Well on the eve of Christmas eve, with one more day to go in the shop I would like to thank our customers for their support in the past year and we look forward to seeing you all in the coming year. It has been a very positive year for us, with good things happening and lots of great ideas to get stuck into in the new year. The shop will reopen next week  from Tues to Thurs in the afternoons. Call me on 087 6833639 if you are making a special trip………..Happy Christmas

This weekend we had seasonal weather for a change, with the first fall of snow and sooo cold. It was nice to be able to snuggle up in our warm little house, well as you can see our four legged friend was going nowhere. Im looking forward to winding up work on Christmas eve………

Micheal Parsons wrote a great article yesterday in the Irish Times on MADE in kilkenny featuring yours truly and I was delighted with the photo they included………..

Andys Solo Christmas show opened last night at the Waterfront Gallery in Westport. Its looks great, bright and joyful for the season thats in it. There was a great reaction from everyone there with lots of sales. Prices range from €40 to €400 so its perfect Christmas present territory. If your not going to be down Westport way then call by our shop where he has lots of new work available…….

We had a great night on Thursday with the launch of the MADE pop up shop. Everyone came out to support us and some of us girls got dressed up(any excuse) wearing some beautiful millinery creations by Rebekah Patterson. We had our ‘annual ladies festive dinner’ afterwords. Anne from the Butterslip (just 3 doors down from the MADE pop up) also had her customer night on Thursday complete with pink champers, and mini cup cakes  for everyone………this made for a great festive pre dinner warm up.
