If you’re looking for a St Patrick’s Day card this year, there are a number of great ones including the St Patrick’s Day Collection. It’s great time of year to send a card abroad, and there are also new sea swimming cards for St Patrick’s Day that you can send to your swimming friends.
I’m getting a little obsessed with my sea swimmers! When I go swimming these days, the sea is usually a dark grey or as James Joyce called it ‘snot green’. What always strikes me is the colours, especially the women – mainly their bright swimming caps, towels and robes. The men are interesting too with every attire from long swimming shorts to little speedos! All of this is in contrast to the backdrop of the sea and often grey skies. Another thing that I absolutely love about all this, is how we’ve all become less self conscious of our lumps and bumps. Honestly, sea swimming is good for the soul!
I hope you enjoy the colours.

This greeting card is perfect to send to somebody you know who is in the process of mastering the art of banana bread. Who would believe that this has been a highlight of lockdown. As always, this greeting card is premium quality, eco friendly and made in Ireland. I hope you like it!
Things were quieter than usual during the lockdown. In some ways it was nice to step back and enjoy the less frantic way of life. I’m lucky as I live in the Irish countryside so I enjoyed taking time watching birds building their nests and becoming more aware of birdsong with the reduced traffic noise. The highlight was frogs – an abundance of frogs hatched close to the house and surrounded the back of the house at night!
The extra time gave me a chance to get back to drawing and painting and revisiting art mediums like pastels. There are a lot of new designs and art on the website and I decided to showcase my art.
I didn’t want to confuse things by having everything under Greeting Cards Ireland so I’ve rebranded as Catherine Dunne. This way, my art and illustrated children’s books can share the limelight!
I hope the website is clear and would value your feedback.
