4 minutes into watching How To To Get To Heaven From Belfast and the "I know where that is" spotting game has already escalated to "I know who made that scarf" @saraoneill.bsky.social yer notifications must be a melt
Thon @saraoneill.bsky.social’s Eadach clothing is getting good coverage on How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. Saoirse in the orange-hued bomber jacket at Christchurch in Dublin and later on the Late Late is particularly stand out.

People who make beautiful things with love, things that celebrate people & places, are always a joy to see and breath of fresh air among so much toxicity Accounts like @ciaraioch.bsky.social @annlizkelly.bsky.social @saraoneill.bsky.social @davemeredith.bsky.social & MANY more Ty for your work 👏

Gorgeous Christmas cards have arrived courtesy of @saraoneill.bsky.social and @womensaidni.bsky.social If you are lucky enough to receive one of these, you’ll know you’re my favourite
Watched Saving Mr Banks yet again…extraordinary film From what I’ve read about her they’ve managed to add a taste of the layers & complexities in PL Travers’ character (one of the most fascinating writers to have ever lived) A movie of much more depth than it might seem @saraoneill.bsky.social
And thats a @saraoneill.bsky.social Eadach scarf so already have notions lol
I have treated myself to an Éadach kimono from @saraoneill.bsky.social and I love this detail which I am adopting as my new motto #HaveNoSorrow
Just received an advent calender in the post it made my day. There's something about opening the doors that speaks to my inner child. This @saraoneill.bsky.social card is stunning. Thank you so so much @katebielinski.bsky.social for making my day 💖
This has become a great Christmas tradition. Order your cards here 👎
Sara O’Neill@saraoneill.bsky.social · 11mo agoBecause the Millie character is a homage to our grannies, aunties, mas, generations of Mná Ultach maybe no longer with us, it feels like it’s their support, strength, community reaching back to support women today who need it, through my aul pencils & @womensaidni.bsky.social 💚#UppaMillies

What i love about sending these is that it feels like I can share a tiny bit of my own soul archaeology,to some of you. Millie's places are those I've lived close to or passed every day. Often ive seen them through the same rose coloured glasses as Millie, so you get to see that too.
Sara O’Neill@saraoneill.bsky.social · 11mo agoWhen I started this Christmas card project in 2022 never did I think it would raise £50,000 for @womensaidni.bsky.social in just a couple of years but with your support that’s what we’ve done to this point. Looking forward to seeing what we add to that this year. Pre-orders are open… 1/

Could this beautiful island manor, located next to a world-famous Neolithic site and above a Pictish burial ground, be the most 'haunted' place in Scotland? 👀

This hits different. Just like Belfast castle last year, but this time it's Central Library. This millie hid there, through the Troubles, as a child. Devoured books encouraged by librarians who were in fact angels in disguise.
