As far as I can tell, Fado is the only one in Dingle, with antiques downstairs and a cool little art gallery upstairs. Gayle came along and put up with my wandering through Fado, both of us knowing full well that we didn't need one more thing to clutter up the house. That's rarely stopped me, and among the nicely curated offerings here, I found a little item to take home for some still undefined use.

We popped in while wandering around Dingle and spent a few minutes inside looking through all the wool sweaters, hats and socks.

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.

While this is full of crafts though, you won't find craft supplies here (for which I was seriously hoping).

They have everything from large backpacks to small cord organizers - all handcrafted in their adjacent shop. You can even watch the work occur before your eyes through the storefront's glass that looks into the workshop. I picked a vibrant red handbag that I will use for many decades to come. Also, if you find something you like, but they don't have it in a specific color, you can also have it special-ordered, and they will ship it to you.

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.

There's a really nice cafe upstairs that I believe was a missed Lunch opportunity. Downstairs could be construed as a tourist shop, but I think the quality is higher here, albeit at maybe a higher price point.

Store staff were there to help, and pretty much waited until you asked or looked confused.

The staff was very friendly and sociable. The shop had a nice selection of crafts and keepsake gifts. In addition they had the typical magnets, mugs, rosary beads, jewelry and many other items.

The scarfs were beautiful and priced low compared to some of the other gift shops that we visited. The pottery was beautiful and had some lovely local art on them.
