Anita Fennelly's Dresser, Ballinlaw, Co. Kilkenny - Recorded as part of The Dresser Project

Описание к видео Anita Fennelly's Dresser, Ballinlaw, Co. Kilkenny - Recorded as part of The Dresser Project

Here is a chat I had with Anita Fennelly in her home in Ballinlaw, Co. Kilkenny back in January 2024. Anita bought this dresser with her first wages when she started teaching in 1984. She bought it in Keighery’s, Waterford and was told it was made in Callan, Co. Kilkenny. In the early years it travelled with her from rented house to house in Horeswood, Campile, Dunganstown, Inistioge and Mount Elliott. She tells me she calls the dresser ‘Agnes’ and when she moved into her own house all she had was Agnes and a mattress. She adores it. Her interest in dressers was planted in childhood, getting eggs in Elizabeth Hawe's thatched cottage in Coolagh, Callan. All she ever wanted when she grew up was a dresser, a half-door and hens.
