Antique Irish Lace

Exterior and Interior of the Sheelin Lace Shop and Museum in Ireland

In addition to tasting a countless assortment of whisky drinks and taking in the Irish countryside with my honey, one of the highlights of Ireland is the Sheelin Lace Shop and Museum in Bellanaleck, County Fermanagh. Inside, a massive collection of vintage jewelry, crocheted trimmings, textiles and lace-infused apparel from the 1850's to 1920's is carefully arranged to dazzle anyone who walks through the gate. As the perfect complementary touch, there's a tea shop adjoining (The Sheelin Tea Shop)--unfortunately it was closed during our visit.
