Shop signage in Dublin

I love the simplicity of this sign, and the irregularity of the lighting behind the letters. Such a shame that the signage above the shop doesn't work..

KC Peaches Cafe & Delicatessen

 This a chilled cafe we went for breakfast one morning while in Dublin. Lots of fresh food to take out or eat in. They didn't mind that we stayed for over an hour and only ordered coffee and smoothies.. I love the high ceilings and the array of Tom Dixon lamps used flanking each side.

Uber funky Tom Dixon lights.

Architecture in Dublin, January 2013

 Last week I went with my boyfriend to Dublin, Ireland. I had never been Ireland before, and I fell in love with the city. It felt like a town, so very different to any of the large cities in England. Everyone was very friendly and it seemed to have a very strong community, like you would have in a small village.

Christmas decorations

 Every Christmas, when we put the decorations up, we have some Norwegian additions (from my Norwegian cousins and Uncle). You put them around the house, in not always obvious places. Nissa are Norwegian folklore figures used to keep you safe - if you keep them safe! We have always had them at Christmas, so they are a staple decoration at home.
