This is a Blog for everyone - not about me!

In case ur not sure about blogs then please know this is NOT about me - it's to get people to add interesting stuff to keep us interested, help us out etc.  I just happened to start it!! I'm tired of always googling a recipe or idea, we're intelligent people, mothers, cooks etc, so why not provide the info here?!!!

What to do with that Picture you love?

Very Simple:

A little place in Rathcoole - just off the N7, 10 mins from Naas, 20mins from Dublin, it's a small but by no means insignifant gallery called Inniscara Art & Framing, when I say they can make an ordinary print look amazing I'm not exaggerating in the least! It may cost you a max of 60/70€ to have your favourite print or picture placed in the most exquisite frame you can imagine:

I bought both these prints from the gallery for about €6 each and the framing cost about €40 per picture, the lady in the gallery gave her expert opinion which I took and Hey Presto!! There is no picture that can match this for Price or Individuality!

Get A Dresser Made for a fraction of the cost!

I got this dresser made to my measurements for €200 - that's very very cheap compared to today's interior shop prices (approx €800 for same piece), not only that but it was deliverd from Cork for €50, so €250 all in for a bespoke dresser. Due to privacy I will not publish the gentlemans name on the site but if you mail me I will give you his details as I know he would be delighted to get the business! He's based just ouside Co. Clare and I found him on www.donedeal.ie

You can choose to have it waxed or unfinished as I did - painted it myself!


The pictures are of the dresser he made for me, everything was done through email and as you can see it was worth every penny! He'll do anything you ask, the perfect example of people who LIKE to work!! I asked him to leave the bottom doors with chicken wire and then stapled fabric to the inside of them to match what I had in the kitchen, cheap option to tie things together!
