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.

This blog was originally started to track our progress as we regenerated a derelict Victorian house in Dublin. We turned an old crumbling ruin in to our dream house! If you wish to read through the trials and tribulations of the house build it is best to start at the oldest blog post and read in date order. The blog then evolved in to being all about my life in Dublin, Ireland and then life in Malaga, Spain with artist "PIGSY" and now back in Dublin I hope you enjoy reading it!
