MEADOW GOLD
Fresh Hay • Honey • Amber
There’s a moment at the end of summer when the fields seem to turn to gold.
The grass has been cut, the evenings are still warm, and the countryside carries that unmistakable scent of fresh hay.
Meadow Gold captures those slow, sunlit days — fresh hay softened with golden honey and warm amber.
A fragrance inspired by open fields, golden light and those last beautiful days of summer before autumn settles in. 🍯🌾
Hand-poured in small batches in County Kerry, Ireland.
Memories, captured in scent.

Welcome to my little corner of Ireland. 🌿
Kingdom of Designs began with paint, paper and a love of creating things that hold a memory.
Over time, that little world has grown. And perhaps that's why the name Kingdom of Designs has come to feel more fitting than ever — I've never wanted to create just one kind of thing. 🤍

Different things, perhaps — but all part of the same little kingdom, created with the same love of colour, nature, home and beautiful details.
Paper, scent & sentiment — made to be kept...

This is a difficult post for me to write. 🤍
For years, I’ve been making my handmade cards here in Ireland and sending little pieces of my work to customers across Europe and as far away as the United States. Every order has meant so much to me — especially knowing that something I created at my kitchen table was travelling to someone in another country.
More recently, I finally took another big step and started developing my candle collection. I’ve already had lovely enquiries from people outside Ireland, and I was so excited about the possibility of slowly growing the Kingdom of Designs beyond home.
And now it feels as though I may have to put that part of the dream on hold before it has even properly begun.
I completely understand the need to reduce packaging waste and protect our environment. I’m not against that at all. But for a very small handmade business, the growing amount of registration, paperwork, compliance and potential costs involved in selling into different countries can feel overwhelming.
Big companies have departments, accountants and legal teams to deal with things like this.
Small businesses often have… one person. 🙈
The person designing, making, packing, answering messages, taking photographs, doing the accounts and trying to understand the regulations at the end of the day.
That’s me.
I’m still trying to understand exactly what all of these changes will mean for my little business, but right now there is a very real possibility that I will have to restrict where I can send my products.
And that makes me genuinely sad. Not because I expect to become a huge international company — but because small makers should at least have the opportunity to try. 🤍
If you run a small business in Europe and are dealing with the same thing, I would genuinely love to hear from you.
And if you’ve ever bought from a small handmade business, even a like, comment, share or recommendation means far more than you probably realise. 🌿
Thank you for supporting the little businesses with big dreams. 🤍

Back home after our short but beautiful holiday in Spain 🇪🇸☀️

I honestly don’t have one favourite place. We visited so many lovely spots, but when you’re surrounded by good friends, everywhere feels beautiful 😍

One of the highlights was meeting my fellow artist and beautiful art collage friend Anna, who is bravely building her life in Spain. She spent a gorgeous afternoon with us, filled with laughter, inspiration and wonderful memories. ❤️

This little break was exactly what I needed—a chance to slow down, reflect, recharge, and return home with fresh strength and new ideas for Kingdom of Designs. ✨

January has a way of dragging its feet —
days moving slowly, evenings falling early, and darkness lingering just a little too long.
Winter in Kerry is a gentle wander through a winter woodland, where citrus mist drifts through crisp pine air and warm candlelight glows softly against the night.
Bright notes of orange peel, winter sage, and tangelo open the scent, slowly warming into cinnamon bark and white clove. As it settles, smoked cedarwood and fir balsam wrap the room in calm, forest stillness — grounding, comforting, and softly nostalgic.
A little warmth for long winter evenings.
A little glow while we wait for spring. 🕯️

🍷✨ Mulled W**e – Candle & Wax Melts ✨🍷
The evenings are still long and dark, and they call for a little extra light.
Our Mulled W**e scent brings warmth and comfort with rich notes of spiced red w**e, sweet orange, cinnamon, and clove, gently filling your home with a cozy, inviting glow.
It’s a moment of brightness at the end of the day —
soft candlelight, slow evenings, and the feeling of warmth when the nights linger.
Thoughtfully crafted for quiet moments, cozy spaces, and homes that love warmth and atmosphere. 🕯️
Kingdom of Designs — where every scent tells a story.

As we step into a new year, we carry with us the lessons, memories, and quiet strength shaped by the past.
Some moments stay close to the heart, guiding how we create and move forward.
Here at Kingdom of Designs, we begin this season with gratitude, care, and renewed purpose.
May the months ahead bring health, peace, and gentle new opportunities.
Thank you for being part of our journey...
