Hold on tight

Hold on Tight captures a tender moment between a child and a guiding figure, walking closely together in protection, trust, and quiet connection.

A thoughtful and lasting gift, rooted in memory, care, and belonging, with free shipping in Ireland.

Inspired by a vintage photograph of my aunts on Enniscrone Beach in County Sligo in the 1960s, Hold on Tight reflects a moment of closeness that feels both personal and universal.

The original piece was created using Irish linen, hand embroidery, stitching, and beading on a vintage Foxford wool blanket. These blankets, once a staple in Irish homes, carry a deep sense of familiarity and resilience—echoing both comfort and memory.
