Limerick You're a Lady

It's beautiful and sunny in Limerick at the moment so I've detached myself from the computer in favour of sandals and out door beers. Last year I made the mistake of ignoring the Springtime nice weather, not knowing that I was missing the yearly allocation of good weather. I will not be fooled again, I know Sunny days should be embraced whole heartedly as they are so scarce.

Look at the gorgeous park that is two minutes away from my house, who could be cooped up inside on a day like this??

Thanks to Limerick.ie for the images.

A bounty of Treasuries

I went a bit treasury mad on Etsy over the past couple of days. I'm loving their new Treasury East function, which allows you to have more items on show, and there is no expiration date. That means it stays in the archive forever, and there is no need to queue up to get one...how great is that? I'm not sure they've really caught on yet, it's been a long time since I was in the forums on Etsy so I don't know what everyone thinks about them. Personally I think they are a lovely way to keep your favs together, or to currate a look for the new season. My first stab was inspired by my friend Orla's raincoat. So I picked lots of garden red and green items. I really like the fun elements in it too.

Check it out here, please click and comment.

Today I knabbed a regular treasury, I currated it in a homage to the sunshine we have been having of late in Ireland. I included about 5 members from the Etsy Ireland team and I then sprinkled in a few other sunny picks from Etsy.

Enjoy the lovely sunshine-may it last!

Hurrah For Sunshine

We had a beautifully sunny day yesterday at the market, it's a rarity in Limerick so we all soaked it up with gusto. I popped of for an hour (while Orla looked after my stall), to go to the march against gangland violence in Limerick, organised by Steve Collins. There was a great turnout, 5000 citizens marched in red down Henry St. to say 'No' to the behaviour that has become accepted.I for one was proud to be standing among them ,but saddened that such a gesture is needed.

We had more glorious weather today and I just spent the last few hours in the park sewing...what a lovely treat. Hopefully it lasts for the week, if so I'll be frequenting the park often.
