CRAFTY NEWS DESK.....

Greetings from the Crafty News Desk.
(This weeks photo was taken this morning here in Dublin when I was out for a ramble to the shops.  Amazing Autumn sunshine but you can feel the chill in the air too.)

How excited is everyone heading for the Etsy meet ups on Wednesday in Galway and Saturday in Dublin.  Say a big hello to Liz from all of us who cant make it.  We will look forward to a report later in the month.  If you don't know what I am talking about go here: http://etsyireland.blogspot.com/2010/09/etsy-galway-and-dublin-meet-ups.html

  1. Mo, that picture rocks!!! I just love those COLOURS!!!!!!

    I was going to send you some info as to what's happening up North, but haven't got round to it (sorry, my head is full of wool and knitting designs...)

    The Fashion Souk is on this Sunday from 1-5pm again! For more info, check out:

    I'll be there and probably really knackered from the Dublin meeting! So if you see me propped up against my stall with my eyes closed, waft some coffee under my nose, please!

    I just got some news in about a new market, which will make a nice article to fill my very blank October blog calendar *hint, hint - and a growl from Jacob who has started his winter hybernation*
