Hello, friends! I have something new and fun for you on this rainy (at least in Dublin) Monday. Once a month, we’ll be getting a fun guest post from one of my favorite Irish bloggers, Kim of This is Alainn. Alainn means beautiful in Irish, although don’t ask me to pronounce it! I butcher it every time! Kim writes all about beautiful Irish products, designs and artists. Right up our collective alley here at FCV, no?
Kim’s first post for us is inspired by our recent summery weather here in Dublin. In true Irish style, it’s pouring today, but hopefully we still have a few nice days yet! Thanks, Kim!
