Keeping our head above the water!
I started the shop in 2001 with the idea of sausages and we have grown so much in the last 13 years. We are far more than just a shop. We are the Irish community! Not to praise ourselves too much. What we help do is a lot more than selling Irish goods. We got involved in the St. Patrick’s Day parade 6 years ago and we helped add a festival that has grown nearly as big as July 4th. We are very involved in The Kentucky Rose Center. We are on the committee that helps find girls from around Kentucky and send them to The Rose of Tralee. We founded the Lexington Celtic association that meets the 1st Thursday of every month for an Irish culture evening. With free Irish dance lessons from the Kentucky McTeggart Irish dancers and music by Liam Fancy!
Right now we are finding business a little tough. There is a lot of construction where we are and it’s hard to get to us. You really have to want too! We have a parking spot beside our shop which helps a little. We will find a way to hang in here till it’s all done! But we are in desperate need for the Irish community to help support a local business!
Thank you all so very much
Hope to see you soon.

Inis Energy of the Sea
Inis is by far the most popular fragrance we sell.
Its shower-fresh smell is great for both men and women.
People are always asking me where I get the fragrance I am wearing.
And Inis makes a WONDERFUL Mother’s Day and Father’s Day gift.
So come on down to the store and load up!

Full Irish Breakfast
There is nothing like a Irish fry.
It's mainly eaten for breakfast but it makes a fabulous dinner also.
An Irish fry-up consists of:
Irish sausage, Irish bacon/rashers, Irish black and white pudding (a kind of sausage),
brown bread, Irish baked beans, mushrooms, eggs, tomatoes & a good strong pot of tea
How you prepare is easy, just fry it up!
I put the oven on a low setting If I'm making a large breakfast so I can keep the sausages etc... warm. I start with the sausage because they take longer to cook. Then the rashers, pudding,
tomato, egg. The rasher also does well under the broiler just keep an eye on them.
Cut the tomato in half and fry face down. I even fry my brown bread!
Heat the beans in a pot. This breakfast will take you well into dinner time.
Getting hungry? Come on down to shop and let us load you up. As you can see, we've got everything ready and waiting for you!!

Cadbury Easter Eggs an Irish Tradition!
As a kid growing up in Ireland, Easter was one of my favourite times. We got at least a week off school and lots and lots of Easter eggs! My mum would put all of our eggs on top of the china cabinet. There was 6 kids in my family so that was a lot of eggs on display. We would each get up to 5 eggs, Depending how much your Godparents loved you. The eggs started arriving in a good few weeks before Easter. So it was no wonder by the time Easter Sunday came around we had managed to climb the china cabinet pull out each egg and eat the goodies inside the egg and replace it on top of the cabinet like it was perfectly intact.
