Have you seen the new Cath Kidston Competition Brighten up Your Town and Win a Bespoke Limited Edition Wall Art featuring the top landmarks of your town. How exciting it that?

For more details visit Cath Kidston

This weekend I met up with some friends in the city and came across these sand sculptures at Dublin Castle. They are truly works of art! We also visited my friends exhibition in the Civic Trust and the National Museum for a short while. Then tea and cake in Avoca :) Hope you are having a nice weekend. It is a long weekend here in Ireland so I am looking forward to my day off tomorrow.

We bought this image for our living room wall in Argos at the weekend. It suits the colours in our room. It is an image of Brixham Harbour.

We put this home sweet home canvas in our kitchen. This was a total bargain at €3.00 from Pennys. All of these add a nice homely feel to our home. I have lots of photo frames but no photographs to put in them yet. Do you put many photographs of your family and friends around your home? I have only one of my parents wedding. I have none of my own wedding yet but I intend to get one or two developed.

These doors are all so unique, I took the photographs while on holidays in Madeira. They are really interesting, located in the Old Town of Funchal.

 

I treated myself at the weekend to these cute accessories for my home, a cute crochet cushion and this cute heart. My husband also bought this lovely art canvas for over our wood burning stove, it is a scene from Galway City.

Hope you are all having a nice week and the weather isn't too bad where ever you are!

I came across these amazing etsy shop while looking around at wall decor online.

Myself and my mother did the work above. Mother painted the mountains while I did the fruit. I came across these while I was tidying up the study, they were hidden behind one of the presses for years and I had forgotten about them.
