Seaseme St. Nostalgia


Now that I am in my twenties I am clinging to anything that keeps me young at heart. Recently I have suddenly become associated with anything to do with my favourite childhood show, Seaseme St. and although I have done nothing to encourage this, I am embracing it happily! ;)

New Treasures

It would seem that through recent shopping expeditions, the constant rain (yes, it's June alright) and birthday gifts I have accquired some wonderful and beautiful things. Some are thanks to a nack of spotting a bargain, others as a results of my resourfulness (aka bordom!), but most thanks has to go to my wonderful Maitiú who has an exquisite eye for birthday presents ;) Above are pictured a cute yellow 60's style satchel (I'm loving the 60s lately!) €13, and tan brogues that cost all of €5 and I;ve been living in for the past week.

Wall of photos of Maitiú and my past year and a half together.


I've been wanting a new bed spread for a while to replace my grubby white one and it just so happens that I found this old one which spruced up nicely once a throw and yellow pillow covers were added :)

My love boat from my love...
...and a beautiful wooden sewing kit...
...and the cutest and smallest easel and canvas I;ve ever seen! Thanks M. x


So I leave you with the promise of dress designs and creations for a later blog entry....

Glendalough

A few snaps of Maitiú and my adventure in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow...
...where we drove along the military roads...
...followed Willy and the Wicklow Way...

...and climbed the Spink that overlooks the beautiful Glendalough valley...


....stopped for a bite at St. Kevin's kitchen...

...marvelled at the beautiful round tower...

...said a prayer in the Cathedral...

...and retired to Enniskerry for Beef and Guinness Pie.

Windy Wonderland


Bit late with this post. This was my and Maitiú's trip to Dalkey and Killiney in South County Dublin last weekend. After a feed of muffins, coffee and tea, we were set to climb both Dalkey and Killiney Hill. Although a blustery, showery day we still managed to have a spectacular day filled with seascape views, beech tree forrest and bluebells...
