I love it 🧡
It’s almost like you can read my mind…or you just heard me constantly giving subliminal messages over your shoulder 😅 either way it’s just perfect

Mae and I enjoying a wee break for ice cream in the sun.

It was a very busy 6 days, but it felt so good and right to finally open the doors in Kinsale today. No big fanfare or ceremony just going with the flow and finding our feet, testing the waters.

So many gorgeous people calling in to say hi and welcome 🧡

Once we have the basics set up (electricity and water mostly) we will plan a lovely evening to officially open the shop but until then call in if your passing 🙌

Lots of growth and learning on this journey and my goodness I wouldn’t change a thing.

I am extremely grateful and can not wait to share this space with you all ❤️

Thank you from us all for 10 beautiful years and the most wonderful final weekend.

The shop is pretty much empty now 🙌

It was so beautiful to see all the lovely faces and have the chats 🧡

I’m am so grateful to you all. You are the reason we had ten amazing years here. End of a chapter…
