I received a lovely email from another satisfied customer yesterday and to my delight she had even attached a couple of photos of her purchase in action! Thanks Jeni and thanks also for letting me share these images here. Jeni bought one of the World Map Wall Stickers €77.95 by Ferm LIVING and I think it looks great in her hallway. She says that this part of her home is still under construction but I think it looks great already.
I find that hallways are always difficult to decorate because, let’s face it, we don’t spend too much time hanging out in the hall do we? But on the other hand, the hallway sets the tone for the rest of the house and should create some sort of an impact for guests. That’s why I think Jeni has really hit a right note with this wall sticker because it adds drama to the relatively small hallway without being overpowering. She also says that it’s a real talking point for guests so tick and tick!

Have You Seen Us In Irish Tatler?
Filed Under Jewellery, Shop Stuff | 12 Comments

Boy oh boy am I chuffed with this and all of our other recent magazine features. I’m working on getting them all up on the website but I just thought I’d pop some of them on the blog for now because I want to show off just a teensy weensy bit. That’s us there in the middle of the page featuring the Smoky Quartz Juvi Necklace. For those of you who can read it God bless your eyesight and for those who can’t, it says:
WE LOVE! For a darling little website filled with all things pretty and dinky, we’re clicking to Irish website mabelandviolet.com. Lust for lovely pieces like this Smoky Quartz necklace from homegrown designers Juvi (€139).
Thanks Tatler, we love you too!

I want…
Filed Under Inspiration, Photography | 2 Comments
a new camera. That’s all. I’ve been taking photos with a Canon Ixus, which is a great little thing that fits in my handbag but I’m ready for a big fat digital SLR that comes complete with its own handbag, although those are usually black and not particularly aesthetically pleasing. Okay, maybe I want a new camera and a new (large) handbag. Then maybe I will be able to take photos like these…

Wedding Thank You Cards
Filed Under Photography, Weddings | 19 Comments
I need some help, I can’t decide which image to use for our wedding Thank You cards. They’re really late but I don’t think the people who know me best would expect any less! I’m only partially to blame though obviously – there are two of us in it now. Any thoughts?
These images were taken by James & Shawna.

Kerry & West Cork, which were pretty spectacular and B&Q, which was pretty unspectacular but more about that later…
