“We describe Chalk AND Easel as an interiors store with a difference,” says owner Emily Connell. The eclectic stock in the Ballinspittle, Co Cork store includes Italian Uashmama washable paper products, kitchen gadgets by French brand Cookut and La Bougie candles. 

"Chalk and Easel is a gift and home wares store run by Emily Connell and Sam the shop dog, in the wee village of Ballinspittle, Co. Cork. Our aim is to provide items for the home, furniture, lighting, art, kitchenware and gifts for yourself or others, carefully selected for their natural, environmentally friendly materials and production methods."
