I act the disgruntled husband when my wife or daughter drags me in here, but the truth is that I love chatting with the friendly staff or just sitting down and watching people shop. Fun place, nice people, incredible selection of woolen goods and fabrics.

While we were in Blarney, Cork, Ireland, we visited the largest Irish shop in the world!! Blarney…read moreWoollen Mills Baby!! This shop has been around since about 1823 (I believe). Pretty impressive! We only had about 30 minutes to browse Blarney Woollen Mills. In that time, Wifey found a very cool jacket to purchase at an affordable price point. In that time, she also forgot her sunglasses at the shop. We already faraway from the shop when she realized that she misplaced it. She immediately called the shop, but by that time the sunglasses were nowhere to be found. The employee who answered the phone was not very helpful or sympathetic though. Very sad and disappointing customer service!!! Despite the loss of my wife's beloved sunglasses, it was still an okay experience overall. This shop carrys all kinds of clothes, crafts, food, plus so much more. Blarney Woollen Mills is known as having the great Irish Shopping Experience after all. Absolutely check this place out after you kiss the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle of course. Just don't forget any of your possessions while you are here because chances are great that they will be unable to help you.

I remember it having all the souvenirs you could want, including wool - at reasonable prices. We visited again after Blarney Castle but we had limited time since it closes at 6 PM and we got there at around 5:30. I managed to find a cute little sheep stuffy for my daughter, and an ornament for my sister. I remember buying wool the last time I was here. If I had more time to shop, I probably would have done more damage, so maybe it was a good thing the store was at closing time.

Just outside of the main hall under Farmgate Cafe in a garishly modern corridor, and sharing space with luggage shops and a tweeny bopper boutique, this ornate boutique specialises in vintage furnishings, furniture and jewellery. There are expected space fillers like bulk-order glass tile mosaic mirrors, scented candles and velvet scarves. But pick through the stock and find the real treasures here: vintage opera handbags, revived dressing tables and sparkling costume jewellery. Duck in after a browse through the vintage clothing shop across the hall for a transporting, glamorous experience.

I have visited the local shop multiple times during my semester in Cork and each time I am delighted to get lost in expansive bookshelves! The shop has a great selection of both used and new books and makes buying lots of books easy with plenty of mix and match deals ensuring you get the most bang for your buck! Vibes & Scribes is one of those stores where you walk in not knowing exactly what you'll discover. I repeatedly find books that I've been meaning to read as well as books I've never heard of but want to dive into! I can't bring myself to walk past the shop without stopping in, especially on rainy days (which are common in Ireland) spent meandering downtown. The staff is also incredibly helpful and friendly. I remember on my first stop into the shop, the cashier asked my friend and I about how we were enjoying Cork and gave us some local recommendations for restaurants and live music. Next time you're looking for your next great read, you'll be able to find it at Vibes & Scribes!

There is a real mix of what you can buy in this shop too, i mean it does not specialise in any one product, you can get jams or glass ornaments or pottery or Aran jumpers (and anything else Aran you can think of!) and any number of things that have leprechauns or Celtic designs printed on the side. One interesting thing about this shop is the old petrol pump outside the door, there is no petrol available in it and there has not been for years but it still stands there looking all lonely on the side of the road. It's just nice to imagine that at some stage in its life it was used and imagine what the cars looked like then! Anyway, hopefully its never removed, its an odd bit of history for Glengarriff.
