In the Delaware Valley, we're up to our Irish eyeballs in Irish shops. (Check out our handy searchable list.)

Still, there are some Celtic goodies you can only buy online. For those, we offer this short list, heavy on the local talent:

www.celticclothing.com While Charlie Lords of Chadds Ford, PA, has a nice line of Celtic clothing, he also sells beautiful jewelry. In the interest of full disclosure, we're one of Charlie's affiliates and we get a cut of whatever you buy when you click through his ad on our pages. Any money we make gets plowed back into the site, which is now, for us, still an expensive hobby. So, we encourage you to buy early and buy often.

www.woodenpenworks.com The handmade pens in this web shop are gorgeous and feature a Claddagh, coats of arms, or a Celtic cross. The Celtic designs run from $55 to $65. The company has 11,000 coats of arms (I found mine!) which are engraved in olive wood imported from Israel.

Irish Landscapes
Looking for a nice photo of that wonderful village you visited last summer? Irish landscape photography is pretty expensive. We found a couple of sites where you can get them at reasonable prices.

http://www.celticscenes.com/ is a site run by Lisa Carbrey of New Jersey. Her prints run anywhere from $15 to more than $150, depending on framing. She also offers photobooks; contact her through her site if you're interested in a particular village. Her work is also available at Celtic Shores, an Irish shop in Northe Wildwood, N.J.

http://kliffklegg.imagekind.com/ is a site set up by one of our flickr.com friends, Brian J. Kelly, an art teacher and talented painter and photographer from Connemara in Galway. His photograph of clouds over Lough Nafooey will steal your heart away. He also has some lovely prints of Connemara ponies for the horse lover on your list. Prints start at less than $10; framing and matting are extra.

www.theroadsofireland.com  contains lovely photographs of some of Ireland's picturesque lanes by Moore College of Art grad Helen Lavelle, who donates the proceeds from the sale of her art work to a variety of charitable causes. Lavelle says she was five years old when she saw her first leprechaun--undoubtedly on roads like these.
