Blooming Shoes
Dublin is blooming! There has never been such a hive of activity and creativity in the air. One of the dynamic organisations promoting this feeling of creativity and positivity is Upstart. Granby Park (an Upstart project) have created this beautiful pop-up park and guerrilla gardening project.

Knock, knock open wide see whats on the other side of Number 71, Merrion Square…
The Handkerchief Tree
If you go down to Merrion Square today you are in for a big surprise. Not only are the Street Performance World Championships on this weekend but there is an exquisite outdoor art installation by artist Miriam Mc Connan.

Dublin Thrifting Guide ~ Rathmines
To use an American term I love to go Thrifting, which is the act of whiling away afternoons in search of fashion treasure in Charity Shops, second-hand stores and Flea Markets.
May Day, May Day
There is something special about May Day in Ireland, you can feel the earth warming up and every nook and cranny comes alive with blossom.

How beautiful is this mosaic? And guess what it is my doorstep!
For all the China in Tea…
I love tea and I love china! I took this pic in a pretty cafe in Dun Laoghaire called White Tea over Brian S Nolan the interior store. The tea and food is great but the best bit is their display of tea-cups and plates attached to the wall. Pretty enough to eat.
The Vintage Sessions
I’ve loved Vintage ever since I found a stash of my Mother’s pretty 1970s dresses in the attic and in an instant all the allure and glamour of a different decade caught my imagination.
The Bell-jar
This is a glass case I sourced for boutique Seagreen in Monkstown.
Cake Cafe
Sometimes tea and cake is your only man after a long day of freelance and the pretty-as-you-please Cake Cafe just behind Daintree off Camden Street is just the ticket to catch up with friends or loll about with a book and tea in their gorgeous red enamel tea-pots and chintzy china cups.
The Abbey Wardrobe
If you had to get locked in somewhere one of top 5 places would be The Abbey wardrobe department, all those gowns and wigs, masks and bustles, swords and waistcoats, tam-o-shanters and crinolined skirts.
