careful to…read morenot let our 18 month old walk around the store and make a mess of things but could tell the employee was very annoyed that we were in there. In the kids section she couldn't decide on which wool sheep she wanted so she picked up both and was holding them in her hands.. we were all standing around her as she decided and the employee (an older woman) came up to us and rudely told us she couldn't touch the sheep and asked us to put them back... We were going to buy two wool shirts and a few other things including the sheep that my daughter really wanted but after the way she acted towards us, and the negative experience we decided to leave and take our business elsewhere.

It's a beautiful store full of sweaters, blankets, tweed, hats and other Irish mementos. There's…read moreeven yarn, all from Donegal of course. While this is full of crafts though, you won't find craft supplies here (for which I was seriously hoping). The staff are lovely and happily give details about anything in the store, and I grabbed some nubby mohair blend wool to create my own scarf with (provided I can find needles somewhere).

Gorgeous work direct from the maker (who is in the shop several days a week). Utilitarian and…read moredecorative pieces abound. Gorgeous soft geometric rainbow glazes that are highly original and calming to behold. We purchased a large bowl and coffee mugs we look forward to making a daily part of our lives (and the shop ships). A cheese shop and several great coffee/cafe destinations are nearby, plus the Dingel Record Shop up the block is not to be missed.

Found this place on a total whim. Happened to see a teacup saucer that said "Thug Life" on it…read more Hillarious. We ended up buying stuff for all of our friends and fam to take back to Cleveland.

Original Kerry Crafts is one of the 2 "Artist Coop" gift shops that Gayle and I visited during our…read morerecent stay in Dingle. This tidy little shop is right on the corner of Green and Strand. The very attractive artistic offerings were well curated and of various media and price points. Note that when I visit coops like this, I assume that the price of a piece is a fair reflection of that persons artistic skill and effort. My purchase of "The Dingle Moon" was a case in point, when I first blanched at the price, but quickly came to my senses. And what an attractive textile-based piece it is! The resident artist minding the shop was friendly, very knowledgeable about the inventory, and local custom insightful. If you want an quality alternative to the plethora of souvenir tchotchkes that you'll find in Dingle, this is one place to visit.
