Hello,
I'm a lurker who is planning a trip to Ireland in May. I was wondering if any of you know of any needlework shops I might visit while I'm there? Thanks very much, Sandra |

om... Hello, I'm a lurker who is planning a trip to Ireland in May. I was wondering if any of you know of any needlework shops I might visit while I'm there? In Balinaboola, which is close to New Ross, County Wexford, in the southeast corner of Ireland, is "Madra Dubh". http://www.madradubh.com/ I've never been there so can't offer any comment. emerald -- X-No-Archive: yes |

We were in England with my hubby in government service. I am not even Irish
and ended up with a whole slew of Belleek dishes. They are sooo thin I could not believe it so have a lot of shamrocks in my dining room cabinet now....Found nothing in needlework while there. It seemed that all the good stuff came from Holland. |

I was afraid of that. Beyond arriving in Dublin I don't know where
I'm going yet. A friend is giving me the airline ticket as a birthday present and the rest is up to me. So any suggestions are welcome! What was the weather like in May? Sandra ekoluvr (Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply ) wrote in message ... I was there2 years ago in May and didn't fine one LNS :-(! There had been one in Dublin but it closed. What I did find were a few needlework items in the craft sections of the various department stores in Dublin. I got one or two small things and that was all. I REALLY wanted to get a few hanks of woll but there was none to be found in any of the large or small shops I went to! That really surprised me. I asked and no one seemed to know where I coud find any. Seems it is all sent out to the people who do the hand knitting for the different sweater companies! Where in Ireland will be you visiting? I was in Dublin and then drove up to Co. Donegal and down the west coast and then through the south east section back to Dublin. I had a WONDERFUL time and can't wait until I can talk DH into taking me back again!! CiaoMeow ^;;^ . PAX, Tia Mary ^;;^ Queen of Kitties Angels can't show their wings on earth but nothing was ever said about their WHISKERS!! Nothing is complete without a few cat hairs! |
