There are many things that make Joy of Ireland different from other online retail operations. For one, our store is a "bricks-and-mortar" business that has been established for over 15 years. We have the real world resources and experience necessary to bring you the quality of goods and services that you demand as a customer.

More importantly though, Joy of Ireland is different because of the people we do business with, from our vendors in Ireland to our customers here in America. It is this community that gives our business that natural personal touch. It's also why we love our work as much as we do.

Family owned companies in Ireland like Studio Donegal, located in Kilcar, Co. Donegal are a sheer delight to work with. Owners Kevin and Wendy Donahy, and their three children Tristen, Natasha, and Marcus are the kind of family that inspires you to to be a better person. For the many years that we've known them, we've seen how committed they are to their business and to each other.

Another example is Nicholas Mosse Pottery in Bennettsbridge, Co. Kilkenny. Witnessing how these skilled artists gently apply colors with sponges to create designs and motifs, or the pleasure of seeing Nicholas Mosse's broad smile and hearing his cheery laugh as he gives us a tour of his converted 18th century flour mill affords us a special appreciation and understanding of the products we sell.

We feel that these personal associations with craftsmen and manufacturers benefit you, our customer. Quite simply, we're excited about our work and about the merchandise we offer. And, it shows!
