TEXTILE WORKSHOP DUBLIN

I was very flattered to receive a newsletter from the Textile Workshop Dublin who cited me as their favourite blog this month :) I am a huge fan of their workshops and delighted with Dandelion's little mention! For my Irish ladies living in the Dublin locality, if you are a creative little bee and looking for something to occupy you on these dreary winter days then I have a little treat for you.

Textile Workshop Dublin offers weekend and evening tutorial classes where you can book your own slice of crafty delight. I personally love their latest addition... Mrs. Draper's Apron, where your Saturday class supplies you with the materials and skills necessary to create your very own Mad Men inspired hostess apron. Only problem is you'll probably spend a fortune throwing dinner parties to show it off to your envious friends afterwards! The next apron workshop is on February the 19th so get your place booked now! x

DOMESTIC GODDESS, STEP 1!

We just got a new* oven, the old one puffed out so much smoke when in use that baking became a distant memory. The Boyfriend has first dibs on it for his luscious carrot cake (um... not that I'm protesting!) so in the mean time I'm going to treat myself to a new hostess apron as a first step to becoming a domestic goddess. Anthropologie when are you opening in France?! I've narrowed the selection down to these 4 lovelies, and anyway,  I never feel too guilty when I shop in dollars... it always ends up being cheaper than I hoped!
