Folkling
I found this slate grey mohair sweater in Northern Ireland and photographed it on the Cliffs of Moher.
A find so beautiful and meant not for a special occasion, but to make an everyday kind of day special.
It’s ethereally dreamy, soft to the touch and has a timeless style that defies trends and will keep you warm for years to come.
You can shop this sweater here.
A tiny collection of special tomes from my adventure to Ireland are now listed in the shop ✨
As a writer and photojournalist, literature is one of my favorite things to hunt for in shops on back country roads and down funky city side streets.
For years, no matter how little money I had, or where I was in the world, books were always the exception to any budget or any packing restriction. I have been known to carry armfuls of books onto various forms of transportation all over this world because they wouldn’t fit in my suitcase... I have long held the belief that there is an appetite in each of us that nothing like a good book can fill.
You can shop these special books from Ireland here.
I am home from Ireland and I brought this sweet little collection of vintage vessels home with me just for you guys!
Packed away all tight and snug in my carry on bag…. they’ve definitely come a long way to be here.
I believe the tiniest touches can make all the difference in making your space feel special and uniquely yours.
You can shop these pieces in my online shop here.
You all know that I am always juggling a myriad of passions, and while I’ve been at home in Virginia for the holidays and some down time to work on some writing and photo projects, I have been curating more vintage and sharing my finds from The Road this past year (and for that matter, previous years as well as I go through all of the things I had in storage while I was gone…)
Head to the shop to see what’s new and find something special for your space or your body or maybe the space or body of someone you love.
Many of these were found on a Virginia back country road on the best kind of meandering day.
Here’s to having more of those and to remembering the true and good things that make up the places we call home.
I am super excited to announce that my little vintage venture is expanding from Instagram to a full fledged online shop right here on the website!
Mark your calendars for
and keep your eyes peeled on the Folkling instagram for sneak peeks!
There will be some sheepskins, denim, cool mens jackets, special books, pieces from the 1970s (of course), homewares for your space and all kinds of other unique finds from my life on The Road this year!
Check back here on www.agirlnamedleney.com this weekend to get a head start on your Christmas shopping and maybe treat yourself to something special too.

I have been in California for part of August, and while there I picked up a few vintage finds for folkling.
Shooting these pieces while driving up the Pacific Coast Highway was such a fun artistic endeavor for me.
It is combining many of my loves, photography, vintage, travel, all into one.
I appreciate all of you who’ve supported Folkling over the last two years of its existence. It’s a venture that I get so much enjoyment out of and not only something I preach, but practice.
I truly believe in the sustainability and ethical consciousness in buying secondhand first and appreciating that which already exists in the world.
Additionally, you are fueling my life on The Road in more ways than one, and that’s a dream for which I cannot thank you enough.
If you are interested in any of these pieces, shoot me a direct message through the Folkling instagram.
Thank you to everyone who sees value in shopping slow.
