Toni Fairbanks –
I bought Annie in England about 15 years ago and have love her. She has a place of honor at St Patrick’s Day here. She is beautifully made. I’m just disappointed as I was putting some things back in my closet and her box was one of them, as I looked at the address I saw that your home base was Limerick. I was just there last week and thoroughly enjoyed your beautiful town. Would have loved to visit your shop.
