When is a charity shop not a charity shop? When it's Arthouse Meath. Arthouse Meath are a charity helping adults with severe epilepsy and learning difficulties and one of the ways they do this is through the use of art. This art is then made into prints, stationery and other things, like this bird mug. It's £7.99.
I love this 'Waterloo Sunset' print. It's a limited edition though and there's only 5 left. It's £40.
This 'Dancers' card makes me want to go out dancing. It'd be nice to send it to invite people to go dancing. That should be a thing rather than a text or email. Anyway, the card is £2.50.
All the profit made from the products is put back into the charity and the artists receive payment for their work. It's a nice way of supporting a good cause and getting a little something for yourself or as a gift. Win-win.
