Dublin
While strolling though town last Thursday evening, Ben and I came across the Temple Bar Night Market. This being Ireland in the summer, there wasn't a whole lot of night happening! There were some great live art demos going on though. And while the stalls were a bit

Isn't it brilliant when artists find ways of making their work more accessible to those of us with champagne tastes and lemonade pockets? For example, I adore colourful Aussie brand Castle and Things. Their prints, like the ones above, are incredible – but their tea towel art, below, is

Scorchio! The weather. It's all we can talk about this week. Dublin looks great in this weather – everyone is in better form, the canal is jammed with happy punters outside The Barge having aprés work drinks and everything has sprung to life. I had the most incredible strawberries

I spotted this stunning home on Patchwork Harmony and just want to dive right in. It belongs to Ingrid, a stylist and photographer living in Norway, who also has a really lovely blog. I love the soft tones, the mis-matched chairs, the pops of neon and cool graphic black, and,
