Dandelion Daydreamer: DANDELION DAYDREAMER'S GIRLY GUIDE TO KILKENNY!
DANDELION DAYDREAMER'S GIRLY GUIDE TO KILKENNY!
It is impossible to visit Kilkenny and walk by Bridie's without a second glance! Country kitsh gives a playful touch to this traditionally robust pub/cafe/shop. We were enticed inside by the window display of tasty cakes and kicked our morning off with a strong dose of coffee. The shelves are adorned with jar after jar of the old fashioned sweets your grandad used to buy you and the pub at the back whispers of fun times gone by.
Next up was Yesterdays. I have to warn you, before you go in to this enchanted treasure trove of interior delights, lock away your credit card and try to remember the next pay day is a month away! Although that said, they are having their winter sale and there were bargains aplenty :) Browse through French style mirrors, dainty crystal door-knobs, dressing screens and glistening glassware while Edith Piaf sets the mood. We fell head over heels in love with this ambient boutique and will definitely be back for more very very soon!
Last, but certainly not least, we have Shutterbug. What originally started off as a photography studio, now has a wonderfully styled second hand shop fronting the showroom. Hand-selected pieces by the stylish Blanaid hang proudly from salvaged white washed wooden doors while their impressive photography portraits adorn the walls. While there, we met the stunning Ashling, who kindly gave us the studio tour. I wish I'd taken a picture of their make-up room, it was every girls dream!
Can't wait for my next trip back to stock up on more birdy treasures!
this sounds like a dream shopping weekend! love the products in your store atm!
spot on choices I have to say! do come visit again!
