Unusual & Quirky Gifts inspired by the sea
My Story
Hi, my name is Cristina and welcome to the Naturally Quirky Collection!
What inspires Naturally Quirky?
My fervid love of the sea
Memories of strolls on a Tuscan beach
A perspective shaped by my dual cultural heritage, with an Italian and a Finnish parent
And my unbelievable fortune to live amidst rolling hills and stunning forests, with the Irish sea sparkling in the distance.
It is here, in my home nestled in the beautiful Dublin mountains, that I create, sketch and design my artwork. Simplicity and elegance, natural materials and a quirky look are the four key elements of my designs.

Customer Reviews
APOLOGIES FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.
My sincere apologies to all my customers for not showing up for a while…unfortunately it has been a very hectic and difficult time. Things can happens all simultaneously in a family life, between 1 son contracting Covid 19, a family funeral and my mother critical in hospital.
Unfortunately sometimes you need to park everything on the side because life takes different turns.
It's a very particular difficult time for me at the moment so I'm just showing up to apologize for not being present or showing up so please bear with me.
My shop will be closed till the 10th of August so hopefully will be back on track soon.
SPECIAL GIFTS FOR SPECIAL OCCASIONS!
I'm very glad this piece of jewellery was bought for a best friend's 40th birthday!!
I was just about to leave to Galway, when I received a phone call on my mobile and guess what? I didn't answer!!
It is not my intention to ignore customers but recently I have been receiving a lot of scam calls, so they have put me off completely in answering my phone!!…
I STILL LOVE MY CUSTOMERS!! 💕
It was so lovely to receive an email from this lovely lady I met years ago in one of my exhibitions. She had already bought from me two pieces of original artworks so she thought of me when thinking to buy a gift for her best friend's 40th birthday.
Hope she had a great birthday and loved her piece "Jewel of the sea"!

SPECIAL GIFTS "Joy"
This was an other recent commission and delighted how it turned out.
Delighted with joy to walk in the Silver Strand again this year, not the most beautiful or shiny day but it is still beautiful when lushing rain…
Joy are the little things in life that makes you happy, so finding a place where you can walk as if you are kissing the earth with your feet is pure JOY!-:)even in the rain!😉🌧️🌧️

MEANINGFUL GIFTS
A special and meaningful gift for a teacher with A GIANT HEART.
It is always a great pleasure for me to create pieces with special meaning for people who deserve special celebrations!
This one was one of them…
Loved going to my garden to pick special foliage and flowers to add a personal touch to decorate my ECO GIFT BOXES!
You can link in my Bio to discover new pieces I will be adding over time!
You can choose your own TITLE too for your piece and the colour background if you wish so you can adapt on the colour scheme of your house.
Be unique, be quirky!!😉✨🎁

An other great review from customer after receiving my Solitary Panda, a lovable piece of artwork for Panda lovers.
Perfect both for adults and children alike.
Scroll across to see a pic of the lovely panda in his new house.
Do you know you can name your own panda if you wish too and give him a special name chosen by you?
A solitary panda is always in need of great company, make yours a special and inseparable companion!!

"WHEN LOVE INSPIRES"
This is one of my latest commission for a birthday girl.
I enjoyed making this piece, a new design was inspired by an other piece and voila', 3 little hearts representing a new family who just purchased a new house.. What a great way to start a new family home!!
Loving this quote so I just like to share it:
"The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart." – Helen Keller

TOP OF THE CHARTS
🥇We all know what happens when you go to the top of the charts!!
🏆Well, this is only an interpretation but I think this quirky jazz trumpet is only trying to announce a special message: You are on the TOP OF THE CHARTS!!
🧍♂️I'm thinking Father's day at the moment!!
Perhaps you don't need to say much…just SURPRISE HIM with something very special…
So here a quick guide for the special day:
1. Surprise him with a special bottle of wine, crafted beer or crafted Gin or whiskey @obrienswine .
2. A handmade card made by you or you can buy a beautiful crafted one at @lyndasstitches.
3. Surprise him with a very special HOME MADE dinner, look up great recipes from @nevenmaguire . Have a look at how many delicious recipes you can FOLLOW and of course you can follow him too! 😉
4. Present him with a very special and quirky piece from the Naturally Quirky Collection which can be customised with name and date. (I'm not trying to impress!! 😉😂)
5. Give the best shot to the one who deserve the best on Father's day and tell him he will be always remembered as number 1 on the charts!! 😉
6. ENJOY THE DAY!!
7. I know, I know, 20 of June is far away but in the meantime, you can practice your meal, make or order your cards, purchase a quirky gift and start picking and choose your special bottle… (you can still add one on the list for yourself for tasting… 🤣 😂)
Be unique, be quirky!

DID YOU KNOW?
I don't know where I'm going but I'm on my way… 🤣
This is "VOYAGE" which translate from French the JOURNEY!
This is a meaningful piece of artwork from the Naturally Quirky Collection ..
Sometimes I'm like a swing, moving from one direction to an other!
but that's good right?
Your creative journey does never follow a straight line!!
I like this quote from Martin Luther King Jr:
If you can fly, then run.
If you can't run, then walk.
If you can't walk, then crawl,
But by all means keep moving.
And so I do!! 😉 😉

WHEN A BIG SMILE SAYS EVERYTHING!!! 😁
Is he not adorable? This is Brayson.
🦒When you make a child so happy receiving a Quirky Giraffes piece, what can you ask more?
It's the best gratification you can get!
✨A feedback doesn't necessarily needs words!! 😉 😉
🤾He is so cute, you almost want to have an other child…. 🤣😂 Did I just say that?
No I'm just kidding….. I'm leaving these pleasures to other people now, although I must admit, those years were the best years of my life! Hyper, active and on the move all the time but great!! Enjoy when you have young ones, time passes so quickly!!
👩👦👦Sometimes you do miss those moments, but when you get pics like this one, that makes it all!!
THANK YOU BRAYSON!
