The Yellow Brick Road

The Yellow Brick Road

Following the Yellow Brick Road brings you to The Emerald City, but this bead and crystal shop stocks far more than emeralds; it’s an Aladdin’s cave, a veritable treasure trove on Bachelor’s Walk in Dublin. It’s very easy to spend an hour there looking at the beads, semi-precious stones, crystals.IMAG0040

If like me you have a collection of broken jewellery then get in here fast. You will receive expert advice and you can either take it home with the necessary pieces or choose to get it fixed in the shop.

I had three pieces to fix. The black and cream necklace was missing some pearl type beads and GG armed with super glue stuck the missing 5 on at a cost of one euro. I was just missing one black stone on another piece and they had the exact shape necessary. Another job for GG.IMG_4326

The other pearl necklace needed a new clasp so I left it there to see if it could be fixed.

My friend Sara had a broken strand on a rather spectacular necklace which was fixed there and then by cutting off the broken piece and sealing the ends. It took about ten minutes to examine and fix and the charge was a steep 2 euro 50 cent!IMAG0052

While I was in collecting my “pearls” a customer was collecting about sixty Swarovski crystals of various sizes for her daughter’s wedding dress and the bridesmaids’ dresses. Seemingly they are Ireland’s only certified Swarovski Elements distributors. I was surprised to learn that the shop had been there since 1997. How had I noticed it before? I also saw that they offer a variety of interesting jewellery making classes during the year, if you are that way inclined. But it is certainly worth a visit if you have a favourite piece of jewellery that has lost a stone or a bead, or if you just want to browse. You can even get a tarot or angel card reading. Have a look at their web site www.yellowbrickroad.ie or follow them on Facebook. They ship worldwide so that might be some Christmas presents sorted for loved ones abroad.

    No this is definitely not Chrisie. This is the same girlfiend I’ve referenced . We stayed together far too long (for both of us) after the shirts. We truly brought out the worst in each other (I own my part of the blame). It’s hard for some to understand, given how complicated and tumultuous our relationship became, but it was really good for a while. I think we both held on to that when it went really bad.

    eerst reactie 52 even. Overigens begrijp ik niet waar je je druk over maakt, een buitenlandse alliantie???Alsof de 24/7 bedreigde Wilders iemand met zich zou meekrijgen, iedereen is te bang. Bang om vermoord te worden vanwege zijn mening, bang voor zijn winkeltje, bang voor politieke isolatie. Je ziet spoken.Terwijl er wel degelijk een internationale moslimbroederschap is en een arabische lobby die vele malen machtiger zijn dan Wilders en de enkele Deense sympathisanten die hij heeft.

    I guess finding useful, reliable information on the internet isn’t hopeless after all.

Let's call it chaotic; wild & wonderful all at once with four Grandkids between 17 months and 7 years old. 😂

Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and Our Indian Summer and a visit to Gorgeous Gort and our friends @annademart.ie and @hynes6026 gave me a chance to wear this beautiful dress from @paulasmalahide. Visited Coole Park and Thoor Ballylee, ate delicious food  and drank too much wine with lovely people @mcevoycarlos and @mcevoyleonie. More pics on stories.

Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place Realised I had not given this lovely dress a place on the grid. Bought from @studio124dublin. Over on the blog I have published a post on having a colonoscopy. 
Yes exciting stuff! But decided not to publish a picture of my colon. Yes you have been saved that!
Have a lovely day. The sun is out.

Magic weather this weekend .... Magic weather this weekend ....
Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tda Great fun at launch of @travel_department and @tdactiveholidays 2024 brochures with new initiatives and destinations. Get planning now with the best in #guided travel. Don't leave it too late. Practically nothing left this year.
Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not A Crochet is the theme for this month's 'Style Not Age'! I may not have crushed it but I did do some damage to my fingers. Hence splints and red bandages.Yes rushing about and tripped ...luckily only on grass or it could have been worse. It might have been my teeth!

Anyway back to the outfit. I had to borrow a crochet top and bag from my friend @marie.sweeney4. And they look amazing with my suit bought from @studio124dublin and hat @wallaroohatsuk (old)
Pop over to see how my friends tackled the challenge

Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I Accessorising my bandages is now a priority! And I found the perfect leather phone bag @bagsbylanda A/W launch today. It holds more than a phone, by the way! Room for lippy, cards and keys too!
I love a small bag for walking and shopping and this beauty in top quality leather comes in a variety of colours. 
And yes it came home with me!
More pics on stories.
Shopped my wardrobe for the rest.

Orange you glad the sun is back at last! Love the Orange you glad the sun is back at last! 
Love the colour of this linen shirt and it is always packed for sun holidays, because of its versatility.

 Years old and bought @paulasmalahide.  Here it acts as a cover up over a swimsuit in Dubrovnik. Also love the colour and roominess of the Yoko bag @absolutely_patsy. 
Sunnies  and slides @tkmaxxie.
Let's hope the good weather stays. I might even venture into the Irish sea!😂

'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month' 'Kimono my House' is Gail's prompt for this month's 'Style Not Age'! And I did not realise it was an album by The Sparks back in 1974. 🫢
That was the year I did my Leaving Cert exams so maybe that is why it passed me by. But I do like kimonos. 
Love the paisley pattern and have no idea where I got it. Check out my friends @is_this_mutton_ @thestylesplash @annasislandstyle @mummabstylish.

Do you have clothes that only see the light of day Do you have clothes that only see the light of day when you are on holidays? I do. Though this jumpsuit from @trafficpeople was worn a few times in Ireland when we had a heatwave! Remember😂
The hat from @h&m was prettied up with a scarf and birkenstock dupes are @tkmaxxie.
Blog post up about our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a blast at Ali and Ian's wedding. Dubrovnik is beautiful.
