Set in the picturesque village of Bellanaleck, The Sheelin Lace Shop is a treasure trove of Antique Irish Lace items and other vintage textiles and clothing. Items for sale include antique wedding dresses, wedding veils, shawls, collars, bonnets, christening gowns, 1920s dresses, feather fans and headpieces
I went for a gander here with my partner while his parents were visiting & fell in love with the place. I'm getting my wedding "bits" from the shop, its all handmade lace, not machine so expect prices to match labour. I think the veil I was eyeing up was 900 euro's although the amount of work that had gone into it was enough to leave you blind (if you made it) or gasp if you are just holding it in your hands. I think it's the perfect place to pick up something unique and traditional for your big day. I thought fellow Lolita's would appreciate the intricate and beautiful handmade lacework, if you click on any of the images you can see the individual knots!
The photo's work from the back of the shop to the front because I used the blogger app on my phone but it's worth the rummage I promise. I think it's my favourite place on earth.
