''Would you ever
be good girleen and.......''
Girleen Giftware is a family business run by husband Danny,
wife Catherine and their 3 littleones.
The name 'Girleen' is a tribute to their Irish backgrounds
and upbringing where 'een' was often added to the end of words. Inparticular,
Catherine's Mam would often refer to her as a 'good girleen', hence the name.
Girleen Giftware's products have always reflected the family's
interests. In the early days of the business, Catherine worked independently,
selling a range of Irish, Celtic and Religious goods including handmade cards
with inscriptions in Irish Gaelic. The range has also recently expanded to
include signs, again in Irish Gaelic.
Danny, a joiner by trade, then became more involved in the
business and the product range again developed. The family's mutual love of
Vintage led to ongoing searches for beautiful cups, saucers and plates to be
made into cake stands and bird feeders.
A wider selection of cards have been developed and a range of
slate products are now available including: shaped boards, coasters and
placemats.
Girleen Giftware's particular area of growth has been the
production of wood products. Danny's training has been put to great use
developing a wide range of products such
as chalkboards, coats hooks, trugs, wooden crates and bookends and wine racks,
all of which can be made to customer's requirements.
