The idea of having a handwritten message from your grandparents or parents in 20 years time when handwritten messages will be a thing of the past is pretty special.
"The story behind the Message in a Bottle journey for me began with a very rare event, namely, my daughter’s bedroom clean up!" says the Cork-based entrepreneur behind the idea, Mai Manning.
During the clean-up, Mai found a little trinket box that contained a tiny note with tiny handwriting from the tooth fairy. The idea of the marking of a special time in a child’s life combined with the keepsake of a loved one’s handwriting triggered the idea.
"I knew of Siobhain Steele’s lovely work with ceramic bottles." Mai explains. "She loved the idea and Message in a Bottle was born.
As if this idea wasn't sweet enough (we only wish these were around when we were little) for every bottle sold, Message in a Bottle will make a donation to CMRF Crumlin.
