The Mother Land....


Back in March I made a secret trip to visit my parents, namely my mum as  it was a secret mothers day visit for her! She was so surprised and it was an amazing weekend, the weather was stunning and the food was great. On the Sunday we went for a drive around the North Antrim coast line and above are a few of my many snaps that I took. It was so beautiful that I was nearly convinced to move back. For a week after I returned to England i was trying to convince the bf to move back to Ireland with me!

If you have never been to Ireland you all should really go, it is so pretty especially where I come from on the North Antrim Coast. I shall have to do more blog posts on places to go and things to do...

Flower Girl....


Aren't these pretty!?! I always love to have fresh flowers around the place but sometimes I just don't have the time to pop to the shops to get some. The last year I spotted some beautiful silk hydrangeas in Bedeck made by a company called SIA they are also stocked in Selfridges but at £12.50 per stem I hadn't been able to bring myself to splash out.

Then on a recent trip to Northern Ireland to visit my parents I popped in to Dunnes Stores, which is a store only in Ireland like a cheaper M&S or more expensive Primark. I always make a visit whenever I am in Ireland because I can buy clothes that none of my other friends have and it is sooooooo affordable.

While I was at the till paying for two pairs of skinny jeans and a beige mac my mum spotted these silk flowers, not quite the same quality as the SIA ones but not far off. So I bought 5 white stems and 3 green stems, each at £3.50!!! AMAZING!  They just make me smile every day!

For those in Ireland or just visiting I highly recommend making a visit, sorry to those that can't got get them, unfortunately their website isn't quite up to scratch for buying things on line. But these are too pretty not to share!
