Curious sheep checks out the size of his luggage to see if he can avoid
paying for a plane ticket but decided he would rather buy the ticket
and save the luggage space to bring home great
new items
for the store.
Curious Sheep went on his annual buying trip to Ireland in July 2005.
His friends, John and Doris, along with Curious's boss, Janne O'Donnell
(not pictured) spent 12 days traveling throughout Ireland searching for
the finest Irish products to bring back to the store. Securtity was
tight at the Oklahoma City Airport. Curious had to explain to the
security guards that he couldn't take off his shoes because he doesn't
wear them.
Branigan Weavers in Drogheda, County Lough, was Curious's first stop. He
bought 30 new
capes
in 4 new designs. The capes sell very fast, so
Curious urges you to order yours soon.
Curious and friends used a lovely cottage in
Kilcar
, County Donegal, for
a week as their home base. Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, Mathew
Broderick, have a summer home in Kilcar. Curious didn't have time to
invite the two over for cocktails because he was too busy
shopping for traditional Irish products to sell. Maybe next year.
Talk about it being a small world! Curious Sheep ran into three of his
Irish relatives outside a store in Liscannor, County Clare. His three
cousins were there visiting the
Burren. Cousin Wooly, the black sheep of
the family, is Curious's favorite cousin.
