Shopping heaven

I briefly met a friend in the city yesterday. She had just over an hour free between finishing work and then making a hospital visit. We made a flying visit to 3 shops.

First stop was "Kilkenny Design". I had told my friend that I was looking for earrings and she said she had seen the perfect pair in here. They were perfect so I bought them in two different colours. They are crystal earrings with a small drop and I chose one in pink and the other in nude/beige. I also bought a bag here.

Next we went to Brown Thomas. In the Waterford Crystal dept we were shown a new "Mixology" range which is exclusive to BTs for 6 weeks. It is mix and match coloured etched glassware. We remarked how Great Gatsbyesque it was!!! At this point I should mention that I was on my bike so I was not going to buy glasses - never mind the price of these lovely items!

We then made our way across to Marks and Spencer's. After buying a Get Well card, my friend had to dash off. I bought a few items for dinner in the food hall from the Dine in for 2 range. I then had to leave town as all that I bought barely fitted in to the panniers on my bike!!!

Have a look on www.kilkennyshop.com for lots of lovely Irish and other beautifully designed pieces.
