Recently online I saw this beuatiful crochet bag and thought wow-it is so pretty and so me!!! Then I looked at the price and it was over 2,000 just because it was chanel, well I think I have seen much nicer crochet handbag on some blogs online!!!

That's my rant for today. Still love the bag though :)

Yesterday I made this pom pom garland and put it in my bedroom with all my other treasures. I just used fishing wire and threaded it through each pom pom.

I'm thinking of changing the green and red pom poms into small christmas decorations for the tree, what do you think?

Yes it's another update on my new home. This time I took the photograph from up the field the opposite side of the road. The electricity wires are the opposite side of the road and won't be in our view. I like how the roof profile doesn't really break the skyline. You can see where the two upstairs windows are going to be. In my last update the house looked very big but I think that now the roof is taking shape and there are only two windows upstairs it looks much more in keeping with the countryside. Since this photograph was taken on Sunday the felt is now on the roof. The side gables and the chimneys now have to be plastered before the tiles are put on the roof. You can see where we have the topsoil all piled at the front of the garden which will be spread out over the garden once it is completed. We have looked at stone for the porch too.

And here is a sample of the type of stone we would like on the porch, it is Donegal stone.

So that's the update on my new home...

I spent this weekend in County Donegal Ireland, here are a few photographs I took, the weather was nice. I just love the sea air.

A view of the sky from my parents holiday home, isn't it beautiful.

A distant rainbow.

A stroll along the beach.

And the last two photographs are of County Longford Ireland from the last weekend in September.

A view of the countryside

And a quaint country cottage, isn't it pretty....

Hope you are all having a lovely week :)

On a recent weekend break in Kilkenny with my boyfriend, we were driving to our hotel when he spotted this ever so pretty shop, the shop front was a gorgeous vibrant blue and I thought to myself oh that's a shop I would Love.... The windows were adorned with beautiful treasures and trinklets, really my type of shop. So I'd thought I'd share it with you all, it's called the Butterslip Shop. I recommend you visit their facebook page here.
