This Flower Is Scorched, This Film Is On

Today was another beautifully sunny day in Dublin. After a breakfast of porridge, yoghurt and green tea with cranberry, Donnacha and I wandered into town to meet Simon and Shona at the market in Temple Bar. I got my exceptionally large head measured for my hat which the lovely John Shevlin of Shevlin Millinery is custom making for me! He said it would be ready either next Saturday or during the following week. I'm so excited, I really can't wait!

We took a look around the Temple Bar Food Market, which made us hungry so we went in search of somewhere to have lunch. We ended up at the Cappucino Bar and sat outside because it was so nice. Simon and I had club sandwiches, Donnacha had a burger and Shona had soup.

After lunch we explored the thrift and charity shops in the Temple Bar/Georges Street area. We visited Lucy's Lounge which I had never been in, but kept meaning to visit. It was really great, I want to go back again and have a better look though. Then we went to some charity shops including Oxfam and Enable Ireland and then to the Market Arcade.

This is what the same area looks like now




Shona found this receipt in an old DIY book. Check out the date!

This archway is beside the back entrance to Dublin Castle. I think I'll do an outfit post here sometime soon, I really like it

Hope you had a lovely Saturday. It's my birthday tomorrow!

I'll leave you with one of my all time favourite songs
