Happy Friday! And welcome to everyone who has come over from Creature Comforts to read all about the things I was afraid to tell. Thank you all so much for your kind comments and encouragement. Turns out a few of you wouldn’t mind my Irish accent, so maybe we’ll have to do a little tutorial on Irish lingo to get you started!
This weekend, Michael and I are headed off to County Clare for a night away playing tourists. I’m so excited to see the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher for the first time. And perhaps heading to the other side of the country will find us in some sunshine. It’s been dull and dreary and downright cold in Dublin for weeks now and I’m ready for some sun!
But if we can’t find sun in Ireland, we still have a shot at it in Maine, three weeks from today! There’s so much to be done before we leave (like get our house ready for visitors and speak at a blogging conference in Berlin!), but we’re getting there!
Now, just a few little links for your Friday.
Don’t forget to check out the wonderful and brave bloggers participating in the Things I’m Afraid to Tell You challenge. Lots more have joined as well, so feel free to leave your link in the comments!
Did you know Williams-Sonoma are selling Beekeeping starter kits? I would love one. We could put it in our teeny back garden with the chickens Michael has been requesting and we’d still have about 4 square feet to lounge!
Some weeks I get really sick of Apartment Therapy’s ubiquitous home visit posts, but sometimes they sneak in these really fabulous finds. Like a beautiful chain link fence art installation or a whole round up of clever loft beds.
I’m going to call it now – gold and silver leafing? Next new design trend. Move over chevron (hopefully!?), this stuff sparkles. See it here on the inside of a lamp shade!
Happy Friday!

My vote is for beekeeping in your back yard! It became legal in New York City two years ago, and this spring I’m on the search for local honey here.
I think so too…but we might need a slightly bigger back yard first!! Didn’t the Deals used to have bees? I remember some China Village bees somewhere…
Yes, they did have bees! I don’t know if they were collecting honey, but it’s still nice to have bees around. I’m becoming a big fan of them.
Wonder if they still have them? Maybe we could have China Village honey!! PS – you must tell me if/when you’ll be home in June so we can plan a firepit!
