Upcycling

Hey Guys how are ye??

I Hope ye enjoyed my last two blog posts. I really enjoyed writing them.

Onto the next one though and as ye can tell by the title its about upcycling. The zip yard Tralee contacted me about a collaboration and I jumped at the chance. They basically take your pre loved pieces and change them up to make them into a different piece and I have loads of stuff in my wardrobe I wont wear again but don't want to throw out and I'm sure its the same as most women so I was delighted to bring in a few pieces to chop and change. When I went over to the zip yard Stacey and all the team were so nice and more than helpful, They were telling me they also run a dry cleaning service so if anyone from the Tralee area is reading this pop in to the girls and they will take care of ye. So I brought in a few pieces that I love but was sick of and we decided on this sequin vintage jacket I picked up in mon amie Killarney a few years ago. Its since closed down but they had amazing pieces and a fabulous vintage section. I loved it before but OH MY GOD  I'm in obsessed with it now.

So we decided on taking off the sleeves and adding faux leather capped sleeves instead and I'm so happy with how it turned out it has transformed it so much. I can't wait to wear it now again. Let me know in the comments section below what ye think.

I don't have a price list but something like this would cost roughly €40 and I have a different jacket. OBBSESSED with it now and I look forward to working with the zip yard again in the future.

That's all on this post guys but I have also been nominated for an award for the connect Kerry hair and beauty awards I would love if ye could kindly vote for me please it only takes two minutes and I would really appreciate it ill leave the link Here

That's all for now

Thanks for reading

All my love

Our Wedding Part 2

Hey everyone I hope ye enjoyed my previous wedding post. I am going to go through a few more details on this post about our entertainment, cake, band and so much more so lets jump straight in.


Firstly our band were the 2 Mikes and family ties and I must say I hadn't heard of them before but Tim had and suggested them. We went to Causeway to see them 1 night because I wanted to know what they were like and I wasn't disappointed they had the whole room on their feet which is what you want for your wedding day. We went to a wedding fair the next day in the INEC Killarney and booked them straight away. The night of the wedding the floor was full from start to finish. There were 4 of them playing and they are gentlemen I couldn't recommend them enough.here is a link to their page


Next up is our cake. Oh my god I loved it and we really enjoyed the cake tasting that was the fun part haha. We went with chocolate fudge, raspberry and coconut, strawberry sponge and fruit cake in that order from bottom tier up I ordered it off Mandy Trant I order every occasion cake off her and have been going to her for years she is unbelievable at what she does no job is too big or too small for her.

                                                        here is her facebook page


I ordered a post box for the cards so people had somewhere to put them and  I knew they would be safe there also. While I was ordering it something else caught my eye and I had to have it

This is the post box and I thought it was a great idea. They are handmade so a lot of work goes into them and everyone thought it was a nice touch

Then this is the other item I was talking about. When I seen it I had to have it because we both have family members who have passed and we would have loved them to be there on the day so I thought this was  a great idea and again everyone loved it. I also ordered a Christmas eve box off them for my 2 girls and they loved it all 3 pieces were amazing quality.

ill leave their facebook page here

Next up are our beautiful flowers I went around to a few flower shops in Killarney and priced around. I went with white heather florists and Rima the lady that was dealing with me was so nice and helpful and she did an amazing job on our flowers. We got our bouquets for myself and the bridesmaids, the button holes for my husband and his groomsmen a throw away bouquet, our centre piece for the alter and 2 bouquets of flowers for our mothers they were all amazing. I got the church decorated by a different woman then she decorates it with hanging lanterns fake flowers an arch and a red carpet it was beautiful.  Rima white heather

This is just 1 picture of my amazing bouquet up close but they are in a few of the previous pictures and the bridesmaids ones too.

This was our amazing centre piece and I ordered the candles online from here they were amazing and the company were so helpful with other aspects of our wedding.

I then ordered these 2 pieces, a ring box & a sign for the miniature groomsman to hold as he walked up the aisle. I ordered them here I have ordered pieces from Sarah previously and they are always amazing.

My maid of honour ordered these glasses for the morning of the wedding here and they were a lovely touch I thought. I have also ordered from Amy before and she is amazing at her job.

so that sums up our wedding. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.

That's all for now.

Thanks for reading.

All my Love
