Art Weekend

Friday brought us to the opening of Shane Sutton's exhibition "The Space in between" at The Kemp Gallery in Gallery X.

I cycled to meet Amy and we then walked from her place to the gallery on South William Street, where we then met Ciaran.

It was a busy launch with lots of people, great music and tasty beer from Hope Beer.

Shane's work is very interesting and the spaceman is something that intrigues me. 

Then on Sunday it was the Dean Hotel for RM Kavanagh's (Rasher) exhibition "Perceptual Space".

This was another interesting exhibition with some very creative pieces. 

It's great living in Dublin and being able to wander around the city and check out the latest art openings.

Wedding Weekend

Last weekend we attended a Dublin City Wedding. It was an amazing weekend with nothing better than going to the wedding from your house and knowing that you would be sleeping in your own bed when you returned later that night.

I wore a Caroline Kilkenny dress, to the wedding, which I bought in the Kilkenny Shop a little while ago.

It's got a lovely sleeve detail (nearly like a double sleeve) that you can see in this pic. There is also a slight ruffle or stitching on the shoulder that gives a slight illusion of a shoulder pad.

In this picture you can again see the cap sleeve detail that was very flattering along with the slight ruching on dress. 

The dress was on sale when I bought it so luckily there was one size 10 left (that's a size 6 for my USA readers!)

Interesting to see that it is made in Europe and not further to the East!

 

And here I am outside the Kilkenny Shop with lots of purchases. It's a great shop for buying jewellery or quality gifts with an Irish connection.

What a great weekend, with the wedding on Saturday and then a fun after party that we cycled in the sun to on the Sunday. Dublin is one great city for a Wedding!!

Amazon Fire

I was in the market for a cheap tablet to use as an eReader so was delighted to find the Amazon Fire on special offer in Argos, reduced from €75 to €45.

I reserved one online last night and picked it up on my lunch hour today.

When I got home from work I downloaded the Borrowbox app to the tablet and easily downloaded free eBooks from the library on to the tablet. 

I'm really looking forward to reading "The Outsiders" by SE Hinton again!!
