I do get most of my books on used bookstore or occasionally thrift. Not much interesting on most my thrift store. But if I find a book that I really like or I like the author, I will buy new either on store or online. I might also get from the library to see how much I like before buying. Love the plates. It would look cute in your walls. Nice flowers arrangement.

I have a suggestion for some treasure hunting, Finglas Village D11 has 4 very close to each other. A Vincent's, Deaf shop, Enable Ire and a Down syndrome store. There are also many cafes to get your favourite tea and plenty of parking spots. Might be a nice day out for you to enjoy.

[@wendyhamilton2696]

Watching from the Southeastern US and I just love you! Sorry my boobies were flashing you... you crack me up😂.. your videos are a bright spot in my day.. I've sent my best friend's daughter some of your videos. She is interested in getting into quilting and sewing and I told her she couldn't go wrong with you. We both decided we could listen to you read the phone book. I've been through a lot of your library, but do you have any quilting videos?

[@DaintyDiaries]

Aw your so sweet to recommend, I don't have any quilting videos, I do have a quilted cushion project from a Cricut video, but quilting wouldn't be a speciality of mine x

[@wendyhamilton2696]

@@DaintyDiaries I will look for that cushion project. Watching your sewing videos will give her a lot of transferable sewing skills that she can use whatever she does. I've already sent her your drawstring bag video and the compilation of 10 sewing projects. I recommend your channel every chance I get!

Brilliant vlog, love your plates. My memory of Paris is the smell of wee. I've been a few times and still had the same impression, not romantic to me!.

Ah Catherine that's my major complaint too! I also follow Mr Carrington and miss the years I spent in London going car booting! It's the same in the states, lots of thrift shops to choose from which we're lacking here!

[@lisajohnson420]

I noticed the smell of wee in Edinburgh and Liverpool city centres in the last couple of months I wonder if it’s the weather causing it to rise up from somewhere 😷

When in Ireland last summer, my daughter and I went to a bookstore in Dublin that had a cake shop behind it. What a wonderful idea! We spent a couple of hours in there.

Lovely Vlog and you have a talent for floral arrangements. I loved the little woodland plates you were showing and then today I was watching a US KZbinr called Canterbury Cottage that was on holiday in Dublin Ireland. She was thrifting and bought the Woodland bowls in Vincent’s. Could it be the same shop and bowls you were referring to that matched your plates. If so that is such a coincidence 😊
