This year the postal system seems to be slowing down sooner than usual. Unfortunately I can no longer guarantee orders to the USA will arrive on time. The official last post dates for Christmas parcels within Ireland is the 16th of December but I would recommend not leaving it that late. Packages are already taking upwards of a week to arrive! Please don't hesitate to contact me directly if you would like to arrange collection. I will also be in the Cork Craft and Design shops in Douglas, Cork, a lot in the week leading up to Christmas and I can meet you there if that helps! I wish you all a wonderful Christmas.
