Springtime Renewal

ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE

Lucky Charms • Frolicking about the springtime meadow proves fortuitous, where shamrocks can be found and our emerald environs pay tribute to this cherished Irish symbol.

CAST AWAY TO CORK • Framed by the glittering waves of the Celtic Sea below, Ireland’s serene southwest spans the gamut from the lively heart of Cork city to a string of storybook harbor towns, each brimming with enchanting scenery and a thriving cultural spirit.

Renewal of Joy • Lily of the valley, a delicate herb known for its gracefully nodding bell-shaped blossoms and sweet floral fragrance, brings to our alfresco Easter table heartfelt symbolism of purity, humility, and the return of happiness.

Rare BEAUTY • Just beyond the fringes of Dublin’s city center, an inviting counterpoint to the flurry of urban activity awaits exploration.

Time STANDS STILL • At Ballyfin Demesne, dreams of living as a Regency-age lord or lady are realized as days unfold beyond boldest imaginations in a world of profound luxury and seclusion, hidden like a secret in the Irish countryside.

Beauty and BOTANICALS • In a starkly beautiful expanse of Ireland where flowers bloom between stones, a sanctuary devoted to crafting fragrances of exceptional purity captures the majesty of the land in bottles of perfume.

Into the GOLDEN VALE • Set amid Ireland’s sun-washed, verdant farmland, Cashel Palace Hotel extends a warm welcome, carrying forward its centuries-long reputation as “a place of notable hospitality,” as described in John Loveday’s 1732 diary touring through Ireland.

AN ETERNAL Glow • In the capital city of the Republic of Ireland, the world’s oldest candle company still shines bright, bringing both heritage wares and fresh aromatic offerings to lend radiance to an array of milieus.

Pressed for TIME • The delicately dried blossoms strewn throughout the studio of an accomplished botanical artist may no longer exude fragrance, but they emanate sweet memories that may be treasured forever.

Looming LARGE • Spun from the finest Irish wool, mohair, and lambswool, a rainbow of sumptuous yarn is produced with the utmost care at a historic mill in Kilkinney.

A MAJESTIC INTERLUDE • Rolling hills of green and azure lakes invite all to indulge in relaxation at this beloved Irish estate-turned-resort. A luxurious stay brimming with excellent food, scenic vistas, and joyful adventures awaits at Sheen Falls Lodge.
